The impacts of woody encroachment on nature's contributions to people in North America and Africa
Woody encroachment is affecting nature's contributions to people (NCP) in grassy ecosystems around the world, but these impacts have not yet been well summarised. Moreover, the impacts of encroachment are likely to vary depending on the historical ecosystem dynamics, climatic conditions, encroacher species, and the temporal, spatial, cultural and socio‐economic contexts, including the dependence of communities on natural resources. To address the…
Viability and desirability of financing conservation in Africa through fire management
Six principles to get natural climate solutions right in Africa
Public finance allocation does not reflect biodiversity priorities
Closing the biodiversity finance gap requires increasing funding for nature-positive activities and making nature-negative activities less viable. This would reduce the need for expenditure on conservation and protection from the outset, especially for restoration efforts after the fact. Current financial flows to nature-positive activities are undermined by the considerably larger amount of funds flowing to nature-eroding activities. We used pub…
Tracy-Lynn Field and Michael Hennessy Picard, Review of Gabrielle Hecht. Residual Governance
Equity and Justice should underpin the discourse on Tipping Points
Radical and quick transformations towards sustainability have winners and losers, with equity and justice embedded to a greater or a lesser extent. According to research, only the wealthiest 1-4 % of the global population will radically need to change their consumption, behaviours, societal values and beliefs in order to make space for an equitable and sustainable future for nature and people. However, narratives around many 'positive' tipping po…
Nature‐reliant, low‐income households face the highest rates of woody‐plant encroachment in South Africa
Woody‐plant encroachment is an under‐recognized consequence of land degradation. This phenomenon is common in rangeland ecosystems, where woody plants outcompete grasses, resulting in a shift to more wooded ecosystems. The consequences of this for livelihoods are most often damaging. Case studies at a local scale have shown negative consequences for ecosystem services and livelihoods, though few have considered these impacts over greater scales t…

Converts to Human Rights? Popular Debate About War and justice in Rural Central Sierra Leone
Internationally, war in Sierra Leone (1991-2002) is regarded as an instance of violent conflict driven by economic factors (attempts to control the mining of alluvial diamonds). Fieldwork (2000-01) in rural areas recovering from war suggests a very different picture. War victims and combatants from different factions stress the importance of political decay, corruption, injustice and the social exclusion of young people. Other studies confirm the…
