Eco‐anxiety in Tampa Bay
As the environmental crisis grows, concerns over its impact on mental health are rising. A growing body of research is investigating novel ecological emotions, with eco‐anxiety garnering significant attention. Yet much of the discourse has centred around clinical implications, leaving environmental practitioners feeling powerless to address experiences of eco‐anxiety within their community. This study contributes to the emerging work on eco‐anxie…
China’s global development finance poses heterogeneous risks to coastal and marine socio-ecological systems
Psychosocial drivers of land management behaviour
Effectiveness of regulatory policy in curbing deforestation in a biodiversity hotspot
Recent rates of deforestation on private lands in Australia rival deforestation hotspots around the world, despite conservation policies in place to avert deforestation. This study uses causal impact estimation techniques to determine if a controversial conservation policy-the Vegetation Management Act (VMA)-has successfully reduced deforestation of remnant trees in the Brigalow Belt South, a 21.6 Mha biodiversity hotspot in Queensland. We use co…
Frequent policy uncertainty can negate the benefits of forest conservation policy
Policy-driven shifts from net deforestation to forest expansion are being stimulated by increasing social preferences for forest ecosystem services. However, policy uncertainty can disrupt or reverse the positive effects of forest transitions. For instance, if the loss of remnant (primary) forest continues, the ecological benefits of net forest gains may be small. We investigated how peak periods of uncertainty in forest conservation policy affec…
Spatial and temporal patterns of land clearing during policy change
Environmental policies and regulations have been instrumental in influencing deforestation rates around the world. Understanding how these policies change stakeholder behaviours is critical for determining policy impact. In Queensland, Australia, changes in native vegetation management policy seem to have influenced land clearing behaviour of landholders. Periods of peak clearing rates have been associated with periods preceding the introduction …
