Socioeconomic factors predict population changes of large | ResearchBunny

Index

Abstract

This study investigates the drivers of population changes in 50 large mammalian carnivore species. The research reveals that socioeconomic development is more strongly associated with carnivore population declines than habitat loss or climate change. Rapid socioeconomic development leads to sharp population declines, but slowing development allows for potential population recovery. The findings highlight the complex and context-dependent relationship between human development and wildlife health, posing challenges to achieving UN Sustainable Development Goals.
