Abstract: Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a fundamental characteristic of eco-friendly buildings and sustainable environments, significantly impacting the well-being and behavior of occupants. Even in low-occupancy residences, maintaining good IAQ is essential for health and comfort. Buildings must meet both regulatory standards and occupant satisfaction to ensure a healthy indoor environment. Regardless of external conditions, people... More

Abstract: The Brazilian Cerrado, characterized by grasslands, savannahs and riverine forests, is a biodiversity hotspot, threatened by the expansion of the agricultural frontier, and therefore, needs effective conservation actions. At the national level, the Cerrado core-region has received more conservation efforts than the marginal (non-core) areas, being considered more biodiverse. However, many marginal areas are also...

Abstract: Achieving Target 3 of the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework requires expanding effective area-based conservation beyond formally designated protected areas. Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs) have emerged as a mechanism for recognising durable conservation outcomes in landscapes governed outside protected area systems. This study examines community readiness for potential OECM recognition across two contrasting social–ecological... More
