  • Seeking to quantify contributions that fisheries operations can make to a global Nature Positive goal

    Open AccessS A Karlsdóttir, H Booth et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2026

    Amidst global efforts to address biodiversity loss, the concept of ‘Nature Positive’ has gained traction as a societal goal aligned with the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). While the goal is increasingly being embraced by governments and various business sectors, there has been little investigation into how fisheries, a key sector in the global economy and a major driver of marine biodiversity loss, could go beyond ‘sustainable fishing’ to c…

  • Identifying leverage points for sustainability in India’s shark supply chains

    Open AccessTrisha Gupta, Divya Karnad et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2025

    Sharks are highly threatened by overfishing, but hold important subsistence, economic and cultural values for many communities globally, highlighting the need for sustainable and equitable fisheries management. A robust understanding of market structure and dynamics of shark trade, and how they may be driving their fishing and consumption, is needed to develop effective policies for sustainability. Our study described the actor types, supply chai…

  • Bringing contextual reality to IUU fishing

    Open AccessBrittany Bartlett, Rodrigo Oyanedel et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2025

    The illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing terminology, as presented in the International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter, and Eliminate IUU Fishing (IPOA-IUU), is often scrutinised for its vague and conflated nature. As a result, although internationally recognised and widely used, it is often difficult to conceptualise and operationalise across scales. Through key informant semi-structured interviews, this study aimed to gain exper…

  • The impact of Covid ‐19 on public perceptions of wild meat in Central Africa

    Open AccessYuhan Li, Lude Kinzonzi et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2025

    Wild meat is a significant source of food and income generation in Central Africa. However, there is little knowledge of how the assumed link between COVID‐19 and wild meat consumption has been discussed by the media and received by the public. In this study, we conducted media content analysis of 264 articles published in 2019–2020 related to wild meat consumption in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Gabon and Republic of the Congo and…

  • Implications of human‐nature interactions for livelihoods and conservation in Kasungu, Malawi

    Open AccessLessah Mandoloma, Michael Clark et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2025

    Effective conservation strategies require a comprehensive understanding of human‐nature relationships, including the factors driving these interactions. Without this context, interventions risk being impractical or ineffective, potentially leaving both people and nature worse off. We used mixed methods to understand human‐nature interactions in Kasungu, Malawi. We specifically examined people's use of natural resources and perceptions of wildlife…

  • Bushmeat consumption frequency and preferences among rural households in a West African savanna landscape

    Open AccessHannah N K Sackey, James McNamara et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2025

    The drivers of consumer demand for bushmeat are relatively well studied in tropical forest systems, but much less so in savanna areas. This is important because differing ecological and socio‐economic conditions lead to different factors affecting the relationship between local communities and their natural resources. Northern Ghana is an understudied savanna area, with a recognized cross‐border and long‐distant bushmeat trade. Understanding the …

  • Gender dynamics of tropical wildmeat systems

    Open AccessJasmin Willis, Wahyu Nurbandi et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2025

    Wildmeat is a vital natural resource globally, which must be managed sustainably to avoid livelihood insecurity, species decline and biodiversity loss. Women have a pivotal role in harvesting, processing and distributing wildmeat, yet their contributions are often overlooked. Engaging women is essential for sustainable wildmeat management and equitable conservation, which requires an understanding of their roles and influence—an area that remains…

  • A pragmatic framework for local operationalisation of national-level biodiversity impact mitigation commitments

    Open AccessThomas B Atkins, Natalie Duffus et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2025Referencias: 2

    Countries around the world are attempting to navigate complex trade-offs between biodiversity and other land use objectives such as infrastructure expansion, with many adopting “net outcomes” policies that aim to ensure economic development leaves biodiversity better off than before. The implementation of net outcomes policies often occurs on a project-by-project basis, which can lead to implementation missing opportunities for integrated thinkin…

  • Local people’s preferences for housing development-associated Biodiversity Net Gain in England

    Open AccessAmber Butler, Ben Groom et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2025Referencias: 74

    Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) in England is a recently legislated mechanism for ensuring that the biodiversity impacts of new developments are appropriately mitigated. Despite the assumption that some elements, such as the preference for locally implemented offsetting of impacts, should provide benefits for people, the policy's focus is on ecological outcomes. The social feasibility of BNG guidelines has not been properly tested, nor has their gene…

  • Biodiversity offsets perform poorly for both people and nature, but better approaches are available

    Open AccessMattia Mancini, Mattia C Mancini et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2024

    Sustainability requires that we restore biodiversity and wider ecosystem services, yet developments such as new housing inevitably cause environmental impacts. Accordingly, developers are increasingly required to resource offset projects, delivering biodiversity or wider environmental net gains. However, analyses of offsets in England show that the large majority are conducted within development sites rather than targeted toward better opportunit…

  • Nature’s contributions to social determinants of mental health and the role of conservation

    Open AccessThomas Pienkowski, Aidan Keane et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2024

    Little is known about the impending mental health impacts of the global nature crisis. Existing evidence largely overlooks how nature sustains the economic and material dimensions of people’s lives that support their mental health. Moreover, this evidence poorly represents the context-dependent experiences of billions living in the rural Global South. Here, we offer a framework illustrating how nature’s essential contributions to people underpin …

  • The “nature-positive” journey for business

    Open AccessThomas B White, Talitha Bromwich et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2024

    Biodiversity is rising rapidly on the global agenda, prompting businesses to adopt the ''nature-positive'' framing, expressing a commitment to combat biodiversity loss and contribute to global nature recovery goals.However, realizing these ambitions requires transformative changes in business operations, which will be challenging given the uncertainties surrounding possible strategies and pathways.A research-driven approach for business action on…

  • Operationalizing transformative change for business in the context of Nature Positive

    Open AccessHollie Booth, E J Milner-Gulland et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2024

    The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) includes a specific target for reducing businesses’ negative impacts on biodiversity and increasing their positive impacts to contribute toward the GBF mission and vision. “Nature Positive” is also emerging as a rallying call for mainstreaming the GBF. Merely tinkering with business as usual will not deliver these ambitions; transformative change is needed. However, how to operationalize tr…

  • Exploring the human-nature nexus towards effective nature-based solutions

    Open AccessShahzoda Alikhanova, E J Milner-Gulland et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2024Referencias: 37

    Incorporating societal challenges and values into the design of locally appropriate nature-based solutions (NbS) is an integral strategy for ensuring benefits for both communities and the environment. But how are human-nature relations impacted when the environments containing resources which are valued and relied on, undergo dramatic and sustained change on decadal timescales? To explore this interplay, we selected Muynak as a case study, once a…

  • Making adaptive management more user friendly to encourage manager buy‐in

    Open AccessTimothy Kuiper, Nobesuthu A Ngwenya et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2023

    Adaptive management, whereby monitoring is used to evaluate management interventions with uncertain outcomes, is theoretically well‐developed but poorly implemented. Previous work has identified several reasons for this, but there has been little direct investigation into the perceptions of on‐the‐ground managers (those ultimately responsible for adopting adaptive management). We conducted interviews with nine protected area managers in the Mana–…

  • Drawing on local knowledge and attitudes for the conservation of critically endangered rhino rays in Goa, India

    Open AccessTrisha Gupta, E J Milner-Gulland et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2023

    In the context of marine species declines in data‐limited regions, local ecological knowledge (LEK) is a valuable source of information on species ecology and historical trends. LEK can also help understand how threatened species exist within a local culture, in terms of their uses and values, and reveal attitudes towards their conservation. Rhino rays (guitarfish and wedgefish) are highly threatened by overfishing with most species critically en…

  • A socio‐psychological approach for understanding and managing bycatch in small‐scale fisheries

    Open AccessHollie Booth, Muhammad Ichsan et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2023

    Fisheries bycatch is the greatest threat to migratory, long‐lived marine animals. Addressing bycatch ultimately requires changing fisher behaviour, yet social and behavioural sciences are rarely applied to bycatch mitigation, with an absence of theory‐informed behaviour change interventions. Moreover, mitigating bycatch is particularly challenging in small‐scale mixed‐species fisheries (SSFs), where perceptions of target and non‐target vary widel…

  • International media coverage of the Bolivian jaguar trade

    Open AccessYuhan Li, Melissa Arias et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2022

    The trade in jaguar body parts is viewed as an alarming threat to the jaguar, and there is the assumption that Chinese demand is driving the trade. However, there has been little analysis of the discourses around the trade both with respect to the Chinese public, internationally and in source countries. We analysed 298 media articles in Chinese, English and Spanish languages from 2010 to 2019, to understand the disparities in reporting of this ja…

  • Quantifying unintended effects of an agroecological research project on farmers' practices and social network in Papua New Guinea

    Open AccessMirjam Hazenbosch, Shen Sui et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2022

    Agroecological researchers and advocates often make assumptions about the social impact and dissemination of their work: researchers may assume that their work has impact through postresearch dissemination, while advocates may assume that new agroecological practices can be effectively spread through existing social networks. Here, we test these assumptions by quantifying the effects of an agroecological research project on farming practices and …

  • Identifying relationships between multi‐scale social–ecological factors to explore ungulate health in a Western Kazakhstan rangeland

    Open AccessMunib Khanyari, Robinson et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2022

    Rangelands are multi‐use landscapes which are socially and ecologically important in different ways. Among other interactions, shared use of rangelands by wildlife and livestock can lead to disease transmission. Understanding wildlife and livestock health and managing disease transmission in rangelands requires an integration of social and ecological knowledge. Using the example of Western Kazakhstan, home to two types of ungulate hosts, the crit…

  • Investigating acceptance of marine tourism levies, to cover the opportunity costs of conservation for coastal communities

    Open AccessHollie Booth, Susana Mourato et al.ARTICLEEcological Economics2022Citada por: 5Referencias: 2

    Marine tourism is promoted as a substitute economic activity to unsustainable fishing, which is compatible with conservation. However, benefits of marine tourism do not typically accrue in small-scale fisheries (SSFs), which often bear the costs of conservation; they accrue to tourists and tourist-focussed businesses. We explored how marine tourism levies could operationalise the beneficiary-pays principle and address these cost-benefit inequitie…

  • Who eats wild meat? Profiling consumers in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

    Open AccessAlegria Olmedo, Diogo Veríssimo et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2021

    Overexploitation for consumption of meat from wild animals in urban centres currently threatens numerous species across the globe. Indiscriminate offtake to satisfy demand for wild meat affects a range of wildlife of conservation concern in Vietnam. It is essential to understand the consumption of wild meat in Vietnam in order to ensure it is not detrimental to wild species. We apply the principles of target audience segmentation to a sample of 3…

  • Use of evidence for decision‐making by conservation practitioners in the illegal wildlife trade

    Open AccessMelissa Arias, Amy Hinsley et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2021

    There are calls to ground policies aimed at addressing the illegal wildlife trade (IWT), and biodiversity conservation more generally, on the best available evidence. However, evidence on IWT can be highly uncertain and difficult to obtain due to the illegal nature of the trade. Even when the evidence exists, there are numerous barriers to its uptake by decision makers, pertaining to the evidence itself and to the characteristics and contexts of …

  • Combining data from consumers and traditional medicine practitioners to provide a more complete picture of Chinese bear bile markets

    Open AccessAmy Hinsley, Sifan Hu et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2021

    Understanding wildlife consumption is essential for the design and evaluation of effective conservation interventions to reduce illegal trade. This requires understanding both the consumers themselves and those who influence their behaviour. For example, in markets for wildlife‐based medicines, both consumers and medical practitioners have a role in which products are consumed. We used mixed methods to triangulate data on bear bile consumption fr…

  • Understanding Traditional Chinese Medicine to strengthen conservation outcomes

    Open AccessHubert Cheung, Hunter L Doughty et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2021

    Numerous treatments in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) involve the use of wildlife products, including some that utilize ingredients derived from endangered flora and fauna. Demand for such endangered wildlife products in TCM can threaten the survival of species and pose serious challenges for conservation. Chinese medical practice is embedded in the cultural fabric of many societies in East and Southeast Asia, and remains an integral part of …
