Protected areas (PAs) are cornerstones of biodiversity conservation, but small parks alone cannot support wide-ranging species,
such as the tiger. Hence, forest dynamics in the surrounding landscapes of PAs are also important to tiger conservation. Tiger
landscapes often support considerable human population in proximity of the PA, sometimes within the core itself, and thus
are subject to various land use activities (such as agricultural expansion and road development) driving habitat loss and
fragmentation. We synthesize information from 27 journal articles in 24 tiger landscapes to assess forest-cover dynamics in
tiger-range countries. Although 29% of the PAs considered in this study have negligible change in overall forest cover, approximately
71% are undergoing deforestation and fragmentation. Approximately 58% of the total case studies have human settlements within
the core area. Most changes—including agricultural expansion, plantation, and farming (52%), fuelwood and fodder collection
(43%), logging (38%), grazing (38%), and tourism and development (10%)—can be attributed to human impacts largely linked to
the nature of the management regime. This study highlights the need for incorporating new perspectives, ideas, and lessons
learned locally and across borders into management plans to ensure tiger conservation in landscapes dominated by human activities.
Given the increasing isolation of most parks due to agricultural, infrastructural, and commercial developments at the periphery,
it is imperative to conduct planning and evaluation at the landscape level, as well as incorporate multiple actors and institutions
in planning, instead of focusing solely on conservation within the PAs as is currently the case in most tiger parks. 相似文献

The Central Indian Highland landscape (CIHL) represents a complex, diverse, and highly human-modified system. Nearly half the landscape is cropland, yet it hosts 21 protected areas surrounded and connected by forests. Changing farming practices with increasing access to irrigation might alter this intensifying landscape in the near future particularly in light of weather variability. We analyzed a decade of remote sensing data for cropping patterns and climatic factors combined with census data for irrigation and demographic factors to understand winter cropping trajectories in the CIHL. We quantified ‘productive cropped area’ (PCA), defined as the area with planted crop that is green at the peak of the winter growing season. We find three primary trajectories in PCA—increasing, fluctuating, and decreasing. The most dominant trend is fluctuating PCA in two-thirds of the districts, ranging from ~2.11 million to ~3.73 million ha between 2001 and 2013, which is associated with village-level access to irrigation and local labor dynamics. In 58 % of all districts, clay soils were associated with winter cropping (p < 0.05). Increasing irrigation is associated with increased winter PCA in most (94 %) districts (p < 0.00001). We find strong negative association between PCA and land surface temperature (LST) in most (66 %) districts (p < 0.01). LST closely corresponds to daytime mean air temperature (p < 0.001) for available meteorological stations. Fine-scale meteorological and socioeconomic data, however, are needed to further disentangle impacts of these factors on PCA in this landscape. 相似文献
