Local disconnects in global discourses—The unintended consequences of marine mammal protection on small‐scale fishersConservation Letters - Tập 14 Số 6 - 2021
Katrina Davis, Joanna Alfaro‐Shigueto, William N. S. Arlidge, Michael Burton, Jeffrey C. Mangel, Morena Mills, E.J. Milner‐Gulland, José Palma-Duque, Cristina Romero‐de‐Diego, Stefan Gelcich
AbstractGlobal commitments prioritize protection of wildlife and improvements to human wellbeing. Local disconnects in these commitments are rarely acknowledged—or their implications assessed—preventing the development of effective solutions. National and international efforts to protect marine mammals along South America's west coast have contributed to species re...... hiện toàn bộ
Land Sparing Versus Land Sharing: Moving ForwardConservation Letters - Tập 7 Số 3 - Trang 149-157 - 2014
Joern Fischer, David J. Abson, Van Butsic, M. Jahi Chappell, Johan Ekroos, Jan Hanspach, Tobias Kuemmerle, Henrik G. Smith, Henrik von Wehrden
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 rathe...... hiện toàn bộ
Social Media Data Can Be Used to Understand Tourists’ Preferences for Nature‐Based Experiences in Protected AreasConservation Letters - Tập 11 Số 1 - 2018
Anna Hausmann, Tuuli Toivonen, Rob Slotow, Henrikki Tenkanen, Atte Moilanen, Vuokko Heikinheimo, Enrico Di Minin
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...... hiện toàn bộ
Mapping global human dependence on marine ecosystemsConservation Letters - Tập 12 Số 2 - 2019

AbstractMany human populations are dependent on marine ecosystems for a range of benefits, but we understand little about where and to what degree people rely on these ecosystem services. We created a new conceptual model to map the degree of human dependence on marine ecosystems based on the magnitude of the benefit, susceptibility of people to a loss of that bene...... hiện toàn bộ
Payments for ecosystem services and the fatal attraction of win‐win solutionsConservation Letters - 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 c...... hiện toàn bộ

Eye on the Taiga: Removing Global Policy Impediments to Safeguard the Boreal ForestConservation Letters - Tập 7 Số 4 - Trang 408-418 - 2014
Jon Moen, Lucy Rist, Kevin Bishop, F. Stuart Chapin, David Ellison, Timo Kuuluvainen, Hans Petersson, Klaus J. Puettmann, Jeremy Rayner, Ian G. Warkentin, Corey J. A. Bradshaw
AbstractThe absence of boreal forests from global policy agendas on sustainable development and climate change mitigation represents a massive missed opportunity for environmental protection. The boreal zone contains some of the world's largest pools of terrestrial carbon that, if not safeguarded from a conversion to a net source of greenhouse gases, could seriousl...... hiện toàn bộ
Native Seed Supply and the Restoration Species PoolConservation Letters - Tập 11 Số 2 - 2018
Emma Ladouceur, Borja Jiménez‐Alfaro, María Susana Marín, Marcello De Vitis, Holly Abbandonato, Pietro P. M. Iannetta, Costantino Bonomi, Hugh W. Pritchard
AbstractGlobally, annual expenditure on ecological restoration of degraded areas for habitat improvement and biodiversity conservation is approximately $18bn. Seed farming of native plant species is crucial to meet restoration goals, but may be stymied by the disconnection of academic research in seed science and the lack of effective policies that regulate native ...... hiện toàn bộ
