Zoom ID: 312 430 8960, Passcode: 666666 Discussion summary Habitat loss and unsustainable exploitation are two of the primary threats to wildlife – alleviating their impacts requires coordinating local actions with global strategies. Here I describe how hunting affects species and ecosystems in Earth’s most biodiverse ecosystems, tropical forests, and how emerging techniques can help ensure harvest sustainability. I also address challenges to recent global efforts to increase protected area coverage and landscape connectivity and discuss how these strategies, if used well, can both mitigate habitat loss and enhance climate resilience.
