    Sea turtles swim easier as poaching declines

    Poaching is less of a threat to the survival of sea turtles than it once was, a new analysis suggests1. Illegal sea-turtle catch has dropped sharply since 2000, with most of the current exploitation occurring in areas where turtle populations are relatively healthy.This study is the first worldwide estimate of the number of adult sea turtles moved on the black market. According to the analysis, more than one million sea turtles were illegally harvested between 1990 and 2020. But the researchers also found that the illegal catch from 2010 to 2020 was nearly 30% lower than that in the previous decade.“The silver lining is that, despite the seemingly large illegal take, exploitation is not having a negative impact on sea-turtle populations on a global scale. This is really good news,” says co-author Jesse Senko, a marine conservation scientist at Arizona State University in Tempe. The research was published 7 September in Global Change Biology.Turtles for trinketsFor millennia, humans have used both adult sea turtles and their eggs as a food source and for cultural practices. In the past 200 years, however, many sea turtle populations declined steeply as hunting rose to meet a growing demand for turtle-based goods. In Europe, North America and Asia, sea-turtle shells were used to make combs, jewelry and furniture inlays. Turtles were also hunted for meat and for use in traditional medicine.The rise in turtle hunting meant that, by 2014, an estimated 42,000 sea turtles were legally harvested every year, and an unknown number of sea turtles were sold on the black market. Today, six of the seven sea-turtle species found around the globe are endangered owing to a deadly combination of habitat destruction, poaching and accidental entanglement in fishing gear.To pin down how many sea turtles were illegally harvested, Senko and his colleagues surveyed sea-turtle specialists and sifted through 150 documents, including reports from non-governmental organizations, papers in peer-reviewed journals and news articles.

    By combining this information, the researchers made a conservative estimate that around 1.1 million sea turtles were illegally caught between 1990 and 2020. Nearly 90% of these turtles were funneled into China and Japan, largely from a handful of middle- and low-income countries (see ‘Long-distance turtle transport’). Of the species that could be identified, the most frequently exploited were the endangered green turtles (Chelonia mydas), hunted for meat, and the critically endangered hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata), prized for their beautiful shells.However, the data also showed that the number of illegally caught turtles decreased from around 61,000 each year between the start of 2000 and the end of 2009 to around 44,000 in the past decade (see ‘More sea turtles swim free’). And, although there were exceptions, most sea turtles were taken from relatively robust populations that were both large and genetically diverse.

    Although sea turtles seem to be doing well globally, this doesn’t mean that threats to regional populations can be ignored, says Emily Miller, an ecologist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in California. The study pins down where — and for whom — sea turtles are being exploited, which could help conservationists to target communities for advocacy, she says.Overall, the numbers signal that conservation efforts could be working, says Senko. “Contrary to popular belief, most sea-turtle populations worldwide are doing quite well,” he says. “The number of turtles being exploited is a shocker, but the ocean is big, and there are a lot of turtles out there.” More

    Evaluation of ecological quality in southeast Chongqing based on modified remote sensing ecological index

    Study areaSoutheastern Chongqing, China (107° 14′–109° 19′ E, 28° 9′–30° 32′ N), has an area of about 19,800 km2 (Fig. 1). The study area has a subtropical monsoon climate. And the area has four distinct seasons, with an annual average temperature of 16.2 °C and abundant rainfall, with an average annual rainfall of 1209 mm. This region is located in the central part of the Wuling mountains, which is characterized by medium and low mountainous landforms, with an average altitude of greater than 1000 m. The water system (the Wujiang River system) in the study area is well developed, with a large drainage area and rich groundwater resources. The soil is dominated by yellow soil and limestone soil, and the sensitivity to soil erosion is high. The district exhibits the typical ecological fragility of karst areas, with barren soil, fragmented surfaces, a single community, and a low ecological carrying capacity. The area includes six counties: Qianjiang district, Shizhu Tujia Autonomous county, Xiushan Tujia and Miao Autonomous county, Youyang Tujia and Miao Autonomous county, Wulong district, and Pengshui Miao and Tujia Autonomous county. The coverage rates of the carbonatite layers in these counties are 42.11, 67.77, 25.70, 34.80, 59.70 and 88.46%, respectively38, and the average coverage of the carbonatite layers is 53.09%, making this a representative area of karst rocky desertification.Data and image pre-processingIn the study, the remote sensing data were obtained from the United States Geological Survey (USGS, https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/), including landsat-5 thematic mapper (TM) images acquired in 2001, 2006 and 2011 and Landsat-8 operational land imager (OLI) images obtained in 2016 and 2021 (Table 1). The spatial resolution is 30 m. In order to ensure the comparability of spectral characteristics, the data collection was conducted from May to September when the vegetation grew better. In order to meet the usage requirements, the cloud cover of each image used is below 10%. For the images with poor quality, the adjacent years were selected for replacement. The difference in ecological quality between adjacent years in the same region was not particularly large. In order to represent the actual situation of the ecological environment quality in the target year as much as possible, we tried to minimize the replaced part in each target year. A total of 20 images were collected in this study. The images downloaded were all L1T products, which had undergone systematic radiometric correction and geometric correction, so precise geometric correction was no longer performed. Before the subsequent processing, all 20 images were preprocessed by radiometric calibration, atmospheric correction, image mosaicking and cropping. Then these images were calculated to obtain NDVI, WET, NDBSI, LST and RI. And based on the preprocessed Landsat images, support vector machine classification was performed to obtain the land use (LU) status.Table 1 Information of images used in this study.Full size tableThe topographical data included the elevation (EV) and slope (SP) data. Among them, the elevation data was provided by the official website of the United States Geological Survey (USGS, https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/). And the slope data was calculated from the elevation data. The meteorological data, including the monthly average temperature (MT), monthly mean precipitation (PR), monthly even relative humidity (RH), and monthly total sunshine hours (SH) from May to September of the target year, were got from the China Meteorological Data Network (http://data.cma.cn/). In addition, socioeconomic data, including the population density (PD) and gross domestic product (GDP), were obtained from the statistical yearbooks of each district and county in the study area. The nighttime light (NTL) data were obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA, https://www.noaa.gov/). The above data and LU were used as the influencing factors of ecological quality to analyze the reasons for the change of local ecological environment quality. The statistical data and monitoring data of each evaluation index used to construct the EI come from the statistical yearbooks, water resources bulletin and soil and water conservation bulletin of each district and county.MethodologyStudy frameworkA framework was developed for evaluating the ecological quality in southeastern Chongqing from 2001 to 2021 in the study. And the framework included three parts: data preparation, construction of the MRSEI, and the analysis of the ecological status in the region. Figure 2 presents the detailed information about the framework. The operations of band calculation, normalization and PCA were all carried out using the ENVI 5.3 software (https://www.harrisgeospatial.com).Figure 2The study framework.Full size imageIndicators used in MRSEIThe greenness, humidity, heat, dryness, and degree of rocky desertification were used to construct the MRSEI. The NDVI39 was chosen to characterize the greenness. The humidity component acquired from the tasseled cap transformation (WET)40 was selected to represent the humidity. The LST41 was used to represent the heat, the normalized difference build-up soil index (NDBSI)42 was used to characterize the dryness. The RI was applied to characterize the degree of rocky desertification.The NDVI is an important indicator for monitoring the physical and chemical properties of vegetation, and it can be employed to calculate the vegetation coverage, leaf area index, and so on19. In addition, it eliminates some radiation errors and has a stronger response to surface vegetation. It has been widely used in vegetation remote sensing monitoring. The equation for calculating the NDVI is as follows39:$$ {text{NDVI}} = {{(uprho }}_{{{text{NIR}}}} – {uprho }_{{{text{Red}}}} {)}/{{(uprho }}_{{{text{NIR}}}} {{ + uprho }}_{{{text{Red}}}} ), $$
    (1)
    where ({uprho }_{{{text{NIR}}}}) is the reflectance of the near-infrared band and ({uprho }_{{{text{Red}}}}) refers to the reflectance of the red band corresponding to each image.The WET can effectively reflect the humidity conditions of the surface vegetation, water, and soil, and can reveal the changes in the ecological environment, such as soil degradation. Therefore, it is commonly used in ecological environment monitoring43. The WET can be expressed as40,43:$$ {text{WET}}_{{{text{TM}}}} { = 0}{{.3102uprho }}_{{{text{Red}}}} { + 0}{{.2021uprho }}_{{{text{Green}}}} { + 0}{{.0315uprho }}_{{{text{Blue}}}} { + 0}{{.1594uprho }}_{{{text{NIR}}}} – {0}{{.6806uprho }}_{{{text{SWIR1}}}} – {0}{{.6109uprho }}_{{{text{SWIR2}}}} , $$
    (2)
    $$ {text{WET}}_{{{text{OLI}}}} { = 0}{{.3283uprho }}_{{{text{Red}}}} { + 0}{{.1972uprho }}_{{{text{Green}}}} { + 0}{{.1511uprho }}_{{{text{Blue}}}} { + 0}{{.3407uprho }}_{{{text{NIR}}}} – {0}{{.7117uprho }}_{{{text{SWIR1}}}} – {0}{{.4559uprho }}_{{{text{SWIR2}}}} , $$
    (3)
    where ({uprho }_{{text{i}}} ,) is the reflectance of band i.The NDBSI is expressed as the average of two indicators, the bare soil index (SI)44 and the index-based built-up index (IBI)45. It can be applied to characterize the dryness. The calculation formulas are44,45:$$ {text{IBI }} = {text{ }}left[ {2uprho _{{{text{SWIR1}}}} /left( {uprho _{{{text{SWIR1}}}} + {text{ }}uprho _{{{text{NIR}}}} } right) – uprho _{{{text{NIR}}}} /(uprho _{{{text{NIR}}}} + {text{ }}uprho _{{{text{Red}}}} } right) – uprho _{{{text{Green}}}} /(uprho _{{{text{Green}}}} + {text{ }}uprho _{{{text{SWIR1}}}} )]/[2uprho _{{{text{SWIR1}}}} /left( {uprho _{{{text{SWIR1}}}} + {text{ }}uprho _{{{text{NIR}}}} } right) + {text{ }}uprho _{{{text{NIR}}}} /(uprho _{{{text{NIR}}}} + {text{ }}uprho _{{{text{Red}}}} ) + {text{ }}uprho _{{{text{Green}}}} /(uprho _{{{text{Green}}}} + {text{ }}uprho _{{{text{SWIR1}}}} )], $$
    (4)
    $$ {text{SI = }}left[ {{uprho }_{{{text{SWIR1}}}} {{ + uprho }}_{{{text{red}}}} – left( {{uprho }_{{{text{Blue}}}} {{ + uprho }}_{{{text{NIR}}}} } right)} right]/left[ {{uprho }_{{{text{SWIR1}}}} {{ + uprho }}_{{{text{red}}}} { + }left( {{uprho }_{{{text{Blue}}}} {{ + uprho }}_{{{text{NIR}}}} } right)} right], $$
    (5)
    $$ {text{NDBSI = (IBI + SI)/2,}} $$
    (6)
    where ({uprho }_{{text{i}}} ,) is the reflectance of band i.The LST is closely related to natural processes and human phenomena such as crop yield, vegetation growth and distribution, surface water cycle, etc. It can well reflect the state of the surface ecological environment. The atmospheric correction method is used to invert the LST here46,47, it can be expressed as:$$ {text{L = gain}} times {text{DN + bias,}} $$
    (7)
    $$ {text{T = K}}_{{2}} /{text{ln}}left( {frac{{{text{K}}_{{1}} }}{{text{L}}}{ + 1}} right){,} $$
    (8)
    $$ {text{LST = T}}/left[ {{1 + }left( {frac{{{lambda T}}}{{upalpha }}} right){{lnvarepsilon }}} right]{,} $$
    (9)
    where L is the radiation value in the thermal infrared band, DN is the gray value, gain and bias is the gain value and offset value of the L-band, which was got from the image header file. And T is the temperature value at the sensor; K1 and K2 are calibration parameters respectively (for TM, K1 = 607.76 W/(m2 sr μm), K2 = 1260.56 K; for TIRS, K1 = 774.89 W/(m2 sr μm), K2 = 1321.08 K); λ is the central wavelength of thermal infrared band; α = 1.438 × 10−2 m K. ε is the surface emissivity and the value is estimated by the vegetation index mixture model48,49. It is calculated as follows:$$ {text{VFC = }}frac{{{text{NDVI}} – {text{NDVI}}_{{{text{Soil}}}} }}{{{text{NDVI}}_{{{text{Veg}}}} – {text{NDVI}}_{{{text{Soil}}}} }}, $$
    (10)
    $$ {text{d}}_{{upvarepsilon }} { = }left( {{1} – {upvarepsilon }_{{text{s}}} } right){{ times (1}} – {text{VFC) }}times text{F} times upvarepsilon _{{text{v}}} , $$
    (11)
    $$ {{upvarepsilon = upvarepsilon }}_{{text{v}}} times {text{ VFC}} + varepsilon _{{text{s}}} {{ times }}left( {{1} – {text{FVC}}} right){text{ + d}}_{{upvarepsilon }} , $$
    (12)
    where VFC is the vegetation fractional cover, ({text{NDVI}}_{{{text{Veg}}}}) is the NDVI of the pixel covered by full vegetation and the pixels with NDVI  > 0.72 are regarded as pure vegetation pixels; ({text{NDVI}}_{{{text{Soil}}}}) is the NDVI of the bare pixel and the pixels with NDVI  More
