1). Fig. 1 Proportion of threatening processes affecting declining and improving mammals Site management, protected area creation and harvest restriction were the most frequently proposed conservation selleckchem actions for threatened mammals (Fig. 2a). Species that improved in status had more conservation actions proposed for them, and there was a significant difference between the proposed conservation measures for improving and declining species (χ2 = 282.3, df = 11, P < 0.001) with restoration and reintroduction relatively more frequently recommended for improving species, while protected area creation and management were most frequently proposed for both (Fig. 2a).

on the 2009 IUCN Red List Conservation actions were more frequently implemented for improving than declining species (χ2 = 83.1, df = 6, P < 0.001) (Fig. 2b). Hunting restriction (33%), research (20%), protected area creation (19%) and reintroductions (16%) were most frequently implemented for conserving threatened mammals (Fig. 2b). Proposed conservation actions for species threatened by residential/commercial developments were correlated with hunting restrictions (R = 0.19, n = 184, P < 0.05 for all) and livelihood/economic incentives (R = 0.26), whereas those species threatened by agricultural development had protected area selleck chemicals creation (R = 0.23) and site management (R = 0.22) proposed. Species threatened
by energy and mining developments had restoration (R = 0.16) and livelihood/economic incentives proposed (R = 0.21). For the majority of threats however, there was no correspondence with conservation actions. There was a significant difference between proposed and implemented conservation actions (χ2 = 127.19, df = 11, P < 0.001; Fig. 3). Site management, harvest management, training and livelihood/economic incentives were frequently proposed but never implemented, while invasive species control, captive breeding and hunting restrictions were more frequently implemented than proposed (Fig. 3). Fig. 3 The Methocarbamol proportion of conservation actions proposed and implemented for mammals based on the 2009 IUCN Red List One GLM exhibited substantial support (Model 2), with species improving in status because of reintroductions, captive breeding, and hunting restriction (Table 1). Model 1 included these variables as well as an additional one (protected area creation) however this was excluded because the additional parameter did not improve the model deviance sufficiently (following Arnold 2010). The Akaike’s weights for these two models sum to 0.66 suggesting there was a 66% likelihood that these models are the best fit for the data (Table 1). Reintroduction (θ = 99.9), captive breeding (98.5) and hunting restriction (92.0) had model averages almost double that of site creation (57.2) and over three times greater than invasive species control (27.6).
