What is the Price of Conservation? A Review of the Status Quo and Recommendations for Improving Cost Reporting
(BioScience, 2022)Wildlife conservation is severely limited by funding. Therefore, to maximize biodiversity outcomes, assessing financial costs of interventions is as important as assessing effectiveness. We reviewed the reporting of costs ... -
When two movements collide: Learning from labour and environmental struggles for future Just Transitions
(Futures, 2022)The term ‘Just Transition’ (JT) emerged from the 1970s North American labour movement to become a campaign for a planned energy transition that includes justice and fairness for workers. There is diversity in the JT ... -
When we cannot have it all: Ecosystem services trade-offs in the context of spatial planning
