Effectiveness of terrestrial protected areas in reducing habitat loss and population declines (2013, background): “However the importance of broad site-level management even for single-species conservation has been highlighted by several studies (Forrest et al., 2012; Liu et al., 2001; Palomares et al., 2000) and site-level interventions constitute the majority (80”
Climate refugia of snow leopards in High Asia (2016, background): “The ongoing climate change characterized by rapid warming could further challenge the persistence of remaining snow leopard populations (Forrest et al., 2012).”
Climate change vulnerability assessment of species (2018, background): “…impact mechanisms, including changes in resource availability (e.g., Mantyka-Pringle et al., 2014; Martin et al., 2015), habitat suitability (e.g., Aiello-Lammens et al., 2011; Forrest et al., 2012), and interspecific interactions (e.g., Fordham et al., 2013; Urban, Tewksbury, & Sheldon, 2012).”
Sustaining Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (2019, background): “However, analysis of the impact of climate change on the range of snow leopards predicts a contraction in suitable habitat and a fragmentation of distribution—both of which could cause a significant contraction in the range of the species (Forrest et al. 2012; Li et al. 2016).”
