Shifting To A Land Systems Paradigm In Conservation
Land-Use Changes And Biodiversity Conservationland Use Is A Primary Cause Of Biodiversity Loss, Which Is A Global Crisis Threatening Human Well-Being. The Erc-Funded Systemshift Project Will Bring About Major Breakthroughs In Our Understanding Of How Land Use Threatens Biodiversity. Specifically, Systemshift Will Develop Novel Concepts To Identify Key Combinations Of Land-Use Actors And Threats, To Understand Interactions Among Different Land-Use-Related Threats, And To Carry Out Effective Conservation Planning. The Project Will Empirically Validate These Concepts For Two Tropical Dry Forest Regions In South America, The Chaco And Chiquitano Forests, And Study Dry Forests Globally To Provide Insights Into Conservation Challenges And Opportunities In These Endangered Forests.
