  • PHIMBYs and the politics of transit-oriented development: Moving beyond the Nimby-Yimby binary in Vancouver’s Broadway Plan

    Open AccessGiulia Belotti, Terre Satterfield et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning C…2026

    As cities seek solutions to reduce GHG emissions, transit-oriented development (TOD) is increasingly recognized as a promising approach, given that transportation is a major emitter in urban areas. However, densification and TOD are subjects of intense debate and controversy. This research sheds light on urban residents’ perceptions of transit-oriented development, focusing on an initiative recently approved by the City of Vancouver, the Broadway…

  • Measuring what matters for carbon removal

    Open AccessShah Nawaz, Madison Stevens et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2026

    Research on and early deployment of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies are rapidly expanding. Approaches such as direct air capture with geological storage, ocean alkalinity enhancement, and enhanced rock weathering aim to produce drawdown and long-term storage of atmospheric CO2. Efforts increasingly prioritize evaluating environmental and social implications through research and monitoring, but the focus to date tends to overlook critica…

  • Thinking at the megaton scale: Community reflections across three different marine carbon-dioxide removal strategies

    Open AccessTerre Satterfield, Shah Nawaz et al.ARTICLEEnergy Research & Social Science2026References: 12

    Investigations of marine carbon dioxide removal are unfolding rapidly as countries seek net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. A key priority for interdisciplinary research is public engagement in system design, social conditions, and acceptance. Social scientists warn that ‘large-scale’ proliferation—at megaton or gigaton levels—raises distinct challenges. Yet most work examining CDR has relied on simplified descriptions with little attentio…

  • Navigating risk and resilience: Community leader and care provider perspectives on climate change and health in rural British Columbia

    Open AccessGlory O Apantaku, Chris Buse et al.ARTICLEJournal of Rural Studies2026References: 24

    Communities across British Columbia, Canada, are experiencing direct and cumulative health impacts from extreme weather events, such as heatwaves and wildfires. These impacts exacerbate existing health disparities, especially for communities already vulnerable due to remote geography, socio-economic status, etc. Given this reality, it is valuable for community leaders (e.g., mayors and councillors) to have a sufficient understanding of the local …

  • Care, conflict, and coexistence: Human–wildlife relations in community forests

    Open AccessMadison Stevens, Shalini Rawat et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2025

    Human–wildlife conflict (HWC) presents a persistent challenge for global biodiversity conservation. Yet, focusing on conflict alone may obscure the complex drivers of positive and negative interactions between people and wildlife coinhabiting the same geographies. In India's Uttarakhand Himalayan region, van panchayat (VP) community forests support agro‐pastoralist livelihoods and forest protection. While the governance and livelihood dimensions …

  • Analysis of decision-making around sulfur regulation in marine shipping using the graph model for conflict resolution

    Open AccessSimone Philpot, Terre Satterfield et al.ARTICLEElementa Science of the…2025

    Reducing the environmental and health impacts arising from marine transportation is a central mandate for the International Maritime Organization (IMO), but policy implementation is challenged by overlapping jurisdictions and compartmentalized policy design. Here, we investigate decision-making strategies after the IMO 2020 policy, aimed at reducing sulfur emissions by more stringently regulating fuel sulfur content, came into force. Our analysis…

  • Forest doesn't burn anymore: Indigenous ontologies of cultural burning and fire in Southern India

    Open AccessHelina Jolly, Milind Kandlikar et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning E Nature…2025References: 47

    Historically, many Indigenous communities across the world have practiced seasonal burning to manage their local ecosystems. This practice shaped forest terrains worldwide and established an intentional and active relationship between humans and fire. Yet, perceived as a threat to wildlife and biodiversity, colonial policies have banned the burning of forests, and customary fire management remains a point of disagreement between conventional fore…

  • Many mountain paths: Perceiving change in the management of community forests in the Hindu Kush Himalaya, Uttarakhand, India

    Open AccessMadison Stevens, Terre SatterfieldARTICLEEnvironment and Planning E Nature…2024Cited by: 4References: 75

    India's high mountain, van panchayat forests are a long-standing example of community-led forest governance. These provide vital support for mountain communities' wellbeing, yet little is known about how environmental and social change is currently perceived or addressed, despite many claims that characterize van panchayats to be in crisis due to policy interventions by state forest actors and erosion of local management institutions. This resear…

  • One size fits all: How the "Ethiopian Highlands" made Bale Mountains National Park inscrutable

    Open AccessStephen M Chignell, Aishwarya Ramachandran et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning E Nature…2024References: 94

    The categories we use to make sense of a place are never neutral. Scientific classifications can maintain ignorance about some aspects of a landscape, even as they create knowledge about others. This article considers this in the context of Ethiopia's Bale Mountains National Park, a landscape whose hydrologic and socio-cultural characteristics have been made inscrutable through the convergence of imperial legacies, processes of knowledge producti…

  • Seeing beyond the frames we inherit: A challenge to tenacious conservation narratives

    Open AccessStephen M Chignell, Terre SatterfieldARTICLEPeople and Nature2023

    Natural and social scientists everywhere are struggling to understand how to proceed in the face of continued biodiversity loss and the injustices brought upon people living in and around conservation landscapes. This has resulted in increasing calls for critical reflection on the narratives driving conservation research and practice. Narratives can be understood as part of a larger process of “framing” within an intellectual community, which inc…

  • Empirical examples demonstrate how relational thinking might enrich science and practice

    Open AccessHarold N Eyster, Terre Satterfield et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2023

    Interdependent relationships among humans and nature often go overlooked, delaying better environmental, social and public health outcomes. Emerging approaches have emphasized thinking through relationships, which we call ‘relational thinking’. Threads of relational thinking have matured in areas such as anthropology and Indigenous scholarship, and interest is growing across many disciplines. Welcoming this new cadre of relational thinkers requir…

  • Does "Precision" Matter? A Q Study of Public Interpretations of Gene Editing in Agriculture

    Open AccessShah Nawaz, Terre Satterfield et al.ARTICLEScience Technology & Human Values2023References: 93

    Gene editing (GE) technologies are rapidly gaining traction as an alternative to genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in agriculture. While proponents claim the critical need for GE to address climate change and food security and assert its similarity to conventional breeding, critics argue that these technologies bring similar concerns to GMOs, such as supporting industrial agriculture and enhancing corporate control and ownership. But how do p…

  • Restorative diets: A Methodological Exploration Comparing Historical and Contemporary Salmon Harvest Rates

    Open AccessErika R Gavenus, Erika Gavenus et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2023Cited by: 1

    Along the coast of what has come to be known as British Columbia, First Nations face persistent challenges related to the state of the fisheries on which they depend. Fisheries management strategies imposed by the colonial-through-to-federal governance regimes have been implicated in contributing to the challenges, and are rejected by many coastal First Nations who are reasserting governance authority over their fisheries. In particular, the curr…

  • We Thought It Would Last Forever: The Social Scars and Legacy Effects of Mine Closure at Nanisivik, Canada’s First High Arctic Mine

    Tee Wern Lim, Arn Keeling et al.ARTICLELabour / Le Travail2023Cited by: 3References: 2

    Although mine closures are an inherent feature of extractive industry, they tend to receive less attention in the literature on deindustrialization than the closures of manufacturing and other heavy industries. Until recently, the settler-colonial context of hinterland mineral development and its impact on northern Indigenous lands and communities in Canada have also remained largely unexplored within this literature. Mineral development is histo…

    Open AccessAnthony W Persaud, Harry W Nelson et al.ARTICLEOrganization & Environment2022

    The institutional frameworks that Indigenous groups put in place to govern economic processes within their communities are critical to the advancement of their diverse cultural-ecological, social, and economic development goals. Through the lens of institutional logics, this article examines the ways in which First Nations community sawmill enterprises in British Columbia, Canada, navigate the sectoral demands brought by a productivist paradigm o…

  • On the nature of naturalness? Theorizing ‘nature’ for the study of public perceptions of novel genomic technologies in agriculture and conservation

    Open AccessShah Nawaz, Terre SatterfieldARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2022References: 20

    Notions of naturalness are widely assumed to drive how people perceive genetic engineering (GE). As newer forms of genetic engineering—namely, gene editing, gene drives, and synthetic biology—are reshaping life forms in both agriculture and conservation, they are increasingly raising questions of what a ‘natural’ food, organism or ecosystem is, and whether objections toward ‘unnaturalness’ or preferences for ‘naturalness’ might reveal a deeper et…

  • Into the Animal Mind: Perceptions of Emotive and Cognitive Traits in Animals

    Megan M Callahan, Megan Callahan et al.ARTICLEAnthrozoös2021Cited by: 2References: 67

    As incidences of human–wildlife interaction escalate, it is useful to increase understanding of the perceptions that might underpin these interactions or explain human behavior so associated. This study sought to identify public perceptions of the animal mind across wildlife species and to examine how states or qualities such as conscious thinking and feeling are perceived. We also aimed to evaluate whether people anthropomorphize species as read…

  • Levers and leverage points for pathways to sustainability

    Open AccessKai M A Chan, David R Boyd et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2020

    Humanity is on a deeply unsustainable trajectory. We are exceeding planetary boundaries and unlikely to meet many international sustainable development goals and global environmental targets. Until recently, there was no broadly accepted framework of interventions that could ignite the transformations needed to achieve these desired targets and goals. As a component of the IPBES Global Assessment, we conducted an iterative expert deliberation pro…

  • The maturation of ecosystem services: Social and policy research expands, but whither biophysically informed valuation

    Open AccessKai M A Chan, Terre Satterfield et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2020

    The concept of ecosystem services (ES) has risen to prominence based on its promise to vastly improve environmental decision‐making and to represent nature's many benefits to people. Yet the field has continued to be plagued by fundamental concerns, leading some to believe that the field of ES must mature or be replaced. In this paper, we quantitatively survey a stratified random sample of more than 1,000 articles addressing ES across three decad…
