Where there’s smoke there is fire: Türkiye and the international illegal wildlife trade by Özgün Emre Can

“…By guiding policymakers, conservationists, and authorities, the study fosters international cooperation, optimal resource use, and endangered species protection. International wildlife trafficking can occur when detection and law enforcement measures fail in both the countries of origin and destination, and, where relevant, in transit countries, showing the necessity for governments worldwide to make the international illegal wildlife trade a priority.…”

Synergizing Multi-Temporal Remote Sensing and Systemic Resilience for Rainstorm–Flood Risk Zoning in the Northern Qinling Foothills: A Geospatial Modeling Approach by Dong Liu, Jiaqi Zhang, Xin Wang, Jianbing Peng, Rui Wang, Xiaoyan Huang, Denghui Li, Long Shao, Zixuan Hao

“…This framework quantitatively evaluates the nonlinear response mechanisms of town–village systems to flood disasters, emphasizing the synergistic effects of spatial scale, morphology, and functional organization. The proposed framework uniquely integrates three innovative modules: (1) a hybrid risk identification engine combining normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) temporal anomaly detection and spatiotemporal hotspot analysis; (2) a morpho-functional resilience quantification model featuring a newly developed spatial morphological resilience index (SMRI) that synergizes landscape compactness, land-use diversity, and ecological connectivity through the entropy-weighted analytic hierarchy process (AHP); and (3) a dynamic scenario simulator embedding rainfall projections into a coupled hydrodynamic model. …”
