Synergies between poverty reduction and biodiversity conservation
Advancing biodiversity through poverty solutions
Forwarding forest restoration: Seven key socio‐ecological issues for advancing forest restoration in a world in flux
Restoring forests can help conserve biodiversity, mitigate climate change and enhance human well‐being. Despite financial and political support for global forest restoration initiatives, projects continue to face persistent challenges and trade‐offs between environmental, climatic and socio‐economic goals. To better understand existing and future challenges and opportunities, we convened a diverse panel of 25 international experts from academia, …
Biocultural conservation as an alternative pathway for conservation: A case study of the Inclusive Conservation Initiative in northern Kenya
The Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) aims to conserve 30% of the planet by 2030, yet mounting evidence indicates that current methods for preventing biodiversity loss are insufficient and often intensify unjust conditions for Indigenous Peoples and local communities. Alternative models have been proposed to deal with this crisis, including strict, community, neoliberal and convivial conservation. Biocultural conservation is now re‐emerging as …
The emerging and escalating consequences of rural depopulation in the Himalaya
The Himalayan region, home to fifty million inhabitants and sustaining more than one billion, is experiencing mass rural depopulation and agrarian transition, the consequences of which are complex, varied, and still nascent. We convened a panel of 34 experts from various fields of socio-environmental sciences working in the Himalaya to conduct a horizon scan to identify escalating and emerging issues arising from rural depopulation over the next …
A horizon scan of global issues on forests and livelihoods for 2026
Sustainable forest transitions: A new analytical framework to understand social and ecological outcomes of reforestation
Restoring forests is key to addressing the climate and biodiversity crises and can benefit forest-dependent communities.However, frequent social and ecological trade-offs between these goals pose significant challenges for forest restoration efforts.Our understanding of how to maximize positive social and ecological restoration outcomes is hindered by the absence of a social-ecological theory of forest restoration.We present a new analytical ''su…
Global forest dataset incongruence creates high uncertainties for conservation, climate, and development policy
Where Nature and Poverty Meet: Developing a Multidimensional Environment-Poverty Measure
Despite the intrinsic relationships between the natural environment, poverty and human wellbeing, measures of poverty do not adequately account for environmental dimensions of wellbeing. This paper furthers theoretical debates about environment-poverty relationships by developing environmental dimensions and indicators for integration into multidimensional poverty indices. We demonstrate that this integration is practically possible using public …
Rights based approaches to forest landscape restoration; learning from the Indian forest policy experience
Forests, trees and poverty alleviation: Policy implications of current knowledge
A framework for analysing contextual factors shaping forest-poverty dynamics
Research frontiers on forests, trees, and poverty dynamics
Global forest restoration and the importance of prioritizing local communities
The Number and Spatial Distribution of Forest-Proximate People Globally
The extent and distribution of joint conservation-development funding in the tropics
Despite ongoing debates about the viability of sustaining economic growth while maintaining environmental integrity, international sustainability agendas increasingly propose reconciling socio-economic development and global environmental goals. Achieving these goals is impeded by limited funding and a lack of information on where financial flows to integrate environment and development are targeted. We analyze World Bank and Global Environment F…
A global analysis of the social and environmental outcomes of community forests
Covid-19 and the case for global development
Reductions in deforestation and poverty from decentralized forest management in Nepal
The sustainable development goals: The bumpy road ahead
Research frontiers in community forest management
Forest landscape restoration for livelihoods and well-being
An upside to globalization: International outmigration drives reforestation in Nepal
A global assessment of the social and conservation outcomes of protected areas
Protected areas (PAs) are a key strategy for protecting biological resources, but they vary considerably in their effectiveness and are frequently reported as having negative impacts on local people. This has contributed to a divisive and unresolved debate concerning the compatibility of environmental and socioeconomic development goals. Elucidating the relationship between positive and negative social impacts and conservation outcomes of PAs is …
Carbon, biodiversity, and livelihoods in forest commons: Synergies, trade-offs, and implications for Redd
Understanding the relationships and tradeoffs among management outcomes in forest commons has assumed new weight in the context of parallels between the objectives of community forest management and those of reduced emissions for deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) \nprograms to reduce carbon emissions while supporting local livelihoods. We examine the association between biophysical, demographic, institutional and socio-economic variabl…

Peer assessment of oral presentations: Effects of student gender, university affiliation and participation in the development of assessment criteria
Peer assessment provides a useful mechanism to develop many positive qualities in students studying in higher education (HE). Potential influences on peer‐awarded marks include student qualities such as gender, HE background (e.g. university affiliation) and participation in the development of the assessment criteria. Many studies that have investigated peer assessment have placed great emphasis on marks from a single tutor, or very few tutors, f…
