Live deployments demonstrated the dog’s capacity to detect aged campsites, rest areas and active snares under operational conditions, while also revealing practical constraints around logistics, ranger integration and handler–team coordination. This study provides the first field-based performance benchmark for an operational counter-poaching dog unit in a tropical South-East Asian forest, offering protected area managers an evidence base to guide investment and deployment decisions, and a replicable three-component evaluation framework applicable to other canine programmes.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fcosc.2026.1869216 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fcosc.2026.1869216 <![CDATA[Coexistence in rivers of hunger: Human–otter relations and “Shamans of the Waters” in an Amazonian socioecological system]]> 2026-07-17T00:00:00Z Original Research Natalia Camps PimentaValêncio Walipere MacedoJansen ZuanonHani El BizriThais Q.
