write a peer-review of a colleague’s paper.
Other's opinions can provide a new perspective and allow me to look at the paper through a different lens. Really curious about what new perspective peer review can provide me.

. You should explore how or whatConservation Biologists are doing or should do to improve the situation, and what Policyframeworks can be used.
Can we include all these aspects or it is better to focus on one?
explore how or whatConservation Biologists are doing
Should we also evaluate their effectiveness? Or to do a literature review-ish paper..?
Land-Use Change
How to balance the use for humans and for conservation biology? Can these agendas be integrated into one piece of land (supports both the ecosystem and human activities)?
the ways that scientists and policy-makers are tryingto fix it
A comprehensive approach is very essential since merely focusing on one aspect (e.g.: socio-political, economic, or environmental fields), may result in drawbacks in other aspects (such as oil palm planting in Borneo is quite profitable yet this also causes deforestation of forests).
By taking into account different stakeholders(like how Kiitchen mentioned) (such as local citizens, scientists, government, etc.) and various fields, the sustainability and feasibility of conservation biology can be further enhanced.
vulnerabilities and conservation
How do the means to evaluate a species' vulnerabilities affect biology conservation and the ecosystem? To be more specific, does some species that are actually in need of conservation neglected during the evaluation of the vulnerability? Do flagship or umbrella species have more "priority" in conservation (are lemurs more prone to be conserved than Madagascan cockroaches even though they may have similar needs to be conserved)? How to design comprehensive criteria for conservation?
species richness and distributio
This reminds me of resilience, which refers to the tendency of a system to avoid tipping points and maintain stability through steady-state equilibrium. Resilience and biodiversity both contribute to the survival of an ecosystem, and I am eager to know more about the specific influence of those two factors and examples of them in reality!
damage to the environment
I am anticipating learning how to evaluate from both macroscopic and microscopic views regarding human impacts on Biology conservation!
