Moving in Cycles: Explaining the Failure of Militarization to Address Illegal Mining in Ghana

Politics &Policy, Volume 54, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Mining contributes to Ghana's economic growth but also imposes significant social costs—land dispossession and unemployment—which have fueled the rise of illegal mining (galamsey). Galamsey, which intensified during the commodity boom of the 2010s, provides livelihoods while simultaneously worsening environmental degradation and social ...

Sharing landscapes with wildlife: Conflict and coexistence between high nature value pastoral systems and large carnivores

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2006-2017, July 2026.
Abstract High nature value (HNV) pastoral systems, that is those maintained by herding, transhumance and extensive grazing practices, are recognised as cornerstones of European biodiversity, cultural heritage and ecosystem service provision. Yet these systems are currently under significant pressure from a range of economic, social and environmental ...

Challenges and Opportunities for Strengthening Bottom‐Tow Fisheries Sustainability

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 987-1005, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Bottom‐tow gear fisheries (trawls and dredges) produce ~24 million mt of harvest annually, representing a globally important animal‐sourced food system. While many are currently sustainably managed, growing concern over the potential for ecosystem impacts from bottom‐tow gears has increased pressure to improve these fisheries.
