Refining area of occupancy to address the modifiable areal unit problem in ecology and conservation by Moat, Justin, Bachman, Steven P., Field, Richard, Boyd, Doreen S.

“…The ‘modifiable areal unit problem’ is prevalent across many aspects of spatial analysis within ecology and conservation. The problem is particularly manifest when calculating metrics for extinction risk estimation, for example, area of occupancy (AOO).Although embedded into the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List criteria, AOO is often not used or is poorly applied. …”

“…Estimates of extinction risk for Amazonian plant and animal species are rare and not often incorporated into land-use policy and conservation planning. We overlay spatial distribution models with historical and projected deforestation to show that at least 36% and up to 57% of all Amazonian tree species are likely to qualify as globally threatened under International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List criteria. …”

The Balancing Act between Touism and the Environment in Maasai Mara - Case Study: Mara Serena Safari Lodge by Bid, Hema

“…The findings show that striking a balance between the expansions of tourism, stopping degradation of the Maasai Mara, saving the wildlife and leaving the local pastoralist community's lifestyle intact is probably the greatest challenge facing conservation in the game reserve. However, this research has proven that the MMNR needs more private help in the management of the reserve, for example, from European Game Wardens and external funding mostly from World Wildlife Fund for Nature, International Union for the Conservation of Nature and National Resources. …”
