  • Fortress conservation versus traditional forest management

    Open AccessKamaljit K Sangha, M Balasubramanian et al.ARTICLEEcosystems and People2026

    Wildlife conservation is typically achieved by excluding, evacuating or alienating the rights of Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs). This fortress conservation approach has led to uprooting, ongoing distress and despondency among many IPLCs worldwide. However, in the expansive and deep forests of the Western Ghats, India, the Biligiri Rangaswamy Temple Wildlife Sanctuary (BRTWS) offers a prime conservation exemplar where tribal (Adi…

  • Empowering Indigenous natural hazards management in northern Australia

    Open AccessJeremy Russell-Smith, Glenn James et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2022References: 32

    Northern Australia is prone to recurring severe natural hazards, especially frequent cyclones, flooding, and extensive wildfires. The region is sparsely populated (≪ 0.5 persons km −2 ), with Indigenous (Aboriginal) residents comprising 14% of the population, and typically the majority in remote regions. Despite national policy committed to addressing emergency management (EM) in vulnerable Indigenous communities, implementation remains unfunded.…

  • The Kere of Madagascar

    Open AccessMaixent I Ralaingita, Gretchen Ennis et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2022Cited by: 2

    The Kere is a recurrent famine occurring in the south of Madagascar that emerged substantively in the 1930s. Each major event claims thousands of lives and keeps many in a cycle of impoverishment, despite the existence of various aid-based responses. This assessment presents qualitative research exploring two Kere-affected communities’ experiences of the phenomenon. Through focus group discussions, we learn that the Kere is a complex social-ecolo…

These advantages—outside the mainstream economics—include peoples’ abilities to manage land and knowledge of ecosystems, culture, traditions/ceremonies which directly contribute towards peoples’ health, social relations, provisioning of a safe and secure environment, and…

  • Australia's north, Australia's future

    Open AccessIan Chambers, Jeremy Russell-Smith et al.ARTICLEAsia & the Pacific Policy Studies2018References: 2

    The release of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Change agreement highlighted the importance of global sustainability internationally. Here, we outline a vision and strategies for developing northern Australia that demonstrate how a focus on sustainable prosperity can both expand historical approaches and current government plans and integrate the biophysical realities with the social, political, and cultural …

  • Towards an Indigenous Ecosystem Services Valuation Framework

    Open AccessKamaljit K Sangha, Jeremy Russell-SmithARTICLEConservation and Society2017

    Despite calls by various international agencies, considerable work is still required to understand and incorporate the importance of earth's ecosystems for informing public policies. Savannas comprise nearly one third of global terrestrial ecosystems and support many local and Indigenous communities, but the value of their ecosystem services (ES) is insufficiently understood. This study proposes an integrated ES valuation framework and applies it…
