Migratory flyways sustain waterbird populations by linking critical habitats across their annual cycle. However, stage-specific impacts of climate change on these habitats remain poorly understood. We integrated species distribution models with annual migration data from 30 Greater White-fronted Geese () to assess changes in habitat suitability, distributional shifts, and suitability fluctuations across breeding, stopover, and wintering stages under mid-century (2040-2060) climate scenarios.

Sub-Saharan Africa's (SSA) rapid urbanization and climate change have resulted in habitat loss, deforestation, and reduction in urban green spaces. Urban greenness is vital for biodiversity, public health, and climate resilience. Urban green spaces have several health advantages, including lowering urban heat stress and enhancing mental and physical well-being of the population.

Given the importance of protected areas for biodiversity, the growth of visitation to many areas has raised concerns about the effects of humans on wildlife. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led to temporary closure of national parks in the United States, offering a pseudonatural experiment to tease apart the effects of permanent infrastructure and transient human presence on animals. We compiled GPS tracking data from 229 individuals of 10 mammal species in 14 parks and used third-order hierarchical resource selection functions to evaluate the influence of the human footprint on animal space use in 2019 and 2020.

This paper studies the effect of public debt on environmental debt by considering the top ten highly indebted countries with annual periods from 1996 to 2022, exploring both the theoretical framework and empirical evidence. For the empirical investigation, the study employs the panel ARDL model, and the robustness of these results is confirmed from the FGLS model. The findings indicate that at the initial level of public debt, it is a "Curse" and at a higher level of public debt, it is a "Benediction" for environmental debt, with the turning point around 99 % of public debt to GDP.

Globally, over half of all terrestrial animals have ranges that cross international borders, making transboundary conservation crucial for protecting threatened species and their habitats. In Central Asia, the Hindu-Kush Karakoram-Pamir Landscape (HKPL), spanning Afghanistan, China, Pakistan, and Tajikistan is a critical habitat for mountain ungulates, including Marco Polo sheep (MPS) and Siberian ibex (ibex). These two wide-ranging and migratory species face significant challenges associated with habitat loss, competition with domesticated ungulates, and climate change.
