Pathways for Ukraine’s post-war nature recovery: Focus on forest socio-ecological systems
Natural ecosystems face significant pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and increasing socio-economic and political stressors—all of which are exacerbated by military conflict. This paper focuses on Ukraine and examines the root causes of disturbances in the country’s forest socio-ecological systems (SES), as well as the impacts of the ongoing war, to identify recovery pathways. Using a multi-method approach, we assess factors affect…
Overview of evidence on mechanisms affecting the outcomes of terrestrial multiple-use protected areas
Whose perspective counts? A critical look at definitions of terms used for natural and near-natural forests
The way forests are defined, using terms such as ancient, old-growth, primary, sacred, or intact forest landscapes, has far-reaching impacts on how, why, and where forests are conserved and managed. Definitions of terms such as ''old-growth forests'' have been discussed individually but not collectively assessed. Here, we review the definitions and uses of terms associated with natural and near-natural forests using systematic mapping methods and…
Structuring the complexity of integrated landscape approaches into selectable, scalable, and measurable attributes
Integrated landscape approaches (ILA) aim to reconcile multiple, often competing, interests across agriculture, nature conservation, and other land uses. Recognized ILA design principles provide guidance for implementation, yet application remains challenging, and a strong performance evidence-base is yet to be formed. Through a critical literature review and focus group discussions with practitioners, we identified considerable diversity of ILA …
Where Forest Policy and Social Support Collide: Perceptions and Knowledge of Landholders About Forest Management in Central Chile
Strategy games to improve environmental policymaking
The Global Forest Transition as a Human Affair
Forests across the world stand at a crossroads where climate and land-use changes are shaping their future. Despite demonstrations of political will and global efforts, forest loss, fragmentation, and degradation continue unabated. No clear evidence exists to suggest that these initiatives are working. A key reason for this apparent ineffectiveness could lie in the failure to recognize the agency of all stakeholders involved. Landscapes do not ha…
The global tree restoration potential
The potential for global forest cover The restoration of forested land at a global scale could help capture atmospheric carbon and mitigate climate change. Bastin et al. used direct measurements of forest cover to generate a model of forest restoration potential across the globe (see the Perspective by Chazdon and Brancalion). Their spatially explicit maps show how much additional tree cover could exist outside of existing forests and agricultura…

Learning Begins When the Game Is Over: Using Games to Embrace Complexity in Natural Resources Management
We use games in the classroom to allow students to embrace the complexities of ecosystem management, and to foster adaptation and creativity. The experience of gaming will ensure the lessons drawn during the game and the after-action discussions will not be easily forgotten. With a skilled team of facilitators, few other approaches to teaching can match the immersive qualities of gaming

Schooling and Local Knowledge for Collecting Wild Honey inSouthIndia: Balancing Multifaceted Educations
For indigenous populations, schooling and local knowledge systems may be at odds. Understanding indigenous learning systems can help mitigate conflicts between acquisition of local ecological knowledge and academic knowledge. Among boys and men of the Jenu Kuruba of SouthIndia, we compare levels of schooling and local knowledge related to wild honey collection, a central domain of male local ecological knowledge. For boys, school attendance, but …
What Defines Quality of Life? The Gap Between Public Policies and Locally Defined Indicators Among Residents of Kodagu, Karnataka (India)
Ten principles for a landscape approach to reconciling agriculture, conservation, and other competing land uses
“Landscape approaches” seek to provide tools and concepts for allocating and managing land to achieve social, economic, and environmental objectives in areas where agriculture, mining, and other productive land uses compete with environmental and biodiversity goals. Here we synthesize the current consensus on landscape approaches. This is based on published literature and a consensus-building process to define good practice and is validated by a …

La forêt a reculé au profit des plantations, le couvert arboré riche en espèces natives est progressivement remplacé par une espèce exotique et les conflits avec la faune se font plus fréquents.

Geographical Indications and Biodiversity in the Western Ghats, India: Can Labeling Benefit Producers and the Environment in a Mountain Agroforestry Landscape
A geographical indication (GI) is a form of protection highlighted in the Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement of the World Trade Organization (WTO). It protects intangible economic assets such as the quality and reputation of a product through market differentiation. It is considered a promising tool at the international level to maintain multifunctionality in rural landscapes and involve local populations in b…
