Why do we burn? Examining arguments underpinning the use of prescribed burning to manage wildfire risk

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Managing wildfire risk requires consideration of complex and uncertain scientific evidence as well as trade‐offs between different values and goals. Conflicting perspectives on what values and goals are most important, what ought to be done and what trade‐offs are acceptable complicate those decisions.

Bushmeat consumption frequency and preferences among rural households in a West African savanna landscape: Implications for food security and conservation

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.

In this perspective, we argue that the current use of the resilience concept fails to recognise this lack of ...

Views from the hill: Deer stalkers' perspectives on land‐use change in the Scottish Highlands

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
