Revisiting the Links between Governance and Biodiversity Loss (original) (raw)

2007, Conservation Biology

AI-generated Abstract

The paper revisits the connections between governance and biodiversity loss, particularly focusing on criticisms raised by Barrett et al. (2006) concerning earlier analyses of forest cover and African elephant populations. It clarifies misinterpretations in Barrett et al.'s critique and emphasizes that previous findings did not establish a significant correlation between governance and biodiversity, suggesting the effects of corruption and economic development policies on conservation outcomes. Key themes include the importance of collaborative learning in conservation inspired by Linnaeus's teaching methods, the implications of biodiversity erosion, and the need for continued exploration of governance's role in effective conservation strategies.
