Conservation and concealment in SpeciesBanking.com, USA: an analysis of neoliberal performance in the species offsetting industry
Market-based strategies are promoted as neoliberal
governance solutions to environmental problems, from
local to global scales. Tradable mitigation schemes
are proliferating. These include species banking, which
enables payments for the purchase of species credits
awarded to conserved areas to offset development
impacts on protected species elsewhere. An analysis of
species banks in the USA through a survey of data from
the website www.SpeciesBanking.com (established as
a ‘clearing house’ for species banking information)
was complemented by questionnaire material from
USA bank managers. The number of USA species
banks has increased rapidly, bank area ownership
and management is consolidated in a small number
of organizations, and public information on species
credit price is limited. In interrogating the case
material, the roles of specific economic policies
associated with neoliberalism are considered, focusing
on the extension of privatization, de- and re-regulation
and marketization into the arena of environmental
conservation, and commodification processes as
manifested in species banking. Problematic ecological
and distributive ‘concealments’ in species banking
include the ‘development-led’ nature of conservation
banking, tendencies towards net biodiversity loss,
and an emphasis on supporting conservation-related
wealth accumulation by larger landowners and
investors

Recommendations for the use of common outcome measures in pediatric traumatic brain injury research
This article addresses the need for age-relevant outcome measures for traumatic brain injury (TBI) research and summarizes the recommendations by the inter-agency Pediatric TBI Outcomes Workgroup. The Pediatric Workgroup\u27s recommendations address primary clinical research objectives including characterizing course of recovery from TBI, prediction of later outcome, measurement of treatment effects, and comparison of outcomes across studies. Consistent with other Common Data Elements (CDE) Workgroups, the Pediatric TBI Outcomes Workgroup adopted the standard three-tier system in its selection of measures. In the first tier, core measures included valid, robust, and widely applicable outcome measures with proven utility in pediatric TBI from each identified domain including academics, adaptive and daily living skills, family and environment, global outcome, health-related quality of life, infant and toddler measures, language and communication, neuropsychological impairment, physical functioning, psychiatric and psychological functioning, recovery of consciousness, social role participation and social competence, social cognition, and TBI-related symptoms. In the second tier, supplemental measures were recommended for consideration in TBI research focusing on specific topics or populations. In the third tier, emerging measures included important instruments currently under development, in the process of validation, or nearing the point of published findings that have significant potential to be superior to measures in the core and supplemental lists and may eventually replace them as evidence for their utility emerges
