Long-term Small Population Size, Deleterious Variation, and Altitude Adaptation in the Ethiopian Wolf, a Severely Endangered Canid

Jazlyn A. Mooney et al.

Summary: Ethiopian wolves, one of the most endangered canids in the world, have experienced long-term small population size and consequent low genetic diversity. Through whole-genome sequencing, it was found that Ethiopian wolves have undergone ancient and recent bottlenecks, resulting in a current population size of less than 500 individuals and an effective population size of approximately 100 individuals. The long-term small population size may have limited the accumulation of strongly deleterious mutations.

Future temperature extremes threaten land vertebrates

Gopal Murali et al.

Summary: The frequency, duration, and intensity of extreme thermal events are increasing and will continue to increase in the future. This study provides a global assessment of land vertebrates' exposure to future extreme thermal events and finds that under high greenhouse gas emission scenarios, a significant percentage of land vertebrates will be exposed to extreme heat beyond their historical levels. Mid-latitude assemblages will face the most severe exposure to future extreme thermal events, and deep greenhouse gas emissions cuts are urgently needed to limit species' exposure to thermal extremes.

Assessing the success of the first cheetah reintroduction in Malawi

Olivia Sievert et al.

Summary: This study monitored the survival and post-release movements of reintroduced cheetahs in Liwonde National Park, Malawi, and found that males traveled farther and established home ranges later than females. All female cheetahs gave birth to their first litter within 4 months of release. Within 2 years of reintroduction, the newly established population consisted of 14 cheetahs, with demographic attributes similar to those recorded in the source populations.

Agroclimatic Zone-Based Analysis of Rainfall Variability and Trends in the Wabi Shebele River Basin, Ethiopia

Abebe Teklu Toni et al.

Summary: This study assessed the variability and trends of rainfall in the Wabi Shebele River Basin in Ethiopia. The findings revealed differences in rainfall patterns among different agroclimatic zones, with no uniform trend observed. Most of the arid and semi-arid areas showed a non-significant decreasing trend in annual rainfall.

The future of sub-Saharan Africa's biodiversity in the face of climate and societal change

Colin A. A. Chapman et al.

Summary: Africa, as one of the most biodiverse regions in the world, is facing significant conservation threats due to population growth, economic expansion, and climate change. This article assesses the challenges and proposes key questions for African conservation, emphasizing the need for additional international funding and the development of education capacity within the continent.

The decline of large carnivores in Africa and opportunities for change

Tarik Bodasing

Summary: Large carnivore populations are declining globally, particularly in Africa where they play a unique role in ecosystems and human evolutionary history. The rapid disappearance of large carnivores in Africa is concerning, and finding solutions is complex due to factors such as human population growth, cultural values, and regulations. Lessons can be learned from successful programs that combine good governance, community participation, and sustainable funding to protect carnivores at landscape scales.

Linking biological monitoring and wildlife ecotourism: a call for development of comprehensive community-based projects in search of sustainability

Ruben Ortega-Alvarez et al.

Summary: This article discusses the connection between biological monitoring and wildlife ecotourism, highlighting the importance of linking both activities through comprehensive community-based projects. It also explores the potential positive impacts and benefits that these two types of programs can have on each other, including funding, self-employment opportunities, and conservation management guidelines. Collaboration between wildlife ecotouristic and biological monitoring practitioners is encouraged to foster comprehensive and self-sustaining community-based projects.

Suitable duration of grazing exclusion for restoration of a degraded alpine meadow on the eastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Zhenchao Zhang et al.

Summary: The research on the impact of grazing exclusion on degraded alpine meadows shows the positive effects of grazing exclusion on restoring grassland functions. However, it is recommended to cease grazing exclusion after 8 to 10 years to maintain plant diversity and ecosystem multifunctionality in alpine meadows.

Land cover change and its implication to hydrological regimes and soil erosion in Awash River basin, Ethiopia: a systematic review

Sintayehu Yadete Tola et al.

Summary: The Awash River basin in Ethiopia is highly developed and its water resources are crucial for development. Changes in land cover, particularly urbanization and agricultural activities, have significantly impacted hydrological components, leading to variations in runoff, groundwater flow, base flow, and evapotranspiration. These changes have also triggered flood and drought downstream, highlighting the importance of sound water management strategies to mitigate water scarcity and flooding.

The successful reintroduction of African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) to Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique

Paola Bouley et al.

Summary: The reintroduction of wild dogs in Gorongosa National Park has been a success, with the founding packs showing high survival rates and successful reproduction. The study highlights the importance of pre-release preparation and natural pack formations in aiding the success of reintroductions. Various factors such as habitat avoidance, dietary partitioning, and management strategies have contributed to the successful reintroduction of wild dogs in the large, unfenced landscape of Mozambique.

What are tourists willing to pay for securing the survival of a flagship species? The case of protection of the Ethiopian wolf

Tafesse Estifanos et al.

Summary: Tourists are willing to pay for increasing the population of the Ethiopian wolf, with a higher willingness for smaller, more viable increases. They also value the size of the protected area and access to the wolf habitat. Tourists' willingness to pay is influenced by their prior experience with Ethiopian PAs and viewing other unique species in the park.
