  • Beyond the attention economy, towards an ecology of attending. A manifesto

    Open AccessGunter Bombaerts, Tom Hannes et al.ARTICLEAI & Society2026

    We endorse policymakers’ efforts to address the negative consequences of the attention economy’s technology but add that these approaches are often limited in their criticism of the systemic context of human attention. Starting from Buddhist philosophy, we advocate a broader approach: an ‘ecology of attending’ that centers on conceptualizing, designing, and using attention (1) in an embedded way and (2) focused on the alleviating of suffering. Wi…

  • Sustainable coffee

    Open AccessDale R Wright, Sarah Bekessy et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2024

    With a global footprint of 10 million hectares across 12.5 million farms, coffee is among the world’s most traded commodities. The coffee industry has launched a variety of initiatives designed to reduce coffee’s contribution to climate change and biodiversity loss and enhance the socio-economic conditions of coffee producers. We systematically reviewed the literature on the sustainability and governance of coffee production and developed a typol…

  • Relational Hubs for Collaborative Landscape Stewardship

    Landscape stewardship is considered an important place-based approach to addressing sustainability challenges. Working at landscape-level requires collaboration between diverse landscape stakeholders. In this study, we partnered with local stewardship practitioners across six cases in South Africa to investigate how they facilitate collaboration towards social-ecological sustainability outcomes. We found that practitioners facilitate collaboratio…

  • PPA or Oecm? Differentiating between privately protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures on private land

    Open AccessBrent A Mitchell, James Fitzsimons et al.ARTICLEPARKS2018

    Private land conservation has an increasingly important role in ensuring global conservation networks are comprehensive, adequate and representative. To contribute to the Convention on Biological Diversity's Aichi Target 11, areas on private land must be either privately protected areas (PPAs) or 'other effective area-based conservation measures' (OECMs) on private land. Here we compare PPAs to OECMs on private land, clarify misconceptions and pr…

  • Understanding the Motivations and Satisfactions of Volunteers to Improve the Effectiveness of Citizen Science Programs

    Dale R Wright, Les G Underhill et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2015Cited by: 9References: 7

    Citizen science is a useful approach for conducting scientific research; however, an understanding of the motivations, satisfactions, and other aspects of volunteers’ psychology is essential for conservation scientists wishing to mobilize this resource. We tested psychometric instruments for assessing the motivations, satisfactions, and advocacy role of volunteers with the Second Southern African Bird Atlas Project (SABAP2). Data were collected t…
