Anticipatory governance for responsible investment in energy transition minerals in the Western Congo Basin
Energy transition minerals could transform the Western Congo Basin. • Supporting anticipatory governance can guide responsible investment. • Learning from past and emerging initiatives can help to develop capabilities. • Just and sustainable futures require strengthening institutional capability. Demand for Energy Transition Minerals and Metals (ETMs) for clean energy technologies is driving a new wave of investment in mining. Many African countr…
Impacts of Covid-19 pandemic on urban park visitation: A global analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in over 33 million confirmed cases and over 1 million deaths globally, as of 1 October 2020. During the lockdown and restrictions placed on public activities and gatherings, green spaces have become one of the only sources of resilience amidst the coronavirus pandemic, in part because of their positive effects on psychological, physical and social cohesion and spiritual wellness. This study analyzes the impacts …
Developing a set of key performance indicators for monitoring sustainability of forest functions in the Hyrcanian forests
This study identifies key performance indicators for monitoring the sustainability of forest functions in the northern forests of Iran. This process was conducted in two phases through the Delphi method, and Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping (FCM). The Delphi method classified indicators according to two properties, importance and measurability. These were used to identify four classes: (a) important and measurable, (b) important and less measurable, (c) l…
Adapting forest management to climate change: Experiences of the Nisga'a people
This study examines and characterizes the potential impacts of climate change on the lands of the Nisga'a Nation in British Columbia, Canada, and how these impacts might affect traditional forest practices. The study results were integrated with a review of current Nisga'a forest policy. The current forest policy has developed an inflexible approach to forest management that perpetuates a top-down decision-making framework inherited from the past…
The state of Canada's forests: A global comparison of the performance on Montréal Process Criteria and Indicators
Technical efficiency analysis of the conversion of cropland to forestland program in Jiangxi, Shaanxi, and Sichuan
Conversion of Cropland to Forestland Program (CCFP) has greatly impacted China’s agricultural sector, and more specifically rural farmers. While changes in living standards as a result of the implementation of the CCFP have been analyzed, little research has been conducted regarding the impacts of such policies on farming operations. As agriculture contributes nearly 10% of national GDP, it is important to analyze the implications of policies on …
Conservation equity for local communities in the process of tourism development in protected areas: A study of Jiuzhaigou Biosphere Reserve, China
Developing Human Well-being Domains, Metrics and Indicators in an Ecosystem-Based Management Context in Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, Canada
Ecosystem-based management (EBM) encompasses both ecological integrity and human well-being, although it remains unclear how human well-being should be measured in an EBM context. Despite efforts to view EBM holistically, the human component is often overlooked or reduced to economic indicators that do not capture the full range of values held by the people affected by EBM policies. This study explored human well-being metrics of importance to lo…

Awareness of Aesthetic and Other Forest Values: The Role of Forestry Knowledge and Education
Within sustainable forest management (SFM), there has been a much greater emphasis on environmental and economic values than on social values, especially aesthetics. In order to assess the relative importance of people's aesthetic values, we administered public surveys to nonforestry students and to forestry graduate students in the Republic of Korea and Canada. We aimed to identify differences in the perceived importance of forest aesthetic and …

Public Awareness and Perceptions of Watershed Management in the Min River Area, Fujian, China
With the increasing magnitude and frequency of natural disasters in China, environmental issues are of major concern to governments and the general public. Using questionnaire surveys, we examined public perceptions of environmental problems resulting from economic development in the Min River Watershed, China. This study found that public awareness and understanding of environmental issues were high. Two major concerns identified were water poll…

Adapting to Climate Change in the Southwest Yukon: Locally Identified Research and Monitoring Needs to Support Decision Making on Sustainable Forest Management
In a community-directed forest management context, research is needed that will help both the managers of forest resources and the community residents who set forest management directions to consider climate change in their decision making. Specific research needed in light of climate change to support implementation of the forest management plan for the Champagne and Aishihik Traditional Territory, southwest Yukon, was identified through 1) sess…

High-altitude and high-latitude tree growth in relation to past, present and future global climate change
Recent dendroecological studies indicate that the growth rates of trees at some high-latitude and high-altitude sites are increasing. The date of the onset of increased growth is variable ranging from AD 1850 to 1940, with more recent increases occurring in less climatically-stressed areas. The growth data are supported by studies of tree-line dynamics which indicate that many northern and alpine tree- lines have advanced within the last 100 year…

Dating Exposed Rock Surfaces in the Arctic by Lichenometry: The Problem of Thallus Circularity and Its Effect on Measurement Errors
Lichenometry represents an extremely useful dating technique in the Arctic. It is most appropriate for exposed rock surfaces, which are abundant in most arctic environments, and on occasion it represents the only suitable technique for estimating the age of a surface. As a result, lichenometry is being used in an increasing number of arctic studies. Despite this, controversy still surrounds the manner in which individual thalli are measured. The …
