A comparison of the costs of delivering conservation through land sharing and land sparing
… climate crisis demand overhaul of existing land use policies which have failed to reconcile food production and environmental conservation. In Europe, most existing policies compensate farmers to voluntarily implement land-sharing measures, commonly referred to as wildlife-friendly farming, …

Integrated or monofunctional landscapes? Agent-based modelling for evaluating the socioeconomic implications of land use interventions
The effectiveness of land sharing and land sparing (LS/LS) approaches to conservation in the face of rising agricultural demands has been widely debated. While numerous studies have investigated the LS/LS framework from an ecological lens (yield-biodiversity relationship) the relevance of the …

Managing the carnivore comeback: assessing the adaptive capacity of the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) to cohabit with humans in shared landscapes
… difficult species to preserve in our modern day landscapes. Although large carnivores are usually considered as the epitomes of wilderness, because of human population growth and habitat fragmentation they are inexorably and increasingly faced with the need to live in human-modified landscapes. …

Land use, food production, and the future of tropical forest species in Ghana
… wildlife-friendly farming practices, or sparing land for nature by using high-yielding farming methods on the smallest possible area to reduce the need to convert natural habitats. Previous theoretical work shows that understanding the relationship between population density and yield for …

Conservation in a changing world: assessing the conservation status of an agriculturally adapted species, the blue crane
… Crane Anthropoides paradiseus has adapted to land-use change in some parts of its range. By the 1980s, numbers of cranes in their natural core range in the eastern grasslands and Karoo of South Africa had declined dramatically due to agricultural development and poisoning, leading to the …
