The conversion of rubber to oil palm and other landcover types in Southeast Asia
The role of urban nature experiences in sustainable consumption: A transboundary urban ecosystem service
Exploring the role of boundary work in a social-ecological synthesis initiative
Inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration in environmental studies faces the challenge of communicating across disciplines to reach a common understanding of scientific problems and solutions in a changing world. One way to address current pressing environmental challenges is to employ a boundary work approach that uses activities across borders of separated field of research. But how can this look like in practice? In this research brief, we se…
Global variation in contributions to human well-being from urban vegetation ecosystem services
Peatland restoration as an affordable nature-based climate solution with fire reduction and conservation co-benefits in Indonesia
Ecosystem restoration is increasingly employed as a nature-based solution to a range of crises. Decisions over restoration must balance limited resources, land constraints, and competing demands. Peatlands in Southeast Asia have been heavily impacted by agricultural expansion over the past three decades, with Indonesia now accounting for a substantial proportion of degraded tropical peatlands globally. Using spatial linear programming, we focus o…
Spatiotemporal analysis of deforestation patterns and drivers reveals emergent threats to tropical forest landscapes
As deforestation breaches into new tropical frontiers, proactive conservation strategies require a trifecta of information on where deforestation is accelerating (emergent), how drivers of deforestation vary spatiotemporally, and where to focus limited conservation resources in protecting the most integral yet threatened forested landscapes. Here we introduce Emergent Threat Analysis, a process integrating Emerging Hot Spot Analysis of deforestat…

Factors influencing nature interactions vary between cities and types of nature interactions
There is mounting concern that people living more urbanised, modern lifestyles have fewer and lower quality interactions with nature, and therefore have limited access to the associated health and well‐being benefits. Yet, variation in the different types of nature interactions and the factors that influence these interactions across populations are poorly understood. We compared four types of nature interactions by administering surveys across t…
Health and Wellbeing Benefits from Nature Experiences in Tropical Settings Depend on Strength of Connection to Nature
A growing number of policies and programmes in cities aim to increase the time people spend in nature for the health and wellbeing benefits delivered by such interactions. Yet, there is little research investigating the extent to which, and for whom, nature experiences deliver such benefits outside Europe, North America, and Australia. Here, we assessed the relationships between nature dose (frequency, duration, and intensity) and three mental we…
Reduced deforestation and degradation in Indigenous Lands pan-tropically
Cooperating with the future through natural resources restoration
Telecoupled environmental impacts are an obstacle to meeting the sustainable development goals
International trade is responsible for connecting human and natural systems across distant countries, and has profound implications for sustainability. In particular, telecoupling, the socioeconomic and environmental interactions between distant countries as a result of, among others, global trade, typically leaves less affluent nations bearing the largest environmental impacts. Telecoupling effects are likely to be pervasive to those trying to a…
Drivers of deforestation and degradation for 28 tropical conservation landscapes
A big-data analysis of human-nature relations in newspaper coverage
Life satisfaction linked to the diversity of nature experiences and nature views from the window
No evidence of an extinction of experience or emotional disconnect from nature in urban Singapore
It is widely believed that people living in cities have fewer and poorer daily experiences of nature, and that this contributes to the biodiversity crisis on the basis that if people do not know nature, they will not care for its conservation. In 1978, Pyle coined the term ‘extinction of experience’ to reflect the loss of opportunities to experience nature as urbanization progresses. However, evidence of an emotional disconnect from nature arisin…
Environmental destruction not avoided with the Sustainable Development Goals
Land rents drive oil palm expansion dynamics in Indonesia
Increasing global demand for oil palm drives its expansion across the tropics, at the expense of forests and biodiversity. Little is known of the dynamics that shape the spread of oil palm, limiting our potential to predict areas vulnerable to future crop expansion and its resulting biodiversity impacts. Critically, studies have not related oil palm expansion to the role of agricultural rent and profitability in explaining how and where oil palm …
Green without envy: How social capital alleviates tensions from a Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) program in Indonesia
McGrath, F., J. T. Erbaugh, B. Leimona, S. Amaruzaman, N. P. Rahadian, and L. Carrasco. 2018. Green without envy: how social capital alleviates tensions from a Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) program in Indonesia. Ecology and Society 23(4):10. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-10181-230410
Auction winning, social dynamics and non-compliance in a payment for ecosystem services scheme in Indonesia
Biodiversity conservation in a telecoupled world
The environmental and socioeconomic interactions between distant regions of the world ("telecoupling") are dramatically increasing. Telecoupling brings about new challenges and opportunities to biodiversity conservation that are of a larger magnitude and of a faster pace than ever observed before. Our understanding of the dynamics and leverage points of this telecoupled world is however limited. It is thus important to take stock of what we know …
