Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The only way to connect the major wildernesses of the world and save their inhabitants is to think big - very big. The vision of the research project discussed in this article is to build vast corridors between existing protected areas. Land is being purchased outright wherever possible and deals are being made with landowners that impose conservation restrictions. Where these approaches aren't possible, the group are working with local people to promote wildlife conservation. Conservationists have long recognised the value of corridors connecting wilderness areas, and mounting evidence shows that they help many species, from red squirrels to butterflies, and megacorridors take the idea to a new scale. This article gives examples of megacorridor regions in the USA and Canada; Australia; Spain, France and Italy; and Nepal and India.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
