Forecasting global biodiversity threats associated with human population growth (2003, background): “…(Kerr and Currie, 1995; Forester and Machlis, 1996; Kirkland and Ostfeld, 1999; Thompson and Jones, 1999; Cincotta, Wisnewski, and Engelman, 2000; Cincotta and Engelman, 2000; Abbitt et al., 2000; McKinney, 2001; Harcourt, Parks and Woodroffe, 2001; Harcourt and Parks, 2003; Balmford et al.,…”
Stemming the tide: progress towards resolving the causes of decline and implementing management responses for the disappearing mammal fauna of northern Australia (2015, background): “In global comparisons, this decline is unusual, because severe biodiversity decline is usually associated with marked environmental modification and high human population density (Cardillo et al. 2004; Cincotta et al. 2000).”
Synthesis, part of a Special Feature on A Social-Ecological Analysis of Diversified Farming Systems: Benefits, Costs, Obstacles, and Enabling Policy Frameworks Ecosystem Services in Biologically Diversified versus Conventional Farming Systems: Benefits, Externalities, and Trade-Offs (2012, background): “…farming systems could potentially be a strategy for increasing production and local food security, particularly in biodiversity hotspot areas (Cincotta et al. 2000), which in turn could potentially reduce the need for habitat conversion and reduce attendant biodiversity loss (Phalan et al.…”
The state and conservation of Southeast Asian biodiversity (2010, background): “The link between high human population densities and risk to biodiversity is mainly indirect, but are nevertheless linked ( Cincotta et al. 2000 ).”
Extinction Debt of Protected Areas in Developing Landscapes (2004, background): “Human population growth and consequent conversion of habitat are among the primary threats to biological diversity (Cincotta et al. 2000).”
Integrating Habitat Status, Human Population Pressure, and Protection Status into Biodiversity Conservation Priority Setting (2005, background): “The annual population growth rate of 1.8% in these hotspots (1995–2000) was substantially higher than the annual global population growth rate of 1.3% (Cincotta et al. 2000).”
The flora of German cities is naturally species rich (2004, background): “Recent analyses on a global scale (Cincotta et al., 2000; Liu et al., 2003) have shown that the human population and the number of households grow extraordinarily in biodiversity hotspots.”
Status of a protected area system in the Hindu Kush-Himalayas: An analysis of PA coverage (2008, background): “PAs in the HKH, especially in the higher altitude areas, such as the Tibetan Plateau and Eastern Indian Himalayas, are facing more challenges due to rises in human population and human-induced threats (Cardillo et al. 2006; Cincotta et al. 2000; Myers et al. 2000; Jha and Bawa 2006).”
Metallophytes: the unique biological resource, its ecology and conservational status in Europe, central Africa and Latin America (2010, neutral): “Although this information has not been gathered extensively and reported formally in the literature, it may represent an important source of information to commence a search for further metallophytes, as artesanal mining is common in the Region.”
