Understanding extinction risk in the Anthropocene
We live in a humanized world in which even the most remote areas have been affected by the actions of our species. Human impacts have caused a widespread loss of biodiversity, to the point that we have likely entered the sixth mass extinction event on Earth, the first primarily caused by humans. Read more

Conservation management of the Isle of Wight red squirrel population
The Evolutionary Significant Unit (ESU) concept was developed to provide a rational basis for prioritizing conservation effort. it defines unique population(s) that have evolved independently (Ryder, 1986). Read more
