A flexible multi-scale approach for standardised recording of plant species richness patterns (2009, background): “At the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, 190 nations agreed on ‘‘. . . achieving by 2010 a significant reduction in the current rate of biodiversity loss at the global, national, and regional level . . .’’ (Balmford et al., 2005a, b; EEA, 2007).”
Coral mortality versus structural collapse as drivers of corallivorous butterflyfish decline (2009, background): “Climate change has emerged as one of the greatest threats to the world’s ecosystems (Walther et al. 2002) and is expected to greatly accelerate recent declines in biodiversity (Thomas et al. 2004; Balmford et al. 2005).”
Using camera trapping and hierarchical occupancy modelling to evaluate the spatial ecology of an African mammal community (2016, background): “As a result, emerging conservation and management paradigms favour multi-species vs. single species approaches where the objective is sustaining biodiversity and ecosystem functions (Yoccoz, Nichols & Boulinier 2001; Balmford et al. 2005).”
Worldwide decline of specialist species: toward a global functional homogenization? (2011, background): “Ideally, a biodiversity indicator should accurately reflect changes in biodiversity, link such changes appropriately to specific pressures, and be rooted in sound scientific theory (Balmford et al. 2005).”
The Tropical Biodiversity Data Gap: Addressing Disparity in Global Monitoring (2008, background): “Measuring current trends and predicting future changes in the health of species and ecosystems have long been goals of conservation science; however, the adoption of the 2010 target has highlighted the need for investment in such tools [ 3 ].”
Contrasting trends of butterfly species preferring semi-natural grasslands, field margins and forest edges in northern Europe (2007, background): “…kinds of indicators at various spatial levels are needed for assessing whether the Convention of Biological Diversity’s 2010 target (UNEP 2006)—a significant reduction in the current rate of biodiversity loss on global, regional and national levels—will be achieved (Balmford et al. 2005a, b).”
Measuring the effectiveness of protected area networks in reducing deforestation (2008, background): “PLoS ?/'o/4:e105. 3. Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (2005) Ecosystems and Human Well-Being: Policy Responses (Island Press, Washington, DC).”
Status of a protected area system in the Hindu Kush-Himalayas: An analysis of PA coverage (2008, background): “The philosophy exemplified by these conservation approaches is that human beings are necessary components of bio-cultural landscapes (Brunckhorst 2000; Balmford et al. 2005).”
