Forecasting adoption with epidemiological models can enable adaptively scaling out conservation
Scaling Indigenous-led natural resource management
National-level evaluation of a community-based marine management initiative
Territories of life as key to global environmental sustainability
Who's setting the agenda? Philanthropic donor influence in marine conservation
We are in a period of unprecedented growth in conservation philanthropy. How will this influx of private funding affect conservation agendas? Inspired by a collaborative research co-design process, this paper addresses questions about how foundations influence conservation agendas in the places they work. We draw from a case study of the world’s largest philanthropic funder of marine conservation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation and their…

Trends in South Pacific fisheries management
Considering Indigenous Peoples and local communities in governance of the global ocean commons
The United Nations are currently negotiating a new international legally-binding instrument to govern the global ocean commons, a vast area beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) owned by everyone but not cared for by any single entity. Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IPLCs) have been underrepresented in the debate about governance of ABNJ despite their internationally recognized rights and their role as custodians of many globally-signifi…
How conservation initiatives go to scale
Ocean grabbing
The term “ocean grabbing” has been used to describe actions, policies or initiatives that deprive small-scale fishers of resources, dispossess vulnerable populations of coastal lands, and/or undermine historical access to areas of the sea. Rights and access to marine resources and spaces are frequently reallocated through government or private sector initiatives to achieve conservation, management or development objectives with a variety of outco…
Can the IUCN 2008 Protected Areas Management Categories support Pacific island approaches to conservation
Many Pacific island nations lag behind more developed countries with respect to achieving Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) targets for protected area coverage. The modified definition of protected areas under the IUCN's 2008 Guidelines for Applying Protected Area Management Categories offers opportunities for Pacific islands nations to formally recognize indigenous community conserved and locally managed areas under a range of management …
How Global Biodiversity Targets Risk Becoming Counterproductive
Despite the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) defining 20 targets across 5 strategic goals, Target 11, which relates to protected areas, has received the most emphasis from donors, non-government organisations, and governments, as a performance standard for conservation in Melanesia. Protected area targets, however, may not be culturally or technically appropriate for Melanesian countries, such as Papua New Guinea (PNG), where resource ext…
