Shock-proofing conservation: are community forests in Madagascar resilient to a political crisis and its aftermath?
We explored the impacts of the 2009-2014 Madagascar political crisis and its aftermath on the performance of community managed forests and protected areas. In under-resourced nations like Madagascar, community forests need external support to avoid forest clearing and associated biodiversity loss.
Temporal parallels in hemiboreal wildfires: a historical inquiry into ecosystem dynamics
The anticipated increase in Canadian wildfire disturbances due to anthropogenic climate change will reduce the extent of the southern boreal forest and hamper land use, mirroring transformations observed around 7,000 years ago.
