Accurate species delineation is critical for implementing evidence-based conservation frameworks for endangered species, enabling precise prioritisation of ecological intervention…

The theory of island biogeography posits that geographical features play a key regulatory role in shaping biodiversity. As a dispersal-limited group, amphibians are particularly s…

Data deficiency remains a major constraint in understanding the extinction risk and conservation of Magnolia species globally. Magnolia sumatrae (Dandy) Figlar & Noot. is one of t…

Human-wildlife interactions in shared-use landscapes increasingly shape conservation outcomes for large herbivores, particularly where seasonal resource dynamics overlap with anth…

Immersive virtual reality is increasingly being used as a tool for promoting environmental awareness, particularly to strengthen engagement with nature. However, most research has…

Amphibians are amongst the most threatened vertebrate groups worldwide and population declines are driven by climate change, habitat degradation and the spread of emerging infecti…

The conservation of endangered species is under growing threat from poaching, which has become more complex and globally widespread. In Romania, escalating human–wildlife conflict…

The present study presents an initial eDNA-based assessment of metazoan biodiversity associated with Zostera seagrass meadows and neighbouring bare sand habitats in Foros Bay, loc…

Amphibian misidentification within the commercial wildlife trade represents a growing challenge for biodiversity conservation and wildlife regulation. Morphologically similar spec…

Cultural ecosystem services (CES) are increasingly recognized not only for their symbolic and experiential values but also for their potential to shape human behavior. Song lyrics…

The flowering plant genus Erica (Ericaceae) includes well over 800 species and numerous formally described subspecies and varieties. Many of these are threatened in the wild. The …

The negative impact of roads and railways on nature and landscape is a well-known fact. The construction of linear infrastructure leads to the fragmentation of previously function…

Despite their high nature conservation value and protection through the EU Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC), extensively managed semi-natural grasslands are often disappearing rapid…

Coral reefs are rapidly degrading under escalating local and global pressures and some centennial coral colonies may disappear before they are even documented. These giant colonie…

Waterbirds are increasingly reliant on smaller, spatially separated but ecologically connected satellite wetlands amid the global loss and degradation of large natural wetlands. H…

Incidental catch in fishing gear, mainly in bottom-set gillnets targeting turbot, is a major mortality factor for the Black Sea harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena relicta), an en…

Free-flowing rivers (FFRs) across Europe hold high ecological value and clear economic benefits. They support biodiversity by providing habitats for a wide range of aquatic and te…

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is a key lever to support the transition towards sustainable agricultural production in Europe. However, successive reforms have been incremen…

This paper provides an overview of the EU policy context relevant to wetlands, assessing EU legislations that support or counteract wetland conservation, restoration and sustainab…

This article examines the socio-economic importance and valuation of different types of wetland restoration as nature-based solutions (NBS). Wetlands, like other NBS, generate pos…

Freshwater ecosystems are vital for biodiversity and human well-being, but remain amongst the most degraded globally. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) offer a promising pathway to res…

Low-lying coasts in Europe share a long history of land reclamation enabled by flood defences, which radically transformed natural coastal processes and buffers. Traditional coast…

This paper examines the role of transnational cooperation in conserving the ecological integrity of the Danube River through the DANUBEPARKS network of protected areas. As Europe’…

Floodplain wetlands in riverine environments are characterized by rhythmic hydrological changes, which re-structure physical habitat, change between aquatic and dry life condition…

Wetlands help to regulate the climate by sequestering and storing carbon from the atmosphere into their biomass and soils. Although wetlands can provide valuable ecosystem service…

Riparian Wetland conservation and restoration in Europe increasingly rely on nature-based solutions, yet biodiversity monitoring of their implementation remains fragmented across …

Floodplains are dynamic ecosystems that provide a multitude of ecosystem services (ES), yet they have historically been managed primarily for a limited set of human benefits, ofte…

Global projections indicate that between 20% and 90% of current coastal wetland areas may be lost due to sea-level rise (SLR), depending on the severity of the scenario. Warming, …
