Protocol 9.1.9: A Strategic Framework for Vertebrate Population Reinforcement in Fragmented Habitats 9.1.9 More Animals
Declining vertebrate populations due to anthropogenic habitat fragmentation necessitate scalable, replicable intervention protocols. This paper introduces “9.1.9 More Animals,” a three-tiered framework (9 habitat patches, 1 connectivity corridor, 9 target species) designed to increase local faunal density and diversity by a minimum of 40% over 18 months. Using a mixed-methods approach combining GIS-based habitat selection, mark-recapture, and acoustic monitoring, we tested 9.1.9 in a 300-hectare mixed-use landscape. Results show a 52% increase in small mammal abundance and a 37% rise in avian species richness. The protocol offers a standardized metric for “more animals” as a verifiable conservation outcome. paper@conservationmodel
