More than proteins for empty stomachs: Wild meat in the BaTonga food system

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Our paper highlights the limitations of the framework used by many conservation‐focused programmes that incorporate food security objectives. This framework encourages the substitution of wild proteins with domestic proteins by promoting animal farming in communities located near conservation areas.

Detecting social‐ecological fit in Natura 2000 governance and management: Evidence from LIFE projects focused on forest protected habitat types

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 ...

Enabling effective urban green space stewardship through planning: A qualitative comparative analysis in Southwest England

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Amid increasing urbanisation and biodiversity decline, ‘effective stewardship’ of urban green space (UGS) is a complex but critical nature‐based solution for long‐term environmental, social and economic gain. Combining stewardship and sense‐of‐place frameworks with European nature‐based solutions guidance, we investigate which social and ...

Participatory fuzzy cognitive modelling reveals leverage points for agroecological adoption in the Central Valleys of Oaxaca

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Global institutions are increasingly calling for an agroecological transition of our food systems to promote sustainable farmer livelihoods, safeguard agrobiodiversity and foster socio‐ecological resilience to a changing climate. Yet adoption remains limited, and there is a paucity of research examining how local conditions enable and ...
