Biological control of an agricultural pest protects tropical forests

Autor: Wyckhuys, Kris A.G. Hughes, A. C. Buamas, C. Johnson, Anne Vasseur, Liette Reymondin, Louis Deguine, J. -P. Sheil, D.

Though often perceived as an environmentally-risky practice, biological control of invasive species can restore crop yields, ease land pressure and thus contribute to forest conservation. Here, we show how biological control against the mealybug Phenacoccus manihoti (Hemiptera) slows deforestatio...

Distributions, conservation status, and abiotic stress tolerance potential of wild cucurbits (Cucurbita L.)

Autor: Khoury, Colin K. Carver, Daniel Kates, Heather R. Achicanoy, Harold A.E. Zonneveld, Maarten van Thomas, Evert Heinitz, Claire Jarret, Robert L. Labate, Joanne A. Reitsma, Kathy Nabhan, Gary P. Greene, Stephanie L.

Crop wild relatives are valuable genetic resources for crop improvement. Knowledge gaps, including with regard to taxonomy, distributions, and characterization for traits of interest constrain their use in plant breeding. These deficiencies also affect conservation planning, both with regard to i...

The conundrum of conservation agriculture and livelihoods in Southern Africa

Autor: Nkala, P Mango, N Corbeels, Marc Jan Veldwisch, G Huising, Jeroen

Low crop productivity, food insecurity, hunger and malnutrition; inadequate farming knowledge and skills, implements and inputs are characteristic of smallholder agriculture in Southern Africa. Many researchers argue that conservation agriculture can guarantee higher crop productivity, food secur...

Getting REDD to work locally: lessons learned from integrated conservation and development projects

Autor: Blom, B. Sunderland, T.C.H. Murdiyarso, Daniel

Integrated conservation and development projects (ICDPs) have been a pervasive, although widely criticized, approach to tropical conservation for more than 20 years. More recently, international conservation discourse has shifted away from project-based approaches and towards reducing emissions f...

New Rights for forest-based communities?: understanding processes of forest tenure reform

Autor: Larson, A.M. Barry, D.M. Dahal, G.R.

This article reports on findings from a research project, in more than 30 sites in 10 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, aimed at analyzing cases where changes in formal tenure rights for forest-based communities had recently occurred or were in process. Though by far largest proportion...

Landscape-scale research for conservation and development in the tropics: fighting persisting challenges

Autor: Pfund, J.L.

Landscape approaches have been identified as a way to address conservation and development issues in biodiversityrich tropical areas. The author conducted a literature review of 51 case studies selected by an independent analyst to evaluate how these approaches have been applied. The case studies...
