  • Community-based management expands ecosystem protection footprint in Amazonian forests

    Open AccessAna Carla Rodrigues, Hugo C M Costa et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2025Referencias: 6

    Community-based conservation has gained traction in the Brazilian Amazon because of its potential in combining territorial protection, local well-being and biodiversity conservation. We assessed the footprint of effective protection, areas actively monitored and defended through community-led surveillance, where illegal activities such as poaching, fishing and logging are successfully prevented, within the largest community-based fisheries conser…

  • Assessing the political vulnerability of National Parks in sub‐Saharan Africa using data on digital trends and engagement

    Open AccessKaroline Azevedo, Fernanda Alves‐Martins et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2024

    National Parks (NPs) and other protected areas in sub‐Saharan Africa are crucial in attracting international tourists interested in wildlife tourism, contributing to national economies. Despite their cultural, economic, and conservation significance, these areas face diverse development threats, leading to pressures for protected area downgrading, downsizing, or degazettement (known as PADDD). We comprehensively analyse the geographical, historic…

  • Language-specific hotspots of interest in IUCN Red Listed terrestrial mammals

    Open AccessMika Siljander, Enrico Di Minin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2024

    Biodiversity conservation continues to be a global priority and insights into societal interest and support for targeted species conservation actions are essential for their success. Taking advantage of emerging culturomics methods, here we propose a new methodology for mapping societal interest towards terrestrial mammals by combining the IUCN Red List range maps with indicators of societal interest towards species derived from Wikipedia pagevie…

  • Keep your distance

    Open AccessGaspard Van Hamme, Magdalena S Svensson et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2021

    Mountain gorilla Gorilla beringei beringei trekking is a substantial source of revenue for the conservation of this threatened primate and its habitat. Trekking, however, may pose a threat of human‐to‐gorilla disease transmission that could have disastrous effects on wild gorillas. We used 858 photographs posted on Instagram in 2013–2019 to analyse the proximity of tourists visiting mountain gorillas in the wild. We classified photographs of the …

  • A place‐based participatory mapping approach for assessing cultural ecosystem services in urban green space

    Open AccessLizzie P Jones, Robert A Holland et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2020

    Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) encompass a range of social, cultural and health benefits to local communities, for example recreation, spirituality, a sense of place and local identity. However, these complex and place‐specific CES are often overlooked in rapid land management decisions and assessed using broad, top–down approaches. We use the Toolkit for Ecosystem Service Site‐based Assessment (TESSA) to examine a novel approach to rapid asse…

  • Cultural ecosystem services and decision‐making

    Open AccessR K Gould, Joshua W Morse et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2019

    Cultural ecosystem services (CES) are some of the most difficult ecosystem services (ES) to characterize and connect to specific ecosystem processes. Given their connections to human emotion, deep meaning, fulfilment and motivation, they are also crucial for human well‐being. Scholars have published hundreds of peer‐reviewed articles addressing CES in myriad ways. In this systematic review, we analyse 232 peer‐reviewed articles on CES and examine…

  • A culturomics approach to quantifying the salience of species on the global internet

    Open AccessRichard J Ladle, Paul Jepson et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2019

    Conservation will only be successful over the long term if people support conservation goals. While many factors may influence the level of such support, it is clear that people are more willing to conserve species and places that they are familiar with and which provide them with something they value. Until now this dimension has been largely lacking from conservation decision‐making and its underlying scientific evidence base. This is understan…

  • Modelling Local Attitudes to Protected Areas in Developing Countries

    Open AccessChiara Bragagnolo, AnaC M Malhado et al.ARTICLEConservation and Society2016

    During a time of intensifying competition for land, Protected Areas (PAs) are coming under increasing pressure to justify their status. Positive local attitudes to a PA are a potentially important component of any such justification, especially in the developing world where human pressure on natural resources is often high. However, despite numerous studies our understanding of what drives positive attitudes to PAs is still exceedingly limited. H…

  • Riverine fishers' knowledge of extreme climatic events in the Brazilian Amazonia

    Open AccessAna Isabel Camacho Guerreiro, Richard J Ladle et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnobiology and…2016Citada por: 6Referencias: 55

    BACKGROUND: Climate change is altering climate patterns, mainly increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme events with potentially serious impacts on natural resources and the people that use them. Adapting to such impacts will require the integration of scientific and local (folk) knowledge, especially the first-hand experiences and perceptions of resource users such as fishers. In this study, we identify how commercial riverine fishers i…

  • Nature apps

    Open AccessPaul Jepson, Richard J LadleARTICLEAMBIO2015Citada por: 6Referencias: 12

    Apps are small task-orientated programs with the potential to integrate the computational and sensing capacities of smartphones with the power of cloud computing, social networking, and crowdsourcing. They have the potential to transform how humans interact with nature, cause a step change in the quantity and resolution of biodiversity data, democratize access to environmental knowledge, and reinvigorate ways of enjoying nature. To assess the ext…

AMBIO 41: 769–772. doi:10.1007/s13280-012-0339-5. Writing in Ambio, Bortolus (2012) recently argued that many non-native English-speaking environmental scientists invest a disproportionate amount of time in over-coming language barriers, limiting the impact of their research, and constraining t…

  • The Demise of the Golden Toad and the Creation of a Climate Change Icon Species

    Open AccessLeticia M Ochoa‐Ochoa, LeticiaM Ochoa-Ochoa et al.ARTICLEConservation and Society2013

    There is an unavoidable degree of uncertainty associated with future climate projections, and even more unpredictability about the potential impact of different climate scenarios on the ecology and distribution of organisms. Conservationists face a major public communications challenge to both raise awareness and mobilise support for conservation and climate change mitigation/adaptation policies while realistically representing complex and uncert…
