“…Since in the Caatinga it is expected an increase in temperature and a decrease in precipitation by 2050 (Souza & Manzi, 2014), we expected a decrease in climatic suitability, but our results showed the opposite. It is possible that the presence of forests in the evaluated area can maintain and even increase climatic suitability for C. fasciolata , as observed by Ramalho et al (2021) for amphibians. Contrastingly, in the Cerrado and Pantanal, C. fasciolata presented a greater proportion of loss in suitable climatic areas in future scenarios.…”

“…First, we resampled the habitat suitability maps (i.e., land‐use, considering forest cover), downscaling them to the same resolution as the climatic suitability maps cropped to extent of Brazil. We then multiplied the climatic suitability maps with the habitat suitability maps, generating environmental suitability maps (following Ramalho et al, 2021). The percentage values of environmental suitability ranged from 0 (low suitability) to 1 (high suitability).…”

“…These classes vary between dense and sparse forests. To evaluate habitat suitability, we transformed the original percentage values of forest cover to range from 0 (low suitability) to 1 (high suitability; following Ramalho et al, 2021).…”

“…Land‐use changes (particularly habitat loss) often lead to population declines, species extinction, metacommunity fragmentation, and ecosystem functioning loss (Fahrig, 1997; Thompson et al, 2017). Studies have shown the importance of evaluating the impacts of climate and land‐use changes together since they are interrelated processes and their combination can cause significant shifts in suitable environments across many taxa (see Gouveia et al, 2016; Jetz et al, 2007; Loiselle et al, 2010; Ramalho et al, 2021). These shifts can be critical in both temperate and tropical regions (Asner et al, 2010; Hof et al, 2011; Newbold, 2018).…”

Regional variation in responses of a vulnerable bird species to land‐use and climate change

Climate and land-use changes are expected to negatively affect many species and ecological processes, leading to biodiversity loss. However, some species can adapt to these changes. Wide-ranging species are expected to be less impacted by such changes, but they can occur in different domains with contrasting environmental conditions, resulting in different conservation statuses along their range. To understand whether a species will overall benefit or lose with global change, we evaluated the responses of a wide-ranging but a vulnerable bird (Crax fasciolata) to separate and combined effects of climate and land-use changes under different environmental policies in Brazil. Using ecological niche modeling and a land-use model within the Brazilian political context, we quantified climatic, habitat, and environmental suitability for Crax fasciolata under historical (2000) and future (2050) scenarios. Our findings showed that environmental suitability can increase for Crax fasciolata in Brazil in future, but these effects vary according to the domain and the specific future scenario considered. Climatically suitable areas will increase in all scenarios, and those environmental scenarios that include better habitat conditions will provide more environmentally suitable areas for Crax fasciolata. However, this increase comes from newly suitable areas in the Atlantic Forest and the Amazon, while the Pantanal, the Caatinga, and the Cerrado will lose environmental suitability due to native vegetation loss. Despite the availability of these new areas, reduced landscape permeability may hinder Crax fasciolata from reaching them. This reinforces the urgent call for public policies for native vegetation protection, reforestation, and effective deforestation control.

“…Another study claims that 96% of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region will likely face drought. In addition, 64% will face extreme drought while sea levels continue to rise, thereby affecting the economy and the entire population [58][59][60]. In 2020, approximately 5 million individuals were victims of Typhoon Vanco in Vietnam and the Philippines.…”

This paper assesses the existing reforestation and forest conservation policies and strategies in Southeast Asia and how they have impacted people’s lives. Southeast Asia contains 11 countries and is home to 20% of the world’s species. Unfortunately, the region has been practising deforestation at an alarming rate. The main cause of deforestation in the region is the creation of land for agriculture, with forest fires and the growing demand for timber also contributing. As a result, the region has lost 376,000 km2 of forest in the last 30 years. Parts of the region have been involved in international efforts to protect forests, such as the 2016 Paris Agreement. However, some of these policies have not made much difference because most countries are not willing to support the necessary strategies. From the study findings, the main strength of the existing polices and strategies is that they are being amended to suit different changes in demographics and the practical needs of the sector. The sector has been able to shift from the initial state forestry management to making forests a multi-sectoral economic development agent. On the other hand, there are few polices at the national level that ensure every citizen participates in tree planting and that they understand the need to stop deforestation. In addition, many countries in the region are less willing to join the international communities in fighting climate change; that is, they do not agree with international partnerships like the Pris Climate Change Agreement.

Indicators are important tools that help monitor and assess sustainability, providing crucial information for public management. This study aimed to analyze the behavior of municipalities in eastern amazon (State of Pará), through sustainability indicators that cover social, economic, environmental and basic sanitation dimensions, applying the statistical method of multivariate analysis. For the selection of indicators, a checklist of academic papers on sustainability was carried out. For the composition of the clusters, the Ward method was applied. To validate the number of groups, the Pakhira‐Bandyopadhyay‐Maulik (PBM) index was used, obtaining 2 groups for the sanitation and general dimensions, 3 for environmental and social and 7 groups for economic. In this study, it was possible to demonstrate that several municipalities have deficiencies related to access to water supply and mainly sewage collection and treatment, causing various consequences for the population, as they do not comply with the commitments of the Sustainable Development Goals.
