20.500.12556/RUL-170911 Global scale assessment of the human-induced extinction crisis of terrestrial carnivores Human impacts on carnivores are a persistent conservation challenge worldwide. We present a global analysis showing the overlap of conservation lands and the cumulative impact of humans on the distribution ranges of 257 terrestrial carnivore species. Our findings reveal that 64% of carnivore ranges overlap with areas characterized by high human pressures. We found that Indigenous peoples’ lands emerge as crucial for carnivore population viability, potentially safeguarding 26% of carnivore ranges globally, while protected and wilderness areas cover roughly 10 and 16% of carnivore ranges, respectively. These three areas combined cover 35% of the global range of carnivores. Reducing human pressure on conservation lands and managing them to protect carnivores are therefore critical, yet challenging. The extent of carnivore ranges outside these areas underscores the necessity to expand the network of conservation lands, which are a pivotal component of global conservation planning, alongside broader proactive species-specific conservation measures. true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-07-21 12:44:57 2025-07-21 12:45:00 2025-07-22 04:16:02 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 13 str. iss. 29, article no. eadq2853 Vol. 11 18 Jul. 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 591.531.2:502.172 2375-2548 10.1126/sciadv.adq2853 243215619 RAZ_Torres-Romero_Erik_Joaquin_2025.pdf RAZ_Torres-Romero_Erik_Joaquin_2025.pdf 1 28EAAAC4571A000E1FD74C3921083751 72262c022a8fa5bf18751e21534e1a41d271901202362db626da6bc5910e123c 86b947bb-6620-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=213193 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adq2853 1 be866c9e-661f-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=213189 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
