Advancing protected area effectiveness assessments by disentangling social-ecological interactions: A case study from the Luangwa Valley, Zambia
(Conservation Science and Practice, 2023-08-01)Protected and conserved areas (PCAs) target at biodiversity conservation and human well-being, but often reflect low levels of effectiveness. Understanding PCAs social-ecological systems in which people and nature interact ... -
Assessing nature-based solutions for transformative change
(One Earth, 2021-05-01)Global sustainability targets demand transformative changes. Nature-based solutions (NbS) are gaining traction in science and policy, but their potential for transformative change remains unexplored. We provide a framework ... -
Biocultural vulnerability exposes threats of culturally important species
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2023-01-01)There are growing calls for conservation frameworks that, rather than breaking the relations between people and other parts of nature, capture place-based relationships that have supported social-ecological systems over ... -
Can existing assessment tools be used to track equity in protected area management under Aichi Target 11?
(Biological Conservation, 2018-08-01)Aichi Target 11 (AT11) includes the commitment of 194 governments to equitably manage protected areas (PAs) by 2020. Here we evaluate whether existing PA Management Effectiveness (PAME) and social and governance assessment ... -
Climate Change Perceptions and Adaptations among Smallholder Farmers in the Mountains of Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
(Land, 2002)The warming rates in many mountain areas are higher than the global average, negatively impacting crop systems. Little is known about the climatic changes which are already being observed in eastern Democratic Republic ... -
Everyday adaptation practices by coffee farmers in three mountain regions in Africa
(Ecology and Society, 2022)Mountain environments in East Africa experience more rapid increases in temperature than lower elevations, which, together with changing rainfall patterns, often negatively affect coffee production. However, little is known ... -
Local Observations of Climate Change and Adaptation Responses: A Case Study in the Mountain Region of Burundi-Rwanda
(Land, 2023)Mountain regions and their communities are particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts. However, little is known on the impacts observed and adaptation responses used in Burundi’s mountain region and if these are ... -
Plural valuation of nature for equity and sustainability: Insights from the Global South
(Elsevier, 2020)Plural valuation is about eliciting the diverse values of nature articulated by different stakeholders in order to inform decision making and thus achieve more equitable and sustainable outcomes. We explore what approaches ... -
Safe and just Earth system boundaries
(Nature, 2023-07-06)The stability and resilience of the Earth system and human well-being are inseparably linked1–3, yet their interdependencies are generally under-recognized; consequently, they are often treated independently4,5. Here, we ... -
Set ambitious goals for biodiversity and sustainability
(SCIENCE, 2020-10-23)Global biodiversity policy is at a crossroads. Recent global assessments of living nature (1, 2) and climate (3) show worsening trends and a rapidly narrowing window for action. The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) ... -
The role of indigenous peoples and local communities in effective and equitable conservation
(Ecology and Society, 2021-01-01)Debate about what proportion of the Earth to protect often overshadows the question of how nature should be conserved and by whom. We present a systematic review and narrative synthesis of 169 publications investigating ... -
Triple exposure: Reducing negative impacts of climate change, blue growth, and conservation on coastal communities
(One Earth, 2023-02-17)Coastal communities are on the frontlines of three accelerating global change drivers, climate change, blue growth, and the expansion of area-based conservation, leading to a “triple exposure” scenario. Despite efforts to ... -
Use your power for good: Plural valuation of nature the Oaxaca statement
(Global sustainability, 2020)During a workshop held in Oaxaca, Mexico, a shared vision, mission and strategies to foster a more plural valuation of nature were developed. The participants represent a wide range of backgrounds and are active in ...
