The global relevance of locally grounded ethnobiology
While ethnobiology is a discipline that focuses on the local, it has an outstanding, but not yet fully realized potential to address global issues. Part of this unrealized potential is that universalistic approaches often do not fully recognize culturally grounded perspectives and there are multiple challenges with scaling up place-based research. However, scalability is paramount to ensure that the intimate and context-specific diversity of huma…
Relational research to elevate cultural dimensions of marine organisms in Hawaiʻi
With the increasing focus on elevating local and Indigenous Knowledge and culture in marine management, there has been a growing desire for methods that identify cultural attributes of marine species. We piloted one method to initiate discussion about how cultural connections to marine organisms in Hawaiʻi might be operationalized in conventional marine management systems. We first compared the taxonomic groups mentioned in NOAA management docume…
Facing change
A fishing community is defined by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (the primary piece of U.S. marine fisheries legislation) as those communities which are "substantially dependent on or substantially engaged in the harvest or processing of fishery resources to meet social and economic needs." Critics note that this definition is vague and have attempted to develop frameworks for understanding and defining community bey…
Assessing the sustainability and equity of Alaska salmon fisheries through a well-being framework
Donkersloot, R., J. C. Black, C. Carothers, D. Ringer, W. Justin, P. M. Clay, M. R. Poe, E. R. Gavenus, W. Voinot-Baron, C. Stevens, M. Williams, J. Raymond-Yakoubian, F. Christiansen, S. J. Breslow, S. J. Langdon, J. M. Coleman, and S. J. Clark. 2020. Assessing the sustainability and equity of Alaska salmon fisheries through a well-being framework.

Natural Resource Access Rights and Wrongs
This article uses research about non-timber forest products (NTFP) gathering in Seattle, Washington, USA to examine how people gain access to natural resources in urban environments. Our analysis focuses on gathering in three spaces: parks, yards, and public rights of way. We present a framework for conceptualizing access, and highlight cognitive mechanisms of access associated with foragers’ internal moral judgments about harvesting. Key finding…
Evaluating the best available social science for natural resource management decision-making
Engage key social concepts for sustainability
Social indicators, both mature and emerging, are underused
Conceptualizing and operationalizing human wellbeing for ecosystem assessment and management
A Burning Problem
Disasters result from hazards affecting vulnerable people. Most disasters research by anthropologists focuses on vulnerability; this article focuses on natural hazards. We use the case of wildfire mitigation on United States Forest Service lands in the northwestern United States to examine social, political, and economic variables at multiple scales that influence fire hazard and risk reduction treatments and their effectiveness. Variables highli…
Subsistence fishing in a 21st century capitalist society
Gathering “wild” food in the city
Recent “green” planning initiatives envision food production, including urban agriculture and livestock production, as desirable elements of sustainable cities. We use an integrated urban political ecology and human–plant geographies framework to explore how foraging for “wild” foods in cities, a subversive practice that challenges prevailing views about the roles of humans in urban green spaces, has potential to also support sustainability goals…
Urban foraging and the relational ecologies of belonging
Through a discussion of urban foraging in Seattle, Washington, USA, we examine how people's plant and mushroom harvesting practices in cities are linked to relationships with species, spaces, and ecologies. Bringing a relational approach to political ecology, we discuss the ways that these particular nature-society relationships are formed, legitimated, and mobilized in discursive and material ways in urban ecosystems. Engaging closely with and a…
Making Sense of Human Ecology Mapping
Urban Forest Justice and the Rights to Wild Foods, Medicines, and Materials in the City
Community Forestry in Theory and Practice
Community forestry refers to forest management that has ecological sustainability and local community benefits as central goals, with some degree of responsibility and authority for forest management formally vested in the community. This review provides an overview of where the field of community forestry is today. We describe four case examples from the Americas: Canada, the United States, Mexico, and Bolivia. We also identify five hypotheses e…
