Climate change needs considering in seven areas of restoration design/implementation.

These range from objective setting through to monitoring and adaptive management.

Evidence is scant for climate change resilient restoration in practice.

Our framework can help structure a more climate change resilient restoration approach.

Forest regeneration is frequent on steeper slopes (>10%) formerly used for cattle ranching.

Forest regeneration is frequent closer to older forest patches and permanent rivers.

Biophysical factors as slope and altitude affect farmer’s decisions on land abandonment.

Forest regeneration is inversely related to the economic dependence on farm’s income.

Fluctuating market demands can encourage deforestation or land abandonment.

We determined how soundscape complexity and ecological integrity are related.

Acoustically richer soundscapes were linked to higher ecological integrity.

Relationship between acoustic complexity and integrity was influenced by daily variation.

Acoustic complexity serves as an indicator of the ecosystem health.

Soundscape analysis is a feasible approach for monitoring and conservation of the landscape.

Private reserves preserve the environmental heterogeneity found in the PEC.

Mammals, in general, are the least studied vertebrate groups in the PEC.

The western region of the PEC presents the highest sampling relevance of vertebrates.

Sites with the highest sampling relevance are most threatened by fragmentation.

Domestic cats (Felis silvestris catus) and dogs (Canis lupus familiaris), affect birdlife in various ways, including predation.

Besides direct predation, birds caught by cats and dogs after collisions with windows represents an unexplored human cause of avian mortality.

Bird-window collisions should be incorporated into the assessment of bird predation by cats and dogs.

Minimizing the number of cats and dogs per household and the time spent outdoors would help reduce avian mortality.

Brazilian Merganser has few suitable areas remaining for its three populations.

Several small hydroelectric plants are planned in areas where the species inhabits.

A high amount of suitable area used by the species is not within Protected Areas.

A fifth of the suitable areas are covered by anthropogenic land use, mainly pasture.

Brazilian Merganser situation is critical, calling for urgent conservation actions.

Scientific interest is necessary but insufficient when determining protected areas.

French procedures for creating protected areas show various land-use conflicts.

A clear understanding of implementation decisions is necessary to reach conservation goals.

Local authorities can constitute a proxy to seize conservation opportunities.

Social sciences and interdisciplinary research are necessary for resolving conservation issues.

The palm species of the South Brazilian grasslands are at risk.

In this region, climate and land-use changes increase threats to palm species.

The synergistic effects of these threats increase the risk of extinction of species.

With no future dispersal, palm species are likely to face a drastic range reduction.

Current protected areas in the region are not sufficient to protect palm species.

Direct/indirect sample methods combined gave best occupancy/detection estimates.

Detection probability was high and positively related with macrophyte coverage.

Final occupancy estimate can be baseline to Purus River long-term monitoring studies.

Hierarchical model potential to know aquatic mammals distribution.

Our data support the selection of priority areas for the species’ conservation.

Most tree ferns will lose suitable areas due to climate change.

Dicksonia sellowiana Hook. may become more threatened as a result of constraints in its distribution.

In all scenarios, subtropical tree ferns assemblages in the Atlantic Forest will become less rich.

Neglecting the uncertainties arising from the choice of global circulation models can lead to inaccurate conclusions.
