Interesting, in case you missed it in Science a couple weeks ago: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/endangered-species-scientists-urged-not-publish-location-poachers-find-hunt-kill-animals-chinese-a7763156.html
“Our research permits demand that location records be uploaded to open-access government wildlife atlases. Soon after uploading records, people seeking the rare worm-lizard were caught trespassing, upsetting farmers, damaging important rocky outcrop habitats, and jeopardising scientist-farmer relationships that have taken years to establish. The scientists have called on others to follow the lead of publications such as Zootaxa, which will publish taxonomic descriptions of new species but without any location information." Mongabay published a nice interview about this issue a few years ago: https://news.mongabay.com/2011/12/the-dark-side-of-new-species-discovery/ ...good to see some scientists making more noise about this.
