If you've ever played Jenga, you know what happens when you pull out one important block—the tower comes crashing down. In real life, some things work the same way. The top wedge-shaped stone in an archway, called a keystone, locks the surrounding stones in place and keeps the arch from collapsing.

🗻In this article, Dragonetti et al share that 30% of mountain species risk losing ≥70% of their range even under low emissions and show high variation in sensitivity across regions. 🌄 Interested in learning more? You can find their article at doi.org/10.1111/cobi... #conservation #science

What #platypus #conservation can teach us: For conservationists, there’s a clear lesson: Protecting a hard-to-detect species starts with a map, a baseline, and a plan made before disaster strikes.

In our new Letter in @society4conbio.bsky.social, we argue that restoration efforts should be guided by ecological impact and not species’ origin. Existing frameworks assess non-native species by their impact on native species. Applied universally, they would indicate all herbivores are harmful.

The Australian government has created a vast new protected area, the Great Koala National Park, along the country’s east coast to safeguard koalas and 66 other threatened native species. #conservation #koalas 🐨🌍🐨

Emmanuel de Merode, Director of #VirungaNationalPark in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, believes that #conservation can succeed only—and exclusively—if it improves the living conditions of local communities.

Hong Kong and Singapore, two Asian #wildlifetrade hubs, imported nearly a million live wild birds from Africa between 2006 and 2020, according to a new analysis of customs data. Canaries, including species declining in the wild, topped the list.
