Figure 1 in Medium- and large-sized mammal composition in the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park and adjacent areas, state of Goiás, Brazil

Figure 1. Distribution of camera-traps in the sampled area of Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park (delimited polygon) and its surroundings (10 km from the park boundaries), separated by at least 1 km, in the Cerrado of central Brazil. inserted within the Cerrado biome (coordinates of 13°51' to 14°10'S and 47°25' to 47°42'W). The CVNP is considered the largest area of environmental conservation and the most important ecotourism attraction in the region (Barbosa, 2008). The Cerrado region is located in mid-latitudes and presents the main seasonal climatic type (Aw), with annual temperature between 24°C and 26°C and 90% of rainfall concentrated from October to April, while in the dry season (May to September), the air humidity is very low (below 20% in August and September) and the amount of rainfall can reach zero millimeters in a few months (Marcuzzo et al., 2012). In the region of CVNP, there is a predominance of soils poor in nutrients, which ends up preventing the larger plant colonization, whichever the grasslands of the Cerrado Sensu Strictu (Eiten, 1972; Felfili et al., 2007). In total, the CVNP presents 77% of savanna formation, and 9% corresponds to the forest fragments (Porto et al., 2011). On the other hand, the surrounding of the park has the largest sum of private reserves (Private Reserves of Natural Heritage – RPPN) of the State of Goiás, are 21 RPPNs with 21,515.87 ha (30% of CVNP area) and these are hold a higher percentage of forest cover (Falconi & Diniz-Filho, 2003; Silva et al., 2016). 80% of the RPPNs area, located in the Alto Paraiso region, are protected near the areas sampled in this study (Silva et al., 2016).

Microhabitat data of bryophyte occurrences in and near Sequoia National Park at varying elevations

On the western slope of California's Sierra Nevada, bryophytes were studied from the foothills (summers dry; winters mild) to the alpine zone (summers short; winters with snow cover). Plots of 25 m2 were chosen from 380 to 3,578 meters above sea level. Within each of the 253 plots, bryophyte species and their abundance were recorded along with microsite wetness, shadiness, incline, and the type of substrate. Data was used to assess changes in species richness and abundance across elevations and microhabitat characteristics.

Residents perspectives on human-wildlife conflict management to build community resilience in Chitwan National Park, Nepal

<ol> <li>Human-wildlife conflict can significantly impact economic, social, and ecological systems critical to promoting sustainable development. Effectively managing conflicts between people and wildlife that share a common landscape requires the implementation of effective management strategies that aim to reduce the impacts of HWC and promote coexistence as preferred by the community. However, many studies have often overlooked social aspects, especially the residents' perceptions of HWC management, that can help build community resilience.</li> <li>Residents and wildlife share a common landscape in the Chitwan National Park in Nepal. Competition for resources grows as the human-modified landscape provides a new form of habitat for wildlife. We used Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) to capture the residents' (n=506) perspectives on the importance of HWC management strategies and their performance by park management to prioritize strategies that could help build community resilience.</li> <li>We found notable mean performance-importance gaps for the eight HWC management strategies, representing the park management's inability to meet the desired need of farmers and non-farmers. The IPA matrix grid shows the three strategies - skill, livelihood, and compensation - that need immediate attention from park management as they fall under high-priority strategies in quadrant II. The two-way ANOVA results revealed that the residents' perspectives on importance and performance in all management sectors differ.</li> <li>We conclusively recommend developing site-and context-specific HWC management plans that consider the affected community's livelihood needs, which are essential for increasing the operational effectiveness of HWC management. Park management should prioritize strategies in sectors more vulnerable to HWCs to secure community support for long-term conservation goals.</li> <li>This study will be a key reference for identifying context-specific management strategies that incorporate community resilience in the management of human-wildlife conflict. This could inform HWC management policy and conservation planning to achieve coexistence that benefits both people and wildlife, particularly in low-income countries with similar socio-ecological settings. Overall, our findings provide a new perspective on human-wildlife conflict management that policymakers, researchers, and protected area managers around the world can use to build community resilience to facilitate coexistence.</li> </ol>

Human wildlife conflict in Shuklaphanta National Park

Human-wildlife interactions occur when humans and wildlife coexist and share common resources including food or shelter. Increasing wildlife populations within protected areas can also increase interactions with humans living adjacent to these areas, resulting in conflicts including human casualty, livestock depredation, crop damage, and property loss. We collected the data between 28 September 2021 to 8 January 2022. We analyzed six years of human-wildlife conflict data from 2016–2021 in the buffer zone of Shuklaphanta National Park and conducted a questionnaire survey to investigate factors influencing human-wildlife conflicts. The analyses were done using descriptive statistics and generalized linear modeling. People were attacked primarily by wild boar (Sus scrofa). Mostly, the livestock were killed by leopard (Panthera pardus), and among these most were sheep or goats killed near ShNP during summer. Crops were most frequently damaged by Asian elephants (Elephas maximus), followed by wild boar. The greatest economic losses were from damage to rice, followed by sugarcane and wheat. Asian elephant was the only reported species to cause structural damage to property (e.g., homes). The majority of respondents considered that the mitigation techniques that are currently in practice are effective to reduce conflicts. However, the effectiveness of the mitigation techniques is species-specific, and we recommend the use of more efficacious deterrents (e.g., electric fencing) for large herbivores and mesh wire fencing partially buried in the ground. Effective collaboration among different tiers of government, non-governmental organizations, civil societies, and affected communities is important to share the best practices and continue to apply innovative methods for impactful mitigation of human-wildlife conflicts in the region. The dataset contains this information for 300 households around Shuklaphanta National Park region.

Population dynamics and social organization of sambar (Rusa unicolor unicolor) in Horton Plains National Park, Sri Lanka

We estimated the population density and investigated the social organization of sambar (Rusa unicolor unicolor) in Horton Plains National Park (HPNP), Sri Lanka. Distance sampling was conducted along six strip transects every month for a period over three years (2018–2020) to estimate the density of the sambar population in grasslands of HPNP (9.4 km2), while the antler stage of males and the behaviour of individuals were recorded to describe the population's reproductive stage and hence the social organization. Population density estimates showed relative stability over the three years and varied over the seasons but with consistent peaks from year to year with the highest population densities recorded in November-December (212.93 ± 25.38 animals/km2 in 2018, 187.91 ± 28.51 in 2019, and 179.76 ± 31.85 in 2020). The highest percentage of males in hard antlers was observed from November through January, while the percentage of antlers cast sambar peaked from March to April each year. Hinds were observed with newborn calves throughout the year, but the highest number of newborn calves were recorded from July to August each year, while the number of calves counted each year varied from 210–267 individuals. The mean group size was variable throughout each year with the largest groups recorded from September to December (up to 52), the period accompanied by the most observations of mating and sparring behaviour. Although on a tropical island, HPNP is situated on a rolling plateau landscape in the highlands, where sambar showed a degree of reproductive seasonality somewhat similar to temperate cervid species.
