Drivers of Biodiversity Conservation in Sacred Groves
Globally, sacred groves represent a traditional form of community-based conservation, recognized as areas of cultural and religious importance to local people. In some cases, the entire community guards against the desecration of, or unauthorized access to, such sites, either by its members or outsiders; in others, non-recognition of customary rights is linked to degradation. This paper uses the case study of three sacred groves in southwest Nige…
Limitaciones y oportunidades para el escalamiento de cuatro empresas forestales comunitarias del centro de México
Las empresas forestales comunitarias (EFC) requieren habilidades de planificación comercial regional para establecer y mantener asociaciones comerciales a mayor escala. El objetivo de este estudio es identificar la percepción de cuatro EFC contrastantes sobre las limitaciones y oportunidades de escalamiento en el centrode México, con base en el nivel de desarrollo de aprovechamiento silvícola y organización social, aplicando entrevistas a diferen…
Flexible and comprehensive criteria for evaluating climate change adaptation success for biodiversity and natural resource conservation
Assessing the success of climate change adaptation initiatives and expenditures requires consideration of multiple complex dimensions that interact across time and space—a task that is difficult and sometimes controversial. These challenges are exacerbated in conservation contexts where there are no clear and accepted definitions, goals, strategies, and evaluation criteria for adaptation. Using a Delphi expert elicitation (n = 18) involving succe…
Models for integrating climate objectives in forest policy
Recognizing the potential interactions and synergies between adaptation and mitigation in land-use policies in general and forest policies in particular, research on climate change policy has increasingly focused on integrating both objectives simultaneously (hereafter “interaction model”). However, while support exists for the integration of adaptation and mitigation, very few policies have successfully integrated both objectives in practice (he…
Scientific shortcomings in environmental impact statements internationally
Governments around the world rely on environmental impact assessment (EIA) to understand the environmental risks of proposed developments. To examine the basis for these appraisals, we examine the output of EIA processes in jurisdictions within seven countries, focusing on scope (spatial and temporal), mitigation actions and whether impacts were identified as ‘significant’. We find that the number of impacts characterized as significant is genera…
Designing and evaluating analytic-deliberative engagement processes for natural resources management
The need to involve the public and stakeholders in decision-making around issues of technological complexity and conflicting values and knowledge systems is widely accepted in the field of natural resources management. Addressing both analysis and deliberation, analytic-deliberative processes are increasingly used for complex decision contexts. Yet, there remain significant disagreements about best practices for what constitutes a successful enga…
Surprisingly malleable public preferences for climate adaptation in forests
Researchers and policy-makers often assume that public preferences for climate change adaptation are positive and stable compared to those of mitigation. However, public judgments about adaptation in natural resource sectors (like forestry) require that people make difficult, value-laden and uncertain trade-offs across complex social-ecological systems. The deliberative methods (e.g. focus groups and in-depth interviews) that are typically used t…
