Multifaceted landscapes for grassland restoration: Exploring individual perceptions on grasslands through photovoice
Reconnecting humans and nature, along with reversing the trend of biodiversity loss, are among the most pressing challenges of our times. Grassland restoration offers a promising pathway to halt and reverse biodiversity decline. Since local people are central to maintaining biodiversity and equally benefit from nature, transdisciplinary and social-ecological approaches to restoration are key to achieving sustainable outcomes. These approaches go …
A multi-layered values-based approach to advance social-ecological restoration: Insights from real-world laboratories in Germany
Calls for social-ecological restoration have emerged to help transcend traditional ecological boundaries by including plural values as well as transdisciplinary processes. Inspired by the IPBES values typology, we used questionnaires to assess four multi-layered perspectives characterizing local actors in two transdisciplinary grassland restoration projects in Germany: Broad values, specific values, knowledge, and visions for restoration outcomes…
Weaving values, knowledge and context to care for human–nature relationships in protected areas
Transformative change necessitates a profound shift in how people relate to, understand, value and envision landscapes to find effective pathways for conservation science and practice. In response, we examined the relationships among broad values—biospheric, altruistic and egoistic—that work in conjunction with ecological knowledge acquisition and social–ecological contextual factors to explain specific values assigned to landscapes, visions for …
Navigating across individual and deliberative values: A dual Q‐method approach to elicit diverse values in grassland restoration
The current ‘UN Decade on Restoration’ calls for collaboration between scientists and practitioners to formulate guidelines for ecosystem restoration, within which transdisciplinary approaches are imperative to rethink the diverse values associated with nature, paving the way for sustainable ecosystem restoration. In our study, conducted within a real‐world laboratory for grassland restoration in Germany, we employed an individual and a deliberat…
How methods influence nature's values we find – A comparison of three elicitation methods
Recent research has called for eliciting plural values of nature, yet little is known on how the choice of methods impacts the different values elicited. Drawing on the notion of methods as value-articulating institutions and using grasslands restoration as a case study, we explored how different elicitation methods influence people's value expressions towards grasslands. We did so in three different ways: (i) comparing values between elicitation…
Broad values as the basis for understanding deliberation about protected area management
Disentangling the practice of landscape approaches: A Q-method analysis on experiences in socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes
Landscape approaches are gaining momentum in both scientific and policy agendas. However, landscape approaches comprise a multitude of concepts, approaches and principles, which are in part similar, in some parts different or even contradictory. In this paper, we used a Q-method questionnaire to explore how landscape approaches are understood and employed in 45 case studies of socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes derived from the …
Navigating tensions in inclusive conservation: Learning from the Utrechtse Heuvelrug National Park in the Netherlands
Inclusive conservation is promoted as a means to integrate stakeholders in nature, conservation. Despite several studies recognizing that inclusive conservation of protected areas may be challenging and requires explicitly addressing potential tensions between stakeholders, little research has unpacked how these tensions manifest in specific contexts. This paper aims to explore possible approaches for navigating tensions to improve the facilitati…
Visualizing stakeholders' willingness for collective action in participatory scenario planning
Participatory scenario planning is a powerful approach to guide diverse stakeholders in creating and reflecting on visions of plausible and desired futures. However, this process requires tools to guide collective action to implement such visions within management agendas. This study develops, applies, and analyzes a novel visual tool within a virtual participatory scenario planning process about the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park (Madrid, Sp…
Leverage points and levers of inclusive conservation in protected areas
Inclusive conservation approaches that effectively conserve biodiversity while improving human well-being are gaining traction in the face of the sixth mass extinction of biodiversity. Despite much theorization on the governance of inclusive conservation, empirical research on its practical implementation is urgently needed. Here, using a correlation network analysis and drawing on empirical results from 263 sites described on the web platform of…
The relationship between values and knowledge in visioning for landscape management: Relevance for a collaborative approach
Respecting connections between the diversity of values and forms of knowledge is essential to support a decision-making that fosters relationships between ecosystems and people. However, little theory has been developed for clarifying interactions between values and knowledge, and their relevance for environmental policy. We surfaced the overlooked relationship between values and knowledge by studying individual cognitive and emotional processes …
How stable are visions for protected area management? Stakeholder perspectives before and during a pandemic
Envisioning processes enable protected area managers to chart a course for future management to reach desired goals, but unexpected changes that could affect future visions are not usually considered. The global COVID‐19 pandemic provided an opportunity to explore changes in stakeholder visions, the values that underpin the visions, and their perceptions of landscape changes and the underlying drivers (e.g. climate change, mass tourism and demogr…
Perceived inclusivity and trust in protected area management decisions among stakeholders in Alaska
The success of conservation initiatives often depends on the inclusion of diverse stakeholder interests in the decision‐making process. Yet, there is a paucity of empirical knowledge concerning the factors that explain why stakeholders do—or do not— believe that they are meaningfully represented by government agencies. Our study provides insight into the relationship between trust and stakeholder perceptions of inclusivity in public land manageme…
Inclusive conservation and the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework: Tensions and prospects
The draft Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework commits to achievement of equity and justice outcomes and represents a ‘‘relational turn’’ in how we understand inclusive conservation. Although ‘‘inclusivity’’ is drawn on as a means to engage diverse stakeholders, widening the framing of inclusivity can create new tensions with regard to how to manage protected areas. We first offer a set of tensions that emerge in the light of the relational tu…
Values shift in response to social learning through deliberation about protected areas
Delineating participation in conservation governance: Insights from the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park (Spain)
The active participation of local stakeholders in governing protected areas is increasingly recognized in biodiversity conservation. While progress has been made in countries to facilitate inclusivity in conservation decision-making, there is limited practical guidance of participatory mechanisms enabling stakeholder engagement. Disentangling formal and informal governance arrangements within protected areas illuminates how stakeholder participat…
