  • Exploring the Uneven Terrain of Perceived Benefits from Protected Areas

    Open AccessJessica L’roe, Diane Detoeuf et al.ARTICLEAnnals of the American…2025References: 32

    A common narrative about protected areas (PAs) is that social benefits accrue globally whereas burdens are felt locally, particularly in lower income countries. Researchers tend to focus on conflicts, and data on perceptions of PAs tend to be very locally specific and disproportionately available across regional contexts. As a result, we know surprisingly little about how benefits from PAs are distributed among local populations. Here, we use dat…

  • Comparing forest product harvest rates and livelihood activities among migrant and Indigenous households in the Congo Basin

    Open AccessJessica L’roe, Grayson Shanley Barr et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2023Cited by: 1References: 9

    Understanding uneven patterns of forest use and tracking changes in the composition of forest residents are both important for sensitive forest policy and management. With increases in migration streams in several tropical forest regions, we need corresponding information about how new immigrants are influencing human-environment relations in sites of ecological significance. We use data from over 6500 household surveys collected by the Wildlife …

  • Large-scale monitoring in the DRC’s Ituri forest with a locally informed multidimensional well-being index

    Open AccessJessica L’roe, Diane Detoeuf et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2023Cited by: 1References: 7

    To monitor quality of life in changing landscapes and assess impacts of interventions, development scholars and practitioners continue to seek sensitive, flexible, practical means of measuring well-being. An approach that has received relatively little attention from development scholars but that is gaining traction among NGOs is the use of a well-being index derived from a list of locally defined and democratically weighted basic necessities. Th…

  • Mapping the availability of bushmeat for consumption in Central African cities

    Open AccessJulia E Fa, Juliet H Wright et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    The trade of bushmeat from rural areas to supply burgeoning cities is a major conservation and livelihood concern. Using a whole-city sampling strategy we mapped the distribution and numbers of meat outlets in the Kinshasa–Brazzaville metropolitan area, two neighboring capital cities in Central Africa. We show that both cities differ in the number and density of meat outlets, with more in Brazzaville per area sampled and inhabitants. The number o…

  • Aligning evidence generation and use across health, development, and environment

    Open AccessHeather Tallis, Katharine Kreis et al.ARTICLECurrent Opinion in Environmental…2019References: 6

    Although health, development, and environment challenges are interconnected, evidence remains fractured across sectors due to methodological and conceptual differences in research and practice. Aligned methods are needed to support Sustainable Development Goal advances and similar agendas. The Bridge Collaborative, an emergent research-practice collaboration, presents principles and recommendations that help harmonize methods for evidence generat…

  • Protected areas and poverty

    Open AccessDan Brockington, Daniel Brockington et al.ARTICLEPhilosophical Transactions of the…2015

    Protected areas are controversial because they are so important for conservation and because they distribute fortune and misfortune unevenly. The nature of that distribution, as well as the terrain of protected areas themselves, have been vigorously contested. In particular, the relationship between protected areas and poverty is a long-running debate in academic and policy circles. We review the origins of this debate and chart its key moments. …

  • Guiding principles for evaluating the impacts of conservation interventions on human well-being

    Open AccessEmily Woodhouse, K Homewood et al.ARTICLEPhilosophical Transactions of the…2015

    Measures of socio-economic impacts of conservation interventions have largely been restricted to externally defined indicators focused on income, which do not reflect people's priorities. Using a holistic, locally grounded conceptualization of human well-being instead provides a way to understand the multi-faceted impacts of conservation on aspects of people's lives that they value. Conservationists are engaging with well-being for both pragmatic…

  • Impacts of Protected Areas on Local Livelihoods in Cambodia

    Open AccessTom Clements, Suon Seng et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2014Cited by: 24References: 5

    Impact evaluation methods (mixed effects models and matching) were used to investigate the effect of protected areas (PAs) on poverty and livelihoods in Cambodia, comparing households inside PAs with bordering villages and controls. There was no evidence that PAs exacerbated local poverty or reduce agricultural harvests in comparison with controls. Households bordering the PAs were significantly better off due to greater access to markets and ser…

  • A Simple, Cost-Effective Method for Involving Stakeholders in Spatial Assessments of Threats to Biodiversity

    Adrian Treves, Lanto Andriamampianina et al.ARTICLEHuman Dimensions of Wildlife2006

    Human–nature interactions shape biodiversity and natural resources. Planning conservation and engaging stakeholders in dialogues about conservation require an understanding of indirect threats arising from socioeconomic and political conditions, plus participatory methods to build consensus for action. We present a method for spatial assessment of threats, which involves stakeholders in decision-making and planning for conservation. We developed …

    Open AccessReyes‐garcía, Victoria Reyes-García et al.ARTICLEEthnobotany Research and…2005Cited by: 35

    Researchers have often equated ethnobotanical knowledge collected through interview questions with actual uses of plants, but knowledge and uses of plants might or might not move in lockstep. Using data from 132 adults living in two villages of a foraging-farming society in the Bolivian Amazon, the Tsimane ́, we compare ethnobotanical knowledge with uses of wild and semi-domesticated plants. Villages differed in proximity to the market town and i…

  • Patience in a Foraging-Horticultural Society

    Ricardo Godoy, Elizabeth Byron et al.ARTICLEJournal of Anthropological Research2004Cited by: 5

    Patience, or the ability to delay gratification, matters in the behavioral and medical sciences and in public policy because it correlates with a wide range of desirable outcomes. For instance, patience correlates positively with income, wealth, conservation of natural resources, health, and savings and negatively with crime and drug addiction. Anthropologists have made few contributions to cross-cultural studies of patience despite its importanc…

    In this article, the authors contribute to the empirical study of culture as shared knowledge by exploring correlations of individual responses to different questionnaires of the same tasks and correlation of individual responses to different tasks. They collected data on ethnobotanical knowledge from 149 adult Tsimane' Amerindians in Bolivia. The authors used a cultural consensus model to calculate individual scores of cultural knowledge for eac…
