  • Understanding pastoralist adaptations to drought via games and choice experiments

    Open AccessAndrew Bell, Andrew Reid Bell et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2025

    Transhumant and nomadic pastoralism in arid and semi-arid spaces from West through Central, East, and Southern Africa is regarded as critical to regional system resilience and food security. Although pastoral systems are highly adapted and adaptive to uncertainty and change, recent decades of severe climatic events and increasing resource pressure are pushing pastoral systems to adopt novel norms and practices. Importantly, forage residue conserv…

  • Drivers and consequences of archetypical shifting cultivation transitions

    Open AccessDominic A Martin, Jorge C Llopis et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2023

    Shifting cultivation remains an important land system in many tropical landscapes, but transitions away from shifting cultivation are increasingly common. So far, our knowledge on the social–economic and environmental drivers and consequences of such shifting cultivation transitions is incomplete, focusing on certain transitions, drivers, consequences or regions. Here, we use an archetype approach, validated through systematically identified lite…

  • An experimental game to examine pastoralists' preferences for human–lion coexistence strategies

    Open AccessRebecca Sargent, O Sarobidy Rakotonarivo et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2022

    Reconciling conflicts between wildlife conservation and other human activities is a pervasive, multifaceted issue. Large carnivores, such as the African lion Panthera leo are often the focus of such conflicts as they have significant ecological and cultural value but impose severe social and financial costs on the communities that live alongside them. To effectively manage human–lion conflict, it is vital to understand stakeholder decision‐making…

  • Elevated fires during Covid-19 lockdown and the vulnerability of protected areas

    Open AccessJohanna Eklund, Julia P G Jones et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2022Cited by: 5

    There is little robust, quantitative information on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the extinction crisis. Focusing on Madagascar, one of the world’s most threatened biodiversity hotspots, we explore whether the cessation of on-site protected-area management activities due to the pandemic were associated with increased burning inside protected areas. We identify monthly excess fire anomalies by comparing observed fires with those predicte…

  • Experimental evidence for conservation conflict interventions

    Open AccessO Sarobidy Rakotonarivo, Isabel L Jones et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2021

    Conflicts between the objectives of agricultural production and conservation are becoming increasingly complex. Of vital importance to the success of conflict interventions is a detailed understanding of how stakeholders react to management interventions as well as the influence of interacting social and political factors. Across Europe, goose populations have increased considerably, leading to widespread impacts on agriculture and significant co…

  • Estimating welfare impacts where property rights are contested

    Open AccessO Sarobidy Rakotonarivo, Jette B Jacobsen et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2018Cited by: 3References: 44

    Where rights over natural resources are contested, the effectiveness of conservation may be undermined and it can be difficult to estimate the welfare impacts of conservation restrictions on local people. In particular, researchers face the dilemma of estimating respondents’ Willingness To Pay (WTP) for rights to resources, or their Willingness To Accept (WTA) compensation for foregoing these rights. We conducted a discrete choice experiment with…

  • Qualitative and Quantitative Evidence on the True Local Welfare Costs of Forest Conservation in Madagascar

    Open AccessO Sarobidy Rakotonarivo, Jette B Jacobsen et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2017Cited by: 9References: 10

    Protected areas may impose local welfare costs through the enforcement of use restrictions. Predicting their welfare impacts before their establishment could help with the design of compensation schemes. Discrete choice experiments (DCEs) are increasingly used for ex ante evaluations but their validity is largely untested in low-income settings. Using a case study of a new REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation) proje…

  • Can Redd+ social safeguards reach the ‘right’ people? Lessons from Madagascar

    Open AccessMahesh Poudyal, Bruno Ramamonjisoa et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2016Cited by: 16References: 8

    There is extensive debate about the potential impact of the climate mechanism REDD+ on the welfare of forest-dwelling people. To provide emission reductions, REDD+ must slow the rate of deforestation and forest degradation: such a change will tend to result in local opportunity cost to farmers at the forest frontier. Social safeguard processes to mitigate negative impacts of REDD+ are being developed and can learn from existing safeguard procedur…
