2/ Deer density varied widely (0.14–18.17 individuals/km²), with P. nemorivagus having the highest numbers.
Key threats? Poaching, domestic dog predation, disease from livestock & wild boar competition. These pressures may drive local extinctions if left unchecked.

This means local data matters! 🌱 Our findings show that global indices may not always reflect on-the-ground human pressures on wildlife.

1/ Remote-sensing indices like the Global Human Influence Index (GHII) didn’t correlate with our AII, suggesting they may miss key local pressures such as poaching, plant exploitation & invasive species.

The socioeconomic and environmental niche of protected areas reveals global conservation gaps and opportunities - Nature Communications
In this study, the authors show that the placement of protected areas is globally highly heterogenous but can be accurately predicted from a reduced set of socioeconomic and environmental factors. The...
