Human–nature relationships through the lens of reciprocity: Insights from Indigenous and local knowledge systems
In the context of climate change, biodiversity decline and social injustice, reciprocity emerges as a way of living and being in this world that holds transformative potential. Concepts of reciprocity vary and are enacted in specific cultural practices grounded in Indigenous and local knowledge systems. This editorial synthesises first‐hand evidence of how practising reciprocity can result in positive reciprocal contributions between people and n…
Changes in the users of the social‐ecological system around a reciprocal human‐dolphin relationship
In contrast to many contemporary negative human‐nature relationships, Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities have stewarded nature through cultural practices that include reciprocal contributions for both humans and nature. A rare example is the century‐old artisanal fishery in which net‐casting fishers and wild dolphins benefit by working together, but little is known about the persistence of the social‐ecological system formed around this cul…
Navigating transdisciplinary waters to protect both sharks and bathers in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa: Diverse Stakeholders Propose Potential Actions
In human–wildlife conflicts, stakeholders have varied perspectives, and improving mutual understanding of these perspectives may improve conservation outcomes. Positive outcomes are more likely if scientists work in the research-implementation space, embedding themselves in collaborative social and decision-making processes. We aimed to do this in the bather–shark conflict in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, where lethal methods are used to reduce th…
Stakeholder perceptions reveal obstacles and opportunities to change lethal methods of protecting bathers from sharks
Bather protection gear—shark nets and baited hooks—is set to catch and kill sharks to protect bathers at popular swimming beaches. This lethal practice contributes to human well-being and safeguards beach tourism, a valuable income-generator. However, it is costly—financially and environmentally. Here we identify obstacles and opportunities to change this lethal method of bather protection in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, by assessing the knowledg…
The ecology and evolution of human‐wildlife cooperation
Human‐wildlife cooperation is a type of mutualism in which a human and a wild, free‐living animal actively coordinate their behaviour to achieve a common beneficial outcome. While other cooperative human‐animal interactions involving captive coercion or artificial selection (including domestication) have received extensive attention, we lack integrated insights into the ecology and evolution of human‐wildlife cooperative interactions. Here, we re…
The ability of artisanal fishers to recognize the dolphins they cooperate with
Background Human-animal interactions with mutual benefits in the wild are rare. Such positive interactions seem to require an intricate knowledge from the human side on the animals' behavior and their habitat. In southern Brazil, dolphins and human net-casting fishers have specialized in a cooperative foraging, in which fishers report being able to identify and name dolphins. Here, we evaluate the consensus in their ability to recognize the indiv…
