Payments for ecosystem services and the fatal attraction of win‐win solutions
Tập 6 Số 4 - Trang 274-279 - 2013
AbstractIn this commentary we critically discuss the suitability of payments for
ecosystem services and the most important challenges they face. While such
instruments can play a role in improving environmental governance, we argue that
over‐reliance on payments as win‐win solutions might lead to ineffective
outcomes, similar to earlier experience with integrated conservation and
development proje...
Land Sparing Versus Land Sharing: Moving Forward
Tập 7 Số 3 - Trang 149-157 - 2014
AbstractTo address the challenges of biodiversity conservation and commodity
production, a framework has been proposed that distinguishes between the
integration (“land sharing”) and separation (“land sparing”) of conservation and
production. Controversy has arisen around this framework partly because many
scholars have focused specifically on food production rather than more
encompassing notions ...
Shortfalls and Solutions for Meeting National and Global Conservation Area Targets
Tập 8 Số 5 - Trang 329-337 - 2015
AbstractGovernments have committed to conserving ≥17% of terrestrial and ≥10% of
marine environments globally, especially “areas of particular importance for
biodiversity” through “ecologically representative” Protected Area (PA) systems
or other “area‐based conservation measures”, while individual countries have
committed to conserve 3–50% of their land area. We estimate that PAs currently
cover ...
Protected area downgrading, downsizing, and degazettement (PADDD) and its conservation implications
Tập 4 Số 1 - Trang 9-20 - 2011
AbstractNational parks and other protected areas (PAs) are the foundation of
global efforts to conserve biological diversity. Conservation policy and
practice assume that PAs are permanent fixtures on the landscape, but scattered
evidence points to widespread—yet largely overlooked—PA downgrading, downsizing,
and degazettement (PADDD). As a preliminary investigation of PADDD and its
implications f...
Assessing citizen science data quality: an invasive species case study

Social Media Data Can Be Used to Understand Tourists’ Preferences for Nature‐Based Experiences in Protected Areas
Tập 11 Số 1 - 2018
AbstractCan social media data be used as an alternative to traditional surveys
to understand tourists’ preferences for nature‐based experiences in protected
areas? We explored this by comparing preferences for biodiversity obtained from
a traditional survey conducted in Kruger National Park, South Africa, with
observed preferences assessed from over 13,600 pictures shared on Instagram and
Flickr b...
When payments for environmental services will work for conservation
Tập 6 Số 4 - Trang 230-237 - 2013
AbstractUsing the article by Muradian et al. () as entry point, I develop a
broader framework for the conditions needed to allow PES to emerge and function.
It is argued that PES are designed as instruments with clear goals, and will
function without markets, economic valuation, or commoditized services. As a
highly adaptive management tool, PES are particularly suited for achieving
equitable and ...
From archives to conservation: why historical data are needed to set baselines for marine animals and ecosystems
Tập 5 Số 5 - Trang 349-359 - 2012
AbstractIntergenerational loss of information about the abundance of exploited
species can lead to shifting baselines, which have direct consequences for how
species and ecosystems are managed. Historical data provide a means of regaining
that information, but they still are not commonly applied in marine conservation
and management. Omission of relevant historical information typically results in...
Implications of bias in conservation research and investment for freshwater species
