Joint social‐ecological outcomes of private land conservation
Private land conservation (PLC) can contribute to sustainability by improving biodiversity and human well‐being but can also result in negative outcomes for people and nature if poorly designed. Informing PLC design to achieve objectives for joint biodiversity and well‐being is challenging because most evaluations assess ecological and social outcomes separately, and the outcomes vary across diverse social‐cultural contexts. Consequently, incorpo…
From citizen science experiences to stewardship action
Marine citizen science initiatives often aim to foster ocean stewardship, yet the key factors for success remain uncertain. While time in nature and environmental knowledge are believed to be crucial for encouraging stewardship, the role of other aspects of citizen science, such as social experiences, in influencing outcomes is also not well understood. To address this, we surveyed 131 people attending marine citizen science events. We discovered…
Opportunities for meaningful climate change engagement in vulnerable nature settings
Nature‐based tourism has a unique opportunity, and arguably responsibility, to promote widespread action on climate change. However, research suggests an aversion to providing information that might appear divisive or ‘ruin’ peoples day, particularly in places that are vulnerable to degradation. We explore how exposure to climate change information in vulnerable nature settings influences indicators of (i) the visitor experience and (ii) climate …
Plastic action or distraction? Marine plastic campaigns influence public engagement with climate change in both general and engaged audiences
Climate change poses a key threat to marine ecosystems globally. Yet, contemporary discussions on marine conservation and individual action tend to focus on small lifestyle changes such as reducing plastic use. Some question whether campaigns that target “low impact” behaviours such as those related to plastic distract from broader sustainability goals such as mitigating climate change. However, others suggest that promoting simple behaviours may…
Deterioration of respiratory health following changes to land cover and climate in Indonesia
Air pollution associated with agricultural activities and land-cover change poses significant health problems in developing countries. However, studies on the respiratory health impacts of these activities are scarce. Sumatra, Indonesia, is a region well known for its frequent land fires and haze. Here, we link data on healthcare attendances for respiratory illnesses between 2001 and 2018 with biophysical and socioeconomic variables known to be i…
The role of iconic places, collective efficacy, and negative emotions in climate change communication
Communication strategies designed to strengthen individual and community climate action play a key role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and averting worst-case climate scenarios. However, communicating climate change in a way that motivates action remains a significant challenge. Through two experimental surveys with representative samples of Australian residents (n1 =723, n2 =729), we investigated whether climate messages that highlight rel…
Public opinion on protecting iconic species depends on individual wellbeing
Public opinion has the potential to shape conservation policy-making and implementation. At a local scale, it is argued that human wellbeing is important for conservation success. However, little research has explored how social factors like wellbeing shape public opinion at cross-national scales. Here, we focus on orangutan conservation, where an iconic species near extinction exists amidst complex social issues. We surveyed 2073 Indonesian and …
Urban park soundscapes
Natural soundscapes experienced in parks are increasingly recognised as a valuable ecosystem service, yet urban parks soundscapes also commonly contain anthropogenic noise. While studies show bird calls can promote psychological restoration, the factors that might influence actual experiences of these sounds by individuals in urban parks are less clear. Equally, continual exposure to anthropogenic noise, such as vehicle traffic, is associated wit…

What does equitable distribution mean in community forests
Conservation planning for people and nature in a Chilean biodiversity hotspot
The Mediterranean‐type climate region of Chile is a globally unique biodiversity hotspot but its protected area system does not adequately represent the biological diversity, nor does it provide equitable access to people. We explored options to expand the protected area system to cost‐effectively improve the conservation of forest ecosystem types while simultaneously enhancing social accessibility to protected areas. Social accessibility is defi…

Heterogeneous impacts of community forestry on forest conservation and poverty alleviation
Community forestry is a participatory approach aiming to achieve sustainable forest management while also reducing poverty among rural communities. Yet, evidence of the impacts of community forestry programmes on both forest conservation and poverty alleviation is scarce, and there is limited understanding of impacts across different social and biophysical contexts. We applied a matching method to assess the extent to which deforestation has decr…

The use of focus group discussion methodology
Focus group discussion is frequently used as a qualitative approach to gain an in‐depth understanding of social issues. The method aims to obtain data from a purposely selected group of individuals rather than from a statistically representative sample of a broader population. Even though the application of this method in conservation research has been extensive, there are no critical assessment of the application of the technique. In addition, t…
How just and just how? A systematic review of social equity in conservation research
Background: Conservation decisions not only impact wildlife, habitat, and environmental health, but also human wellbeing and social justice. The inclusion of safeguards and equity considerations in the conservation field has increasingly garnered attention in international policy processes and amongst conservation practitioners. Yet, what constitutes an ‘equitable’ solution can take many forms, and how the concept is treated within conservation r…
A methodological guide to using and reporting on interviews in conservation science research
Interviews are a widely used methodology in conservation research. They are flexible, allowing in‐depth analysis from a relatively small sample size and place the focus of research on the views of participants. While interviews are a popular method, several critiques have been raised in response to their use, including the lack of transparency in sampling strategy, choice of questions and mode of analysis. In this paper, we analyse the use of int…

Supply of carbon sequestration and biodiversity services from Australia's agricultural land under global change
Spatial and temporal patterns of land clearing during policy change
Environmental policies and regulations have been instrumental in influencing deforestation rates around the world. Understanding how these policies change stakeholder behaviours is critical for determining policy impact. In Queensland, Australia, changes in native vegetation management policy seem to have influenced land clearing behaviour of landholders. Periods of peak clearing rates have been associated with periods preceding the introduction …

Frequent policy uncertainty can negate the benefits of forest conservation policy
Policy-driven shifts from net deforestation to forest expansion are being stimulated by increasing social preferences for forest ecosystem services. However, policy uncertainty can disrupt or reverse the positive effects of forest transitions. For instance, if the loss of remnant (primary) forest continues, the ecological benefits of net forest gains may be small. We investigated how peak periods of uncertainty in forest conservation policy affec…

Restoring degraded tropical forests for carbon and biodiversity
The extensive deforestation and degradation of tropical forests is a significant contributor to the loss of biodiversity and to global warming. Restoration could potentially mitigate the impacts of deforestation, yet knowledge on how to efficiently allocate funding for restoration is still in its infancy. We systematically prioritize investments in restoration in the tropical landscape of East Kalimantan, Indonesia, and through this application d…

Designing multifunctional landscapes for forest conservation
A multifunctional landscape approach to forest protection has been advocated for tropical countries. Designing such landscapes necessitates that the role of different land uses in protecting forest be evaluated, along with the spatial interactions between land uses. However, such evaluations have been hindered by a lack of suitable analysis methodologies and data with fine spatial resolution over long time periods. We demonstrate the utility of a…

Rising floodwaters
The roles of forest and wetland ecosystems in regulating flooding have drawn increasing attention in the contexts of climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction. However, data on floods are scarce in many of the countries where people are most exposed and vulnerable to their impacts. Here, our separate analyses of village interview surveys(364 villages) and news archives(16 sources)show that floods have major impacts on lives and liveli…

Effectiveness of regulatory policy in curbing deforestation in a biodiversity hotspot
Recent rates of deforestation on private lands in Australia rival deforestation hotspots around the world, despite conservation policies in place to avert deforestation. This study uses causal impact estimation techniques to determine if a controversial conservation policy-the Vegetation Management Act (VMA)-has successfully reduced deforestation of remnant trees in the Brigalow Belt South, a 21.6 Mha biodiversity hotspot in Queensland. We use co…
Forest loss and Borneo’s climate
The equatorial island of Borneo is a deforestation hotspot. However, the influence of forest loss on the island's climate remains largely unexplored. Here, we examine how forest loss is related to changes in ground-based records of temperature (1961-2007) and precipitation (1951-2007), and MODIS data for temperature (2002-2016). Analyses were performed for the entire island, lowland areas ( 15 forest loss had a >15 reduction in rainfall. We concl…
Evaluating the effectiveness of palm oil certification in delivering multiple sustainability objectives
Industrial oil palm plantations in South East Asia have caused significant biodiversity losses and perverse social outcomes. To address concerns over plantation practices and in an attempt to improve sustainability through market mechanisms, civil society organisations and industry representatives developed the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) in 2004. The effectiveness of RSPO in improving the sustainability of the palm oil industry is …
