Capabilities, place, and wellbeing in conservation spaces
Using case studies from Namibia and Mozambique, we examine how regulations against hunting impact person-place relationships and affect multidimensional wellbeing in conservation spaces. We combine Amartya Sen's capability approach with theories of place, using Chris de Wet's concept of disemplacement to investigate the ways conservation efforts affect rural quality of life. We find conservation and place-making become incompatible if people are …
In Pursuit of Socially Just Conservation
Aligning Amartya Sen’s capability approach with the concept of place attachment provides a promising way to make comparative assessments of conservation-related impacts on human well-being. Members of Indigenous communities managed their physical environment long before Western-inspired conservation initiatives imposed external practices, making it a matter of justice to consider conservation’s effects on specific groups. Evaluating well-being in…
Cultivating inequality? Regional rubber dynamics and implications for voluntary sustainability programs in Lao PDR
The Southeast Asian rubber boom beginning in the early 2000′s shaped a myriad of socioeconomic and environmental consequences, including deforestation, ecosystem impacts, shifts in community livelihoods, and altered local access to land and resources. Although there has been significant research assessing rubber production in this region, there has been less focus on economic inequality and polarization outcomes in rubber producing areas. This an…
Assessing protected area’s carbon stocks and ecological structure at regional-scale using Gedi lidar
Protected areas (PAs) serve as a critical strategy for protecting natural resources, conserving biodiversity, and mitigating climate change. While there is a critical need to guide area-based conservation efforts, a systematic assessment of PA effectiveness for storing carbon stocks has not been possible due to the lack of globally consistent forest biomass data. In this study, we present a new methodology utilizing forest structural information …

Examining aspiration’s imprint on the landscape
This paper explores the role of aspirational capacity, one cognitive dimension of well-being, as a driver of deforestation among rural smallholders living in or near Mozambique’s portion of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park. Integrating analyses of remote sensing, socio-economic, and semi-structured interview data within a theoretical framework drawn from Amartya Sen’s capability approach, we examine land use decisions in the context of the av…
Human Capital
The concept of human capital, or the stock of useful knowledge, skills, competencies, and other characteristics held by individuals, has evolved over time. Traditional accounts have a one‐dimensional focus on human capital's role in shaping economic outcomes. More recent work has adopted a broader perspective on how human capital contributes to human development and flourishing. Measures of educational attainment remain the most common proxies of…
Impact of urbanization on US surface climate
We combine Landsat and MODIS data in a land model to assess the impact of urbanization on US surface climate. For cities built within forests, daytime urban land surface temperature (LST) is much higher than that of vegetated lands. For example, in Washington DC and Atlanta, daytime mean temperature differences between impervious and vegetated lands reach 3.3 and 2.0 °C, respectively. Conversely, for cities built within arid lands, such as Phoeni…
Hybrid Uptakes of Neoliberal Conservation in Namibian Tourism-based Development
Neoliberal conservation schemes involving nature-based tourism are implemented throughout the developing world to address rural poverty. Drawing on socio-economic surveys and in-depth interviews, this article uses the case of Uibasen Conservancy in Namibia to investigate social responses to neoliberal conservation. We find that people's aspirations for upward economic and social mobility lead them to participate in neoliberal conservation project…
Relating Rainfall Patterns to Agricultural Income
Rural farmers in Mozambique rely on rain-fed agriculture for food and income, yet they experience high rainfall variability ranging from extreme drought to flooding rainfall from tropical cyclone systems. To explore linkages between rainfall and agriculture, the authors regress changes in annual household per capita agricultural income on reliance on staple food crops, agricultural and demographic characteristics, and rainfall patterns using long…
Climate change and poverty
Poverty is widely understood to be a key factor that increases the propensity for individuals and households to be harmed by climatic shocks and stresses. This review explores recent literature at the nexus of climate change impacts, vulnerability, and poverty. Within this literature, poverty is increasingly recognized as a dynamic and multidimensional condition that is shaped by the interplay of social, economic, political, and environmental pro…

Pastoralists under Pressure
Interdisciplinary science benefits from frameworks that bridge different perspectives and methodological approaches in order to understand and solve complex problems. This article applies the double exposure framework to analyse how economic and environmental change drives recent political instability and food crises in Niger and the resultant implications for the food security of pastoral populations. Findings illustrate how processes of global …
Economics, Morality, and Method
Concerns about equity and global justice play a prominent role in contemporary debates on persistent poverty, inequality, and uneven development. Widespread dissatisfaction with development outcomes has led to a re‐examination of how we understand development, what drives it, and how we can make it fair. This article begins with a discussion of some key economic theories influencing economic geography, including both equilibrium‐ and disequilibri…
Double exposure in Mozambique's Limpopo River Basin
This paper examines how double exposure to economic and environmental stressors - and the interaction between the two - affect smallholder farmers in Mozambique's Limpopo River Basin. Studying two case study villages we find that people, in general, are resilient to environmental stressors. However, most households show less resilience to the socioeconomic stressors and shocks that have been introduced or intensified by economic globalisation. Ou…

Trade and Income Inequality in a Less Developed Country
Although the relationship between international trade and income inequality has been widely studied in developing economies at the national level, less attention has been paid to regional differentiation within those countries. This article examines the differential impacts of trade in two distinct regions in Mozambique: the relatively more developed southern portion and the more isolated region north of the Zambezi River. Despite differences in …
International Trade, Employment and Earnings
Leichenko R. and Silva J. (2004) International trade, employment, and earnings: evidence from US rural counties, Reg. Studies 38, 355–374. Rural manufacturers in advanced countries are considered highly vulnerable to competition from international imports. Yet only limited empirical attention has been paid to the effects of trade on rural economies. This paper investigates the effects of international trade on rural manufacturing economies in the…
Regional Income Inequality and International Trade
This study investigates the effects of trade on income inequality across regions in the United States. Using both structural and price-based measures of regional trade involvement, we evaluate the effects of trade on inequality within and across states, the metropolitan and nonmetropolitan portions of the states, and the major census regions. Across all states and metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas, we found that trade affects inequality prim…
