People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Protected areas represent complex social‐ecological systems that require governance and management approaches that valorise and enhance positive relationships between people and nature. This study analyses the alignment between social and ecological systems to detect the social‐ecological fit of projects focused on biodiversity conservation ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Volunteers have been involved in nature observations for decades through citizen science initiatives, providing large data sets as well as problem identification that allow a more complete understanding of many natural phenomena. Although communication is a core component in citizen science, the key factors that determine its effectiveness in ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Private land conservation (PLC) can contribute to sustainability by improving biodiversity and human well‐being but can also result in negative outcomes for people and nature if poorly designed. Informing PLC design to achieve objectives for joint biodiversity and well‐being is challenging because most evaluations assess ecological and social ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Ecoregions are often defined based on homogeneous biophysical and ecological conditions and are optimal spatial units for designing conservation strategies. However, transboundary ecoregions such as the Alto Paraná Atlantic Forest (APAF) experience asymmetrical conservation outcomes, understood here as cross‐border differences, resulting from ...

The potential of seedbank digital information in plant conservation
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Seedbanks are vital for biodiversity conservation, but their potential remains underutilised due to a limited understanding of the intraspecific genetic diversity they hold. By leveraging digitised data associated with seedbank collections, such as sampling locations, number of maternal plants and seed traits, we can attempt the estimation of genetic ...
