Is population growth a threat to agriculture? Perceptions in rural Kenya
Protected and conversed areas in a changing world: Key themes for a global response
Much has changed in the ambition for and challenges to protected and conserved areas since the last IUCN World Parks Congress in 2014. As such, the IUCN World Protected and Conserved Areas Congress 2027 (WPC27) will be a critical milestone for global conservation, arriving at a time of ecological urgency and profound societal shifts. WPC27 will be organised around three integrated themes, each designed for their transformative potential: 1) Globa…

Covid-19 lockdowns: Employment and business disruptions, water access and hygiene practices in Nairobi's informal settlements
Importance of Indigenous Peoples’ lands for the conservation of Intact Forest Landscapes
Intact Forest Landscapes ( IFL s) are critical strongholds for the environmental services that they provide, not least for their role in climate protection. On the basis of information about the distributions of IFL s and Indigenous Peoples’ lands, we examined the importance of these areas for conserving the world's remaining intact forests. We determined that at least 36% of IFL s are within Indigenous Peoples’ lands, making these areas crucial …
Understanding social and environmental determinants of piecework labor in smallholder agricultural systems
Formal/informal employment and urban food security in Sub-Saharan Africa
Variability in urban population distributions across Africa
Africa is projected to add one billion urban residents by 2050. Yet developing sustainable solutions to tackle the host of challenges posed by rapid urban population growth is stymied by a lack municipality-level population data across the continent. To fill this gap, we intersect volunteered urban settlement data from OpenStreetMap with five synthetic gridded population datasets to estimate the how Africa’s urban population is distributed among …
The exceptional value of intact forest ecosystems
Household-level heterogeneity of water resources within common-pool resource systems

Polycentric Governance and Irrigation Reform in K enya
In K enya, as in many developing countries, centralized control over water resources was implemented to improve agricultural productivity. By the 1980s, however, K enya's postindependence policies of bureaucratic control were in disarray, and conflicts over water use were common. More recently, K enya has embarked on a series of reforms that create a polycentric approach to water governance, in which decision making about water resources is share…
What incentivizes local forest conservation efforts? Evidence from Bolivia
Efforts to promote forest conservation have focused on two separate types of policy reforms. Decentralization reforms have attempted to make local forest governance more accountable to demands from voters. Meanwhile, Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) schemes like the REDD program (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) have sought to use economic incentives to promote conservation. These programs make different assumptio…

A tale of two villages: An investigation of conservation-driven land tenure reform in a Cambodian Protection Forest
In this paper, we present an analysis of the change in household land use following a conservation-driven process of indigenous land titling reform in a Cambodian protected area. In each of the two study villages, we investigated how household land use had changed and the extent of compliance with both legal boundaries of titled areas and community regulations created to govern land use within these areas. A comparison of current household land h…

"The cultural industries and a model of sustainable regeneration: "Manufacturing "pop' in the Rhondda Valleys of South Wales
Many UK cities that experienced industrial decline during the 1980s and 1990s have turned increasingly to the cultural industries and the production of consumer culture in an effort to diversify local economies and rebuild local communities. This paper attempts to synthesize a range of academic literature addressing the role of the cultural industries in delivering sustainable regeneration. Literature from geography, leisure studies, tourism stud…
Toward Just Sustainability in Urban Communities: Building Equity Rights with Sustainable Solutions
Two concepts that provide new directions for public policy, environmental justice and sustainability, are both highly contested. Each has tremendous potential to effect long-lasting change. Despite the historically different origins of these two concepts and their attendant movements, there exists an area of theoretical compatibility between them. This conceptual overlap is a critical nexus for a broad social movement to create livable, sustainab…
The Polar Bear Management Agreement for the Southern Beaufort Sea: An Evaluation of the First Ten Years of a Unique Conservation Agreement
Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) of the southern Beaufort Sea population, distributed from approximately Icy Cape, west of Point Barrow, Alaska, to Pearce Point, east of Paulatuk in Canada, are harvested by hunters from both countries. In Canada, quotas to control polar bear hunting have been in place, with periodic modifications, since 1968. In Alaska, passage of the United Sates Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) of 1972 banned polar bear hunting…
