CAMPOS ET AL., SCIENCE ADVANCES
When ranking certain areas of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest for their conservation importance, an international team of scientists from Brazil and Spain employed a practical approach by considering “the tradeoff between biodiversity gains and the cost of paying landowners,” for use of private lands to protect amphibians and their habitats, the authors say in their report. This smooth horned frog (Proceratophrys boiei) was among those species considered.
