What Every Conservation Biologist Should Know about Human Population
-
EDITORIAL:CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH:
As with population issues, conservation biologists should ensure that we, as individuals and a professional society, understand the current state of knowledge about consumption and encourage constructive dialogues on consumption and its effects on biodiversity. We are not the first to highlight the issue of consumption (Baltz 1999) in this journal. Although conservation biologists may debate whether U.S. consumption is excessive (Ehrlich & Goulder 2007), the answer is more clear to some. Two months after the 2011 Society for Conservation Biology meeting mentioned above, the first author was in India attending a presentation by Elinor Os- trom (2012), who won the Nobel Prize for her work on management of the commons. At the end of the presentation, a participant asked Dr. Ostrom how we can get the world to talk about consumption as the root cause of the world’s environmental problems. This is the question conservation biologists should ask more often.

What is the future of conservation?
-
In recent years, some conservation biologists and con- servation organizations have sought to refocus the field of conservation biology by de-emphasizing the goal of protecting nature for its own sake in favor of protecting the environment for its benefits to humans. This ‘new conservation science’ (NCS) has inspired debate among academics and conservationists and motivated funda- mental changes in the world’s largest conservation groups. Despite claims that NCS approaches are sup- ported by biological and social science, NCS has limited support from either. Rather, the shift in motivations and goals associated with NCS appear to arise largely from a belief system holding that the needs and wants of humans should be prioritized over any intrinsic or inherent rights and values of nature.

What is the Role of Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs)?
-
This video focuses on how LCCs and their ecologically defined boundaries came about and then details four key roles of this science and management regional partnership: addressing large-scale threats by facilitating conservation planning, developing natural resource management tools and information, engaging diverse audiences, and building capacity to leverage and share resources.
