We present an extensive literature review exploring the relationships between food
insecurity and rapid biodiversity loss, and the competing methods proposed to address each …

Farming is the basis of our civilization yet is more damaging to wild nature than any other
sector of human activity. Here, we propose that in order to limit its impact into the future …

Human-driven land-use changes increasingly threaten biodiversity, particularly in tropical
forests where both species diversity and human pressures on natural environments are …

Island biogeography is the study of the distribution and dynamics of species in island
environments. Due to their isolation from more widespread continental species, islands are …

World food demand is expected to more than double by 2050. Decisions about how to meet
this challenge will have profound effects on wild species and habitats. We show that farming …

Habitat loss and degradation that comes as a result of human activity is the single biggest
threat to biodiversity in the world today. Habitat Fragmentation and Landscape Change is a …

Protected areas are one of the cornerstones for conserving the world's remaining
biodiversity, most of which occurs in tropical forests. We use multiple sources of satellite data …

Biodiversity is declining from unprecedented land conversions that replace diverse, low‐
intensity agriculture with vast expanses under homogeneous, intensive production. Despite …

As tropical regions are converted to agriculture, conservation of biodiversity will depend not
only on the maintenance of protected forest areas, but also on the scope for conservation …

Although an increasing number of studies have shown that diverse, multi-strata agroforestry
systems can contribute to the conservation of tropical biodiversity, there is still debate about …
