Greater Focus Needed on Alien Plant Impacts in Protected Areas (2014, background): “However, even with the increased attention to alien plant impacts in protected areas of Pacific islands, biodiversity in the region is dwindling and the protected area system remains inadequate (Keppel et al. 2012).”
Developing sustainable small-scale fisheries livelihoods in Indonesia: Trends, enabling and constraining factors, and future opportunities (2021, background): “[66] conclude that medium- to long-term investments of at least 10–15 years are required to achieve reliable assessment of outcomes.”
Invasive alien species on islands: impacts, distribution, interactions and management (2017, background): “Our analysis excludes island territories and dependencies of continental nations that are not SIDSs (see also Keppel et al. 2012), and we caution that patterns of IAS introduction to and distribution on these islands with closer continental trade and governance links may differ (Costello et al.…”
Advancing Biodiversity Research in Developing Countries: The Need for Changing Paradigms (2014, background): “…and (3) biodiversity conservation, as researchers fail to provide data necessary for sustainability efforts. conservation programs have been known to fail because of the cultural, social, and economic differences between local communities and developed countries that fund them (Keppel et al. 2012).”
