The futility and fatality of incremental action: Motivations and barriers among undergraduates for environmental action that matters
Addressing Estrangement from Nature with a Night Class in the Forest
Young people today spend relatively little time in natural environments, and this can lead to problems when they enter college degree programs in environmental studies or sciences. We designed a field course to reconnect undergraduates with nature through focused exercises in wilderness survival. This course integrates multiple learning domains, with a primary focus on the affective. In this case study, we narrate the story of one exercise deploy…
The emergence of cannabis agriculture frontiers as environmental threats
On agricultural frontiers, minimal regulation and potential windfall profits drive opportunistic land use that often results in environmental damage. Cannabis, an increasingly decriminalized agricultural commodity in many places throughout the world, may now be creating new agricultural frontiers. We examined how cannabis frontiers have boomed in northern California, one of the United States' leading production areas. From 2012-2016 cannabis farm…
The practice and promise of private land conservation
In many countries around the globe, private freehold lands cover large areas. Conservation on these private lands, next to statutory protected areas, promises to play a critical role in efforts for reaching internationally agreed environmental protection targets. Lying at the heart of an emerging land system science, in which ecology, economics, geography, psychology, and other social sciences interact, private land conservation is reflecting the…
Inside the Emerald Triangle: Modeling the Placement and Size of Cannabis Production in Humboldt County, CA USA
Cannabis ( Cannabis sativa or C. indica ) agriculture and the environment: A systematic, spatially-explicit survey and potential impacts
Cannabis agriculture is a multi-billion dollar industry in the United States that is changing rapidly with policy liberalization. Anecdotal observations fuel speculation about associated environmental impacts, and there is an urgent need for systematic empirical research. An example from Humboldt County California, a principal cannabis-producing region, involved digitizing 4428 grow sites in 60 watersheds with Google Earth imagery. Grows were clu…
Perpetual private land conservation: The Case for Outdoor Recreation and Functional Leisure

Land use determines interest in conservation easements among private landowners
Political Ecologies of Cattle Ranching in Northern Mexico: Private Revolutions. By Eric P. Perramond
POLITICAL ECOLOGIES OF CATTLE RANCHING IN NORTHERN MEXICO: Private Revolutions. By ERIC P. PERRAMOND. xvi and 259 pp.; maps, bibliog., index. Tucson: University of Arizona Press, 2010. $35.00 (cloth), ISBN 9780816527212. Cattle production today is recognized as a force driving global environmental change, and in Mexico's arid northern state of Sonora cattle ranching is king, covering upward of 85 percent of the landscape. In many ways Sonora's en…
Pasture Conversion, Private Ranchers, and the Invasive Exotic Buffelgrass ( Pennisetum ciliare ) in Mexico's Sonoran Desert
This research examines the role of private ranchers in Sonora, Mexico, in regional-scale landscape change involving an invasive species. The arid rangelands of Sonora are a center of modern commercial cattle ranching, where the exotic buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare) is the favored species for the extensive conversion of native range vegetation to pasture. The land management decisions of private ranchers, the primary agents of pasture conversion…
What Drives the Conversion of Native Rangeland to Buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare) Pasture in Mexico's Sonoran Desert: The Social Dimensions of a Biological Invasion
