Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Species conservation and land use planning are generally considered to be essential for sustainability, yet this is not necessarily the case. When crisis-driven or lacking suitable connections across disciplines, space and time, they can impede collaboration: Conservationists may unknowingly work against each other. Drawing from years of experience working for conservation in a large metropolitan area, discussion in this paper includes reflections on a variety of themes: landscape changes across centuries, the importance of natural cover, disciplinary silos and other factors. Examples of species conservation and land planning in Central Ontario, and some of the programs from the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), are used to illustrate how connections across disciplines, space and time, are a key factor in the shift toward sustainability. De maniere generale, on considere que la conservation des especes et l’amenagement territorial sont essentiels a la durabilite environnementale; et pourtant ce n’est pas necessairement le cas. Lorsque les mesures servent a reagir a une situation de crise ou d’urgence ou lorsqu’il n’y a pas d’interactions ou de connexions spatiales ou temporelles, ou encore entre les disciplines, cela peut nuire a la collaboration, car en effet, les conservationnistes peuvent sans le savoir travailler a l’encontre les uns des autres. En se fondant sur des annees d’experience de travail de conservation dans une grande region metropolitaine, l’analyse presentee dans cet article propose une reflexion sur une vaste gamme de themes : les modifications apportees au paysage au cours des siecles, l’importance du couvert naturel, les silos hierarchiques dans les diverses disciplines, et autres facteurs. On se sert de modeles de conservation des especes et d’amenagement des terres dans le centre de l’Ontario ainsi que de certains des programmes de la Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) pour illustrer comment les interactions spatiales, temporelles ou entre les disciplines, constituent des elements cles du virage vers la durabilite environnementale.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
