Hope and Its Distribution in Rural Tanzania
Recent research at the intersection of psychology and economics sheds light on the influence of hope on economic decisions. A body of that work concentrates on the economics of hope in developing country contexts. We identify two notable gaps: lack of attention to the measurement of hope as a latent psychological construct, and consequently, the lack of description and characterization of hope as a variable that can be measured and targeted. This…
Co-management for sustainable development and conservation in Sanjiangyuan National Park and the surrounding Tibetan nomadic pastoralist areas
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau plays an essential role in national to regional ecological security, biodiversity conservation, and sustaining livelihood. An array of natural resource management, environmental conservation, and ecological restoration projects have been trialed and implemented in recent years in the vast Sanjiangyuan region of the central Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, aiming especially to ensure socio-ecologically appropriate and sustainable d…
Local perspectives on social-ecological transformation: China’s Sanjiangyuan National Park
Forest data governance as a reflection of forest governance: Institutional change and endurance in Finland and Canada
The rapid development of new digital technologies for natural resource management has created a need to design and update governance regimes for effective and transparent generation, sharing and use of digital natural resource data. In this paper, we contribute to this novel area of investigation from the perspective of institutional change. We develop a conceptual framework to analyze how emerging natural resource data governance is shaped by re…

Characterizing social networks and their effects on income diversification in rural Kerala, India
Income diversification continues to be a key strategy for poor rural households, including those that are progressively developing and those operating under increasing distress. The ability of a household to diversify has been shown to depend upon its demographic and economic characteristics and its physical and social context. This paper considers the effects of intra-village social networks on household income diversification in one of the poor…

Forestry‐based carbon sequestration projects in Africa: Potential benefits and challenges
Carbon sequestration through forestry and agroforestry can help mitigate global warming. For Africa, carbon sequestration also represents an opportunity to fund sustainable development through financial inflows. However, with a low share of global carbon trade, there are strong concerns that African countries are losing out on this valuable opportunity. Through a comprehensive review of 23 carbon sequestration projects across 14 countries, this p…
Prosopis juliflora Invasion and Rural Livelihoods in the Lake Baringo Area of Kenya
Global concern about deforestation caused by fuelwood shortages prompted the introduction of Prosopis juliflora to many tropical areas in the 1970s and 1980s. P. juliflora is a hardy nitrogen-fixing tree that is now recognised as one of the world's most invasive alien species. The introduction and subsequent inva-sion of P. juliflora in the Lake Baringo area of Kenya has attracted national media attention and contra-dictory responses from respons…
