Abstract

Anthropogenic factors Biodiversity Biodiversity loss Climate change Conservation Environmental impact Environmental restoration Human influences Land management Surveys
Climate change and other anthropogenic drivers are posing challenges to traditional biodiversity conservation approaches. As these drivers intensify, ecological restoration of some ecosystems is becoming increasingly difficult. Expert preferences, such as ecologists, land managers, and restoration practitioners, strongly influence the debate. This research revealed the results of a global survey of experts remarks both traditional and non-traditional options in biodiversity conservation and restoration. Authors used questionnaire to assess expert preferences for both traditional and new management actions, building on previous work. The paper also explored views about current and future conditions, as climate change impacts intensify and more information. Approximately 20% of the sample included the same lead authors, and a further 15% were no longer at the email address specified, nor did their replies indicate more current addresses. This global survey has valued for understanding the global trends in perceptions of biodiversity conservation experts, but more localized work is needed. Experts agree on the key drivers of biodiversity loss but are less certain about the likely synergistic impacts of the drivers and so the most effective management response.
