“…Increasingly, both government and nongovernment organizations spend resources outside their country of origin, reflecting an internationalization of conservation efforts (1,4). However, collaboration across countries can be costly, complicated, and often requires additional logistics and resources as compared to local programs.…”

The importance of global and regional coordination in conservation is growing, although currently, the majority of conservation programs are applied at national and subnational scales. Nevertheless, multinational programs incur transaction costs and resources beyond what is required in national programs. Given the need to maximize returns on investment within limited conservation budgets, it is crucial to quantify how much more biodiversity can be protected by coordinating multinational conservation efforts when resources are fungible. Previous studies that compared different scales of conservation decision-making mostly ignored spatial variability in biodiversity threats and the cost of actions. Here, we developed a simple integrating metric, taking into account both the cost of conservation and threats to biodiversity. We examined the Mediterranean Basin biodiversity hotspot, which encompasses over 20 countries. We discovered that for vertebrates to achieve similar conservation benefits, one would need substantially more money and area if each country were to act independently as compared to fully coordinated action across the Basin. A fully coordinated conservation plan is expected to save approximately US$67 billion, 45% of total cost, compared with the uncoordinated plan; and if implemented over a 10-year period, the plan would cost Ϸ0.1% of the gross national income of all European Union (EU) countries annually. The initiative declared in the recent Paris Summit for the Mediterranean provides a political basis for such complex coordination. Surprisingly, because many conservation priority areas selected are located in EU countries, a partly coordinated solution incorporating only EU-Mediterranean countries is almost as efficient as the fully coordinated scenario. biodiversity costs ͉ complementarity ͉ vertebrates

“…With declining public funding to support nature conservation, building continuous commitment to nature through volunteering is key to addressing a range of societal environmental priorities such as enhancing biodiversity and building sustainable communities (e.g., Anheier and Salomon 1999;Rodriguez et al 2007;Wearing and McGehee 2013). Numerous studies have explored volunteering from a tourism perspective (Callanan and Thomas 2005;Raymond and Hall 2008;Soderman and Snead 2008;Wickens 2011), and yet the majority focused predominantly on the values of the volunteer and how these values translate into motives (e.g., Brown and Lehto 2005;Campbell & Smith 2006;Wearing 2001).…”

Volunteer travel opportunities are more plentiful than ever and are now offered worldwide, with conservation projects being an increasingly popular choice. Some of the emerging questions in this field are concerned with the effective communication of these opportunities to young people. One theory that could guide the creation of these persuasive campaigns for conservation volunteering is regulatory focus theory. By adopting this theory, we reveal yet another possibility for understanding motivations of conservation volunteers. Results of the experiment suggest promotion messages are better received (more persuasive) because they induce expectations in line with general view of conservation volunteering as a hedonic experience. Moreover, this study is the first one of its kind to show this important effect of environmental attitudes on individuals' responses to promotional messages about conservation volunteering travel.Résumé Les occasions de voyage bénévole sont plus nombreuses que jamais et désormais offertes partout dans le monde, les projets de conservation en constituant un choix de plus en plus populaire. Dans ce domaine, des questions émergentes portent sur la communication efficace de ces occasions aux jeunes. Une des théories qui pourraient orienter la création de ces campagnes de persuasion pour le bénévolat dans le domaine de la conservation est la théorie à focalisation réglementaire. En l'adoptant, nous pouvons mieux comprendre les motivations des bénévoles oeuvrant dans le domaine de la conservation.

“…El rol de las ONG ambientalistas ha sido bien documentado en el establecimiento de la agenda de conservación internacional (Rodriguez et al 2007), mostrando que tales organizaciones han desarrollado notables dispositivos científico-políticos para establecer las prioridades de conservación (e.g., Biodiversity Hot Spot, Global 200 Ecoregions y otros mapas de conservación que compiten unos con otros).…”

“…Por ejemplo, Conservation International ha desplegado a través de la identificación de los "hot spots" una enorme campaña de financiamiento, que aumentó desde US $ 27,8 millones en 1998 a US $ 89,3 millones en 2004. Por otra parte, World Wildlife Fund, anclada en Estados Unidos, y su programa de "Ecoregions", acompañó un incremento en sus fondos para conservación de US $ 80 millones a US $ 121,7 millones entre 1997 y el año 2005 (Rodriguez et al 2007). Hoy en día la presencia de las grandes ONG ambientalistas es a escala planetaria.…”
