摘要
【摘要】新冠肺炎疫情对环境保护和社会各方面都造成了严重影响。尽管已经对保护计划和行动的影响进行了预测和推测,但关于这些影响程度的数据很少。我们提供的证据来自乌干达基巴莱国家公园的一个研究现场。我们的分析表明,关于COVID-19负面保护影响的许多担忧都得到了证实。长期研究项目中断,影响了园区内的就业机会。这些影响渗透到当地社区,当地社区报告了高水平的经济压力和其他负面影响,例如少女怀孕率上升。长期受雇于该公园的员工报告称,他们的财务压力水平较低。另外特别令人担忧的是,由于缺乏粮食安全,公园内偷猎活动有所增加。这项研究强调了面对全球危机时研究站恢复能力的重要途径,但它需要资助机构和政府改变资助期限和范围。与生态旅游不同,实地研究站的运作方式为建立具有弹性的保护工具提供了独特的机会,本研究的结果可以帮助指导政策,使实地研究站更具弹性。与社会各个方面一样, 自然保护也受到了新冠肺炎疫情的严重影响。尽管我们已经预测和猜想了疫情对自然保护计划和行动的影响, 但很少有影响程度的数据。齐伯里,齐伯里。分析表明, 对新冠肺炎负面影响自然保护的许多担忧, 都得到了证实。长期研究项目被打乱, 进而影响了公园的就业机会。这些影响渗透到当地社区。据报道, 这些社区面临着很大的经济压力和其它负面影响(例如, 青少年的怀孕率上升)。公园永久工作人员的经济压力较低。特别令人担忧的是, 由于缺乏粮食保障, 公园偷猎行为有所增加。本研究强调了野外研究站应对全球危机的重要韧性措施, 但这需要资助机构和政府修改资助时间和研究范围。与生态旅游不同, 野外研究站为建立韧性的自然保护措施提供了独特机会。研究结果有助于指导政策、使野外研究站更具有韧性。La conservación, como todos los dimensions de La sociad, se vio多个影响因素,以预防COVID-19大流行。我们的研究结果表明,我们的研究结果是:我们的预测结果是:我们的预测结果是:我们的预测结果是:我们的预测结果是:我们的预测结果是:我们的预测结果是:我们的预测结果是:我们的预测结果是:Nuestra contribución a la evidence provene de unsittio de investigación de campo localizado en el Parque national de Kibale, en乌干达。fueron证实,Nuestro análisis对COVID-19的负面影响的研究结果如下conservación。investigación项目是一个大型的广场,它可以看到负面的影响,可以显示出事件的发生率,也可以为员工提供机会。Estos的影响包括:对社区和地区的过滤、对社区和地区的报告、对社区和地区的财务影响、对社区和地区的负面影响、对社区和地区的经济影响的增加、对青少年的经济影响的增加。关于雇员的永久不稳定的问题,请在下述情况下解决:declaró niveles más财务问题。tamamiman,特别是在食品安全问题上,特别是在食品安全问题上,特别是在食品安全问题上。斯塔investigacion destaca una太阳之重要hacia la resiliencia de las estaciones de investigacion前面las危机全球,佩罗requiere: en la duracion y alcance de la financiacion运动组成部分de las通讯社的记者,la conceden y洛“。通过建立不同的生态旅游管理系统,建立investigación城市发展机会系统únicas建立复原工具系统conservación,建立一个结果系统investigación建立一个数据系统políticas建立一个数据系统investigación城市发展系统más复原力系统。关键词:生物多样性保护新冠肺炎影响Kibale国家公园野外研究站空间社交网络Palabras劈开:conservacion de la biodiversidadestacion de investigacion de campoimpactos del COVID-19Parque Nacional de Kibaleredes优势种espacialesKey词:生物多样性conservationCOVID-19 impactsKibale国家Parkresearch stationspatial AcknowledgmentsThis社交网络研究领域就没有不可能的帮助乌干达Makerere大学野生动物权威和生物领域。非常感谢我们的研究助理Jimmy Ogwang进行采访。本研究由卡尔顿大学研究伦理委员会a (CUREB-A)评估。协议# 115661。披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。在本研究过程中,通讯作者得到了加拿大社会科学与人文研究理事会、爱尔兰卫生研究委员会和卡尔顿大学研究成就奖的资助。作者简介迪普托·萨卡尔,加拿大渥太华K1S 5B6卡尔顿大学地理与环境研究系助理教授。电子邮件:dipto.sarkar@carleton.ca。他的研究重点是开发空间分析方法,以模拟保护计划的有效性及其对公园附近社区的影响。Jan F.

Impacts of COVID-19 on Biodiversity Conservation and Community Networks at Kibale National Park, Uganda
AbstractConservation, like all aspects of society, was severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although there have been projections and speculations about impacts on conservation plans and actions, data about the extent of these impacts are sparse. We contribute evidence from a research field site in Kibale National Park, Uganda. Our analysis shows that many of the fears concerning the negative conservation impacts of COVID-19 were borne out. Long-term research projects were disrupted, affecting employment opportunities in the park. These effects percolated into the local communities, which reported high levels of financial stress and other negative impacts, such as increased rates of teenage pregnancy. People who were permanently employed at the park reported lower levels of financial stress. Also particularly concerning was the increase in poaching in the park due to a lack of food security. This research highlights an important path toward resiliency for research stations in the face of global crises, but it requires changes in funding duration and scope from granting agencies and governments. Operating differently than ecotourism, research field stations provide unique opportunities to build resilient conservation instruments and the results of this research can help guide policies to make research field stations more resilient.与社会各个方面一样, 自然保护也受到了新冠肺炎疫情的严重影响。尽管我们已经预测和猜想了疫情对自然保护计划和行动的影响, 但很少有影响程度的数据。本文提供了乌干达Kibale国家公园野外研究站的证据。分析表明, 对新冠肺炎负面影响自然保护的许多担忧, 都得到了证实。长期研究项目被打乱, 进而影响了公园的就业机会。这些影响渗透到当地社区。据报道, 这些社区面临着很大的经济压力和其它负面影响(例如, 青少年的怀孕率上升)。公园永久工作人员的经济压力较低。特别令人担忧的是, 由于缺乏粮食保障, 公园偷猎行为有所增加。本研究强调了野外研究站应对全球危机的重要韧性措施, 但这需要资助机构和政府修改资助时间和研究范围。与生态旅游不同, 野外研究站为建立韧性的自然保护措施提供了独特机会。研究结果有助于指导政策、使野外研究站更具有韧性。La conservación, como todos los aspectos de la sociedad, se vio severamente afectada por la pandemia del COVID-19.
