How Kibber Turned Snow Leopard Conflict into Coexistence Once hunted as a threat, the snow leopard is now Spiti’s guardian spirit. In Kibber, community-led conservation and winter tourism have turned conflict into coexistence—and survival into prosperity.

All of these are key tools to promoting coexistence between large carnivores and human development. Learn more: tinyurl.com/ff67r7xm

Maintaining critical wildlife corridors allows the exchange of genetics to continue. Without it, they could face extinction within 50 years.

Unifying well-preserved areas with buffer zones across fragmented habitat, the initiative hopes to serve as a model for maintaining connectivity across other fragmented landscapes. Read more: tinyurl.com/3aswjuru #HabitatFragmentation #Jaguar #SouthAmerica #Conservation #EcosystemHealth

Oregon's Wildlife Corridors Have Been Mapped The research team created an interactive Priority Wildlife Connectivity Areas Map of Oregon, which can be used to protect wild animals' ability to move from place to place.

This is important to species survival as it helps reduce the risk of inbreeding. Linkages can also prevent wildlife-vehicle collisions.

[6/6] Ces résultats éclairent les stratégies d’adaptation des espèces face aux routes. Ils rappellent aussi que l’augmentation du trafic pourrait perturber ces équilibres et aggraver la compétition entre espèces comme le bobcat et l’ocelot, déjà très vulnérable. #geography #habitatfragmentation

[5/6] L’étude confirme que les routes agissent comme des perturbateurs écologiques, modifiant les rythmes d’activité sans forcément repousser les espèces. Ces adaptations comportementales permettent un accès limité aux zones routières à moindre risque. #geography #roadimpact #habitatfragmentation

[4/6] Les cerfs montrent la plus forte "évitement temporel", décalant nettement leur activité vers la nuit aux abords de FM106. Ce comportement peut s’expliquer par la pression combinée du trafic et de la présence accrue de prédateurs comme les coyotes. #geography #roadimpact #habitatfragmentation

[3/6] Bobcats et coyotes sont paradoxalement plus souvent observés près de la route. Leurs comportements suggèrent qu’ils y trouvent des avantages (proies, déplacements). Leur activité évite cependant les pics de circulation, réduisant ainsi les risques de collision. #geography #habitatfragmentation

Reproductive biology of Santolina ligustica Arrigoni, a rare narrow-ranged species: implications for conservation Abstract. Santolina ligustica is a rare narrow-ranged species endemic to Liguria (Italy) for which a likely trend of decline has been recorded. For this re

Looking at plant-pollinator interactions, the reproductive efficiency & seed germination performances were evaluated. S. lingustica is insect-pollinated & self-incompatible, but is likely threatened more by #HabitatFragmentation & land-use change than anything else! 👇(2/2)
