In an effort to curtail the death of elephants caused by ivory poaching, about 300 tons of ivory has been destroyed since 1989. Kenya organized the first public burn of stockpiled ivory in 1989, to raise awareness and deter the trade of ivory and elephant poaching, but does destroying ivory helped or hurt efforts to protect elephants?</p> <p>A study led by Emma Gjerdseth, a postdoctoral researcher at the Yale School of the Environment, examined the causal effects of ivory destruction on elephant poaching rates in Africa and Asian countries. The paper, published in the journal <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0305750X24002365"><em>World Development</em></a>, is the first to examine the impact of ivory destruction. It found that in African countries, ivory destruction increases poaching rates with large spillover effects across the continent. In Asia, there is no evidence that elephant poaching rates respond to ivory destruction.</p> <p>“The destruction of ivory is not saving elephants in the wild,” Gjerdseth said. “While poaching incentives in the country with a destruction event are unchanged because the price effect is offset by enforcement and publicity, it leads to more elephant deaths across the continent. This can create perverse incentives for countries acting on their own to participate symbolically while other countries on the continent incur negative externalities from displaced poaching activity.”</p> <p>The study found that a destruction event in Africa increases poaching rates  by 18% across sites.</p> <p> “This research suggests that proper management of confiscated illicit materials should not involve destruction,” Gjerdseth said. “It also highlights the importance of accounting for economic incentives in wildlife conservation strategies and policies.”</p> <p style="float: right; margin-right: 2rem;"><a class="link-arrow" href="/news-in-brief/study-finds-destruction-ivory-does-not-reduce-elephant-poaching-rates">Direct Link</a><br></p> </div> </div> <div class="cell initial-12 medium-6"> <div class="news-in-brief-item-media"> <article data-view-mode="img_956x538_caption" class="media media--type-image media--view-mode-img-956x538-caption"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/16x9z35_large/public/2024-11/Ivory-tusks-AdobeStock_82759296.jpg?h=d3829b41&itok=Kd_VHRoh" width="960" height="540" alt="a bin full of ivory tusks" class="image-style-_6x9z35-large" /> </article> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="section-toggle-btn btn btn--default" aria-controls="news-in-brief-item--4384" data-button-open-text="Read more" data-button-close-text="Close" >Read more</button> </div></section> <section class="news-in-brief-item"> <div class="section-toggle" > <div id="news-in-brief-item--4381" class="section-toggle-container" data-section-toggle-content-min-height=200 style="--closed-min-height:130px;--closed-max-height:200px;--gradient-height:50%;"> <div class="section-toggle-content"> <div class="news-in-brief-item-content grid-x grid-margin-x"> <div class="cell initial-12 medium-auto"> <h3 class="news-in-brief-item__heading">Three YSE Faculty Members Named to 2024 ‘Highly Cited Researchers’ List</h3> <div class="wysiwyg news-in-brief-item__summary global-spacing global-spacing--small"> <p>Three Yale School of the Environment faculty members have been named to the world’s most influential researchers list by <a href="https://clarivate.com/highly-cited-researchers/?action=clv_hcr_members_filter&clv-paged=6&clv-category=&clv-institution=Yale%20University&clv-region=&clv-name=">Clarivate Analytics</a>, a company that compiles a list of scientists and social scientists whose papers rank in the top 1% of citations.</p> <p>Included in this year’s list are Mark Bradford, the E.H. Harriman Professor of Soils and Ecosystem Ecology; Anthony Leiserowitz, the JoshAni - TomKat Professor of Climate Communication, and director of the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication; and Karen Seto, the Frederick C. Hixon Professor of Geography and Urbanization Science. In total, 51 faculty members from Yale University made the list of 6,886 researchers worldwide who were cited by Clarivate.</p> <p>Bradford’s research is centered on the health, biology, ecology and the carbon storage potential of forest and agricultural soils. More specifically, his work develops knowledge that helps predict how environmental change and management will affect the rates of carbon stabilization and decomposition processes, and how the size of soil organic carbon stores change in space and time. </p> <p>A pioneer in the field of climate change communication, Leiserowitz’s works focuses on the public perception of climate change and environmental beliefs, attitudes, and behavior at multiple scales. Under his direction, YPCCC regularly publishes a report, <a href="https://climatecommunication.yale.edu/about/projects/climate-change-in-the-american-mind/"><em>Climate Change in the American Mind</em></a>, that investigates, tracks, and explains public climate change knowledge, risk perceptions, policy support, and behavior in the U.S.  YPCCC works with numerous partners and has researched and reported on public climate perceptions for several countries including Ireland and India. </p> <p>Seto is one of the world's leading experts on urbanization and its aggregate impacts on the planet, including climate change, biodiversity, and food systems. As a geographer and urban scientist, she integrates remote sensing and field interviews to study urbanization and land change, forecast urban growth, and the environmental consequences of urban expansion. </p> <p style="float: right; margin-right: 2rem;"><a class="link-arrow" href="/news-in-brief/three-yse-faculty-members-named-2024-highly-cited-researchers-list">Direct Link</a><br></p> </div> </div> <div class="cell initial-12 medium-6"> <div class="news-in-brief-item-info"> <div class="news-in-brief-item-info-item grid-x grid-margin-x"> <div class="cell initial-12 medium-4 medium-order-2"> <div class="news-in-brief-item-info__img"> <img src="/sites/default/files/content/images/5641/Bradford_Mark_2022a.jpg" alt="" /> </div> </div> <div class="cell initial-12 medium-auto medium-order-1"> <h4 class="news-in-brief-item-info__heading"> <a href="/directory/faculty/mark-bradford" class="link-arrow">Mark Bradford</a> </h4> <div class="news-in-brief-item-info__summary global-spacing global-spacing--2xsmall"> E.H.

Since 2023, the administration has released an annual report identifying areas where research could benefit federal decision making. At a recent White House roundtable on the second annual report<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/2024-Advancing-the-Frontiers-of-Benefit-Cost-Analaysis-Report.pdf"> "Advancing the Frontiers of Benefit Cost Analysis: Federal Priorities and Directions for Future Research,"</a> Kenneth Gillingham, professor of environmental and energy economics, discussed ways to strengthen federal benefit-cost analysis. </p> <p>"What I love about this document is that it not only points out several areas that need further research to improve benefit-cost analysis but equally importantly, it provides clear guidance to the research community and a set of suggestions for how the federal government can build connections," Gillingham said.</p> <p>Hosted by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, and Council of Economic Advisers, the roundtable brought together academic and research experts to discuss progress and consider actions to continue advancing the frontiers of BCA. </p> <p>"It provides useful guidance on how research enters into the regulatory agenda. It also provides guidance on where researchers can find out what the government needs to know," Gillingham said of the report.</p> <p>All major regulations must undergo benefit-cost analysis; the U.S. executive branch is responsible for doing these analyses for programs and regulations. Gillingham and Eli Fenichel, Knobloch Family Professor of Natural Resource Economics, played<a href="https://environment.yale.edu/news-in-brief/yse-professors-help-federal-government-account-environment-regulatory-system"> vital roles in updating</a> a White House Office of Management and Budget guide on how federal agencies calculate their regulations' benefits and costs to fully account for natural resources. </p> <p style="float: right; margin-right: 2rem;"><a class="link-arrow" href="/news-in-brief/yse-professor-participates-white-house-roundtable-federal-benefit-cost-analysis">Direct Link</a><br></p> </div> </div> <div class="cell initial-12 medium-6"> <div class="news-in-brief-item-info"> <div class="news-in-brief-item-info-item grid-x grid-margin-x"> <div class="cell initial-12 medium-4 medium-order-2"> <div class="news-in-brief-item-info__img"> <img src="/sites/default/files/content/images/5676/Gillingham_Kenneth_2022.jpg" alt="" /> </div> </div> <div class="cell initial-12 medium-auto medium-order-1"> <h4 class="news-in-brief-item-info__heading"> <a href="/directory/faculty/kenneth-gillingham" class="link-arrow">Kenneth Gillingham</a> </h4> <div class="news-in-brief-item-info__summary global-spacing global-spacing--2xsmall"> Senior Associate Dean of Academic Affairs; Professor of Environmental & Energy Economics </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="section-toggle-btn btn btn--default" aria-controls="news-in-brief-item--4317" data-button-open-text="Read more" data-button-close-text="Close" >Read more</button> </div></section> <section class="news-in-brief-item"> <div class="section-toggle" > <div id="news-in-brief-item--4246" class="section-toggle-container" data-section-toggle-content-min-height=200 style="--closed-min-height:130px;--closed-max-height:200px;--gradient-height:50%;"> <div class="section-toggle-content"> <div class="news-in-brief-item-content grid-x grid-margin-x"> <div class="cell initial-12 medium-auto"> <h3 class="news-in-brief-item__heading">Chad Oliver Honored with Barrington Moore Memorial Award</h3> <div class="wysiwyg news-in-brief-item__summary global-spacing global-spacing--small"> <p>From his groundbreaking research on the impact of disturbance on forest dynamics to the development of the Landscape Management System that allows users to simulate forest growth to his seminal work on forest stand dynamics, Chadwick D. Oliver, Pinchot Professor Emeritus at the Yale School of the Environment, has transformed the field of forestry.</p> <p>Contributions made over his more than 50-year-career have earned him the Barrington Moore Memorial Award in Biological Science from the Society of American Forestry (SAF), which recognizes outstanding achievement in biological research that led to the advance of forestry. Oliver will receive the award Sept. 19 at SAF’s national convention in Loveland, Colorado</p> <p>“Receiving the Barrington Award confirms the effectiveness of an open, cooperative approach to science that many of my colleagues and I have used with each other and with our students. That is, we make individual discoveries, but we best serve if we build on the scientific works of our predecessors, work cooperatively with our colleagues, leave increased knowledge, and open pathways for others to build on what we have learned, he said.</p> <p>Oliver, who taught at YSE for more than 20 years before retiring in 2022, authored more than 150 books, chapters, and research papers that have garnered over 12,000 citations. His conceptual model — and subsequent paper — that contended that disturbances in forests were not exceptions, but the norm and that all forests arise from and are affected by natural and human disturbances countered the prevailing view in ecology at the time and revolutionized the field of silviculture.  His 1990 book published with Bruce Larson ’78 MFS, “Forest Stand Dynamics,” which focused on how the species and arrangement of trees favored different size, shapes, and qualities, set a new framework on forest development.</p> <p>In addition to his research, Oliver worked with hundreds of mid-career professionals in dozens of countries on land management practices and testified at Congressional hearings on reducing fire risks and managing spotted owls.</p> <p>“I do not believe you could get a more deserving person for this award given Chad’s contribution to stand dynamics, his engagement with the early framework for computer generated programs for landscape management, and his broader engagement with promoting better forest policy, and management decisions particularly in the U.S. West,” said Mark Ashton, Morris K. Jesup Professor of Silviculture and Forest Ecology and director of Yale Forests who nominated Oliver.</p> <p> </p> <p style="float: right; margin-right: 2rem;"><a class="link-arrow" href="/news-in-brief/chad-oliver-honored-barrington-moore-memorial-award">Direct Link</a><br></p> </div> </div> <div class="cell initial-12 medium-6"> <div class="news-in-brief-item-media"> <article data-view-mode="img_956x538_caption" class="media media--type-image media--view-mode-img-956x538-caption"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/16x9z35_large/public/content/images/4371/Chad-Oliver-portrait.jpg?h=36c252cf&itok=CLoAmD9C" width="960" height="540" alt="Chad Oliver portrait" class="image-style-_6x9z35-large" /> <p>Chad Oliver.

The goal of the textbook-website combination is to provide an up-to-date, integrated resource for those who want to better understand the various aspects of the water crisis,” Anisfeld said.</p> <p>The new website and textbook address water supply and scarcity, water governance and allocation, tribal water rights, transboundary conflict and cooperation, and off stream and instream uses including hydropower, fishing, recreation, flood management, waste disposal, and dams. The material also examines the impact of changing technology on water resources, emerging nature-based solutions, and justice issues. As water management is often a local issue, Anisfeld also includes case studies to illustrate problems and resolutions. The website will be continually updated with the most current data..</p> <p>“Water ‘hotspots’ are manifestations of serious underlying stresses on our interconnected social–physical water systems. These stresses require sustained attention from water managers, scientists, policymakers, and the public, even after the headlines have faded. That attention, in turn, requires a shared understanding of how water systems function, the stresses they are experiencing, and the tools available to increase their resilience," Anisfeld noted in the preface of his book.</p> <p style="float: right; margin-right: 2rem;"><a class="link-arrow" href="/news-in-brief/all-things-water">Direct Link</a><br></p> </div> </div> <div class="cell initial-12
