  • What is ‘relational thinking’, and how does it manifest in research?

    Open AccessR K Gould, Stefan Partelow et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2026

    People and Nature is a ‘journal of relational thinking’. This editorial explores what relational thinking can mean and how it might be operationalized in the context of humans and the environment. Relational thinking may seem intuitive because it recognizes the world's inherent interconnectedness. However, the question of how to operationalize relational thinking in social‐ecological research is rich and multifaceted. This is because doing resear…

  • Whose fruits, whose labour? Negotiating community and care-work in urban orchards and food forests

  • Experiences of a changing environment

    Open AccessRebecca M Ford, Cristina Aponte et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2025

    Forest experiences are shaped by the environment, activities and personal resources. • Fires create potent environments through changes to enclosure, colour, dead trees. • Main types of experience in burnt forests are aesthetic, restorative and loss/recovery. • Connection to nature draws attention to loss/recovery, leading to sadness and hope. • Thought-based adaptions to fire include belief forests are dynamic and a fire aesthetic. Natural envir…

  • Social forestry for a good life? The uneven well‐being benefits of Indonesia's social forestry scheme

    Open AccessTessa Toumbourou, Mia B Dunphy et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2025

    The Indonesian government has scaled up its devolution of forest management to local communities in the form of social forestry, with the aim of improving forest management while delivering nature‐based well‐being (including livelihood) benefits for local communities. We investigate the varied well‐being impacts of social forestry management rights—an expression of human–nature relationships—and how these are distributed among different social gr…

  • Urban food trees

    Open AccessAnastasia Gramatakos, Catherine Phillips et al.ARTICLEGeographical Research2025References: 72

    Within a context of pronounced attention towards urban greening, the inclusion of food-producing trees (FPT) in the public realm remains a marginal practice. In this paper, we consider why this may be the case. Building on recent scholarship investigating more-than-human care infrastructure (Alam & Houston, 2020; Power & Williams, 2020; Power & Mee, 2020), we consider the socio-material relations that enable (and limit) care of, and by, FPT in th…

  • Emergent sovereignties

    Open AccessLachlan Beggs, T Neale et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning E Nature…2025Cited by: 1References: 38

    This article examines the resurgence of Indigenous peoples' presence and knowledge in environmental management in southeast Australia, a region with an ongoing history of settler colonial dispossession. Drawing on the concept of "survivance", the article explores the dynamics of intercultural interactions between Indigenous organisations and settler state agencies through a focus on cultural fire management collaborations. These collaborations ha…

  • An intersectionally aware process for securing free, prior, and informed consent in community-based research

    Open AccessTessa Toumbourou, Tessa D Toumbourou et al.ARTICLEDevelopment in Practice2025References: 10

    Free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC) is a fundamental ethical principle in community-based research. It ensures participants are fully informed about a study’s purpose, risks, and benefits, and their involvement is voluntary and free from coercion. In participatory, community-based research, FPIC must be an ongoing process, reflecting an evolving research process and outcome. In rural Indonesia – and similar settings – effective FPIC processe…

  • Considering temporality for SES analysis with reflections from urban food forests and orchards

    Open AccessAnastasia Gramatakos, Andrea Rawluk et al.ARTICLEEcosystems and People2024

    Social ecological systems research has noted various understandings and experiences of time, however, these engagements tend to be underdeveloped. In this paper, we consider how SES analyses can make diverse experiences of time more apparent and better support SES research, management, and policy making. To consider how diverse temporal experiences might be better integrated in SES, we sketch how time and temporality have been addressed in SES re…

  • Investigating the Motivational Priorities Underlying Equestrians' Horse-Keeping and Training Practices

    Open AccessKaren L Luke, Andrea Rawluk et al.ARTICLEAnthrozoös2024References: 88

    Many traditional horse keeping and training practices can result in poor horse welfare. To assist reform and identify novel opportunities to facilitate improvements in horse welfare, this study sought to gauge the motivations underlying equestrians' horse-keeping and training practices. Nineteen amateur equestrians were interviewed using semi-structured interviews. Systems thinking and self-determination theory, which proposes humans are intrinsi…

  • Tomorrow's Country

    Open AccessAndrea Rawluk, T Neale et al.ARTICLEGeographical Research2023Cited by: 3References: 43

    First Nations peoples are revitalising diverse cultural fire practices and knowledge. Institutional and societal recognition of these practices is growing. Yet there has been little academic research on these fire practices in south-east Australia, let alone research led by Aboriginal people. We are a group of Indigenous and settler academics, practitioners, and experts focused on cultural fire management in the Victorian Loddon Mallee region. Us…

  • Adaptive hope

    Open AccessHelena Bender, Andrea RawlukARTICLEConservation Ecology2023Cited by: 1

    Future threats and ever-present uncertainty have become part of our social ecological reality. We need hope to respond to social ecological change, and our sense of hope must adapt to the changes we experience. Hope is known to contribute to resilience, be important for creating social change, and to instill a belief that better futures are possible. However, there are multiple expressions of hope that could be consolidated for navigating complex…

  • Does a Working Knowledge of Learning Theory Relate to Improved Horse Welfare and Rider Safety

    Open AccessKaren L Luke, Tina Mcadie et al.ARTICLEAnthrozoös2023Cited by: 4References: 50

    Training and riding directly effects horse welfare, highlighting the potential for training methods to improve both horse welfare and human safety. Learning theory is considered the most appropriate scientific foundation for horse training methods, yet equestrians' knowledge of learning theory is reportedly low. The relationship between equestrians' knowledge of learning theory terminology (LT) and horse welfare and rider safety was investigated …

  • Finding common ground

    Andrea Rawluk, Anna Sanders et al.ARTICLEThe International Forestry Review2022

    Indigenous and traditional peoples, practitioners and researchers navigate complex social ecological landscapes. The importance of dialogue across cultures, languages, disciplines, and forms of knowledge is increasingly recognised as needed in landscape restoration and environmental governance at multiple scales. A process called adaptive doing was used in two workshops in South Kalimantan Province, followed by remote collaboration among team mem…

  • Relationships to Bushfire among Residents Who Do Not Typically Participate in Community Engagement in Victoria, Australia

    Andrea Rawluk, Rebecca M Ford et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2021References: 10

    There are calls to consider the views of the diverse public in bushfire policy, planning, and management, yet those who do not typically participate in social research and/or government community engagement activities are generally under-represented. A mixed method research design was used, including a survey, intercept and in-depth interviews to study a diversity of views. Concepts of social values, knowledge and practices were drawn on first to…
