Larger protected areas in tropics, sub-tropics face higher risk downgrading, downsizing & degazettement
2015-10-19 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS), Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), and Conservation International, found that larger protected areas, especially those in high population density regions, are more likely to undergo a downgrading, downsizing and degazettement (PADDD) event. Protected areas, like national parks and nature reserves, are areas designated or regulated to achieve specific biodiversity conservation objectives. In parts of the tropics and sub-tropics,...

Extreme changes in climate kept large, early dinosaurs from ruling the tropics

The multi-year, multi-institutional research study published today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, pieces together a detailed picture of the climate and ecology during the rise of the dinosaurs 230 million years ago….
