To burn or not to burn: Governance of wildfires in Australia
Globally, wildfires are increasing in extent, frequency, and severity. Although global climate change is a major driver and large-scale governance interventions are essential, focusing on governance at smaller scales is of great importance for fostering resilience to wildfires. Inherent tensions in managing wildfire risk are evident at such scales, as objectives and mandates may conflict, and trade-offs and impacts vary across ecosystems and comm…
A social impact perspective on the Browse LNG Precinct strategic assessment in Western Australia
The Western Australian (WA) Government wants to construct a large liquid natural gas processing precinct in the remote Kimberley region.

Public perceptions of plant biotechnology--a focus group study
Public perceptions of plant biotechnology—a focus group study
Focus groups were conducted with plant biotechnology researchers, active environmental group members, university students and farmers in central Michigan. The study's objective was to gain a greater understanding of the factors that influence how plant biotechnology and genetically modified foods are viewed by these groups. Participants demonstrated a complex mental picture of plant biotechnology, including many related environmental, socio-econo…
Providing Incentives for Endangered Species Recovery
Although the Endangered Species Act (ESA) explicitly designates the rights of individuals with regard to the protection of listed species, recovery efforts are left largely to the landowner's discretion.

Whereas the ESA explicitly designates the rights and duties of individuals and government agencies with regard to the protection of listed species, it leaves the implementation of recovery efforts largely to the discretion of the landowner. Such a designation of rights creat…
