Practical Turn From Decoloniality to Decolonization
North-South research collaborations continue to be shaped by unequal structures of power, knowledge, and being that reproduce colonial patterns despite growing commitments to decolonization. While decolonial scholarship has provided critical theoretical insights into these asymmetries, practical approaches for operationalizing decoloniality within everyday research collaboration remain limited. This study contributes to bridging this gap by prese…
Institutional settings, power dynamics and motivations in decolonizing North–South research collaborations
This article seeks to inform the quest to decolonize research collaborations between the North (N) and South (S) that started as early as the 1970s, given the prevailing power asymmetries that continue to hinder equitable collaboration. The article is based on a scoping literature review study that sought to interrogate the institutional settings, power dynamics and motivations employed in past and ongoing N–S research collaborations. The search …
Nature's contributions to human well‐being under climate change
Anthropogenic climate change has an unprecedented impact on ecosystems and their services, with severe consequences for human well‐being, particularly for the marginalised and vulnerable members of society in the Global South. The well‐being of communities relies not only on material and regulating services ecosystems provide but also on non‐material services. In this paper, we unravel the diverse ways that climate change impacts affect Nature's …

Mixed impacts of protected areas and a cash crop boom on human well‐being in North‐Eastern Madagascar
Tropical forest frontier areas support the well‐being of local populations in myriad ways. Not only do they provide the material basis for people's livelihoods, they also sustain socio‐cultural foundations through relational values. They host some of the most biodiverse ecosystems and largest carbon stocks on the planet, and are thus a focus of global conservation efforts. They are also a prime location for the production of many global agricultu…
Drivers and consequences of archetypical shifting cultivation transitions
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…
