The role of trust in wildlife damage response systems: One step towards coexistence between livestock farming and large carnivores?

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wildlife damage to livestock and crops is the primary cause of conflict and a major barrier to human–wildlife coexistence across Europe and beyond. Data on such damages play a key role in understanding and shaping these conflicts. Policy responses have emphasised prevention and compensation to support extensive husbandry practices; however ...

Delivering resilience for people and nature in Anthropocene landscapes

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The concept of resilience is widespread in strategies for enhancing biodiversity and ecosystem services, but, in practice, resilience means different things in different socio‐ecological and policy contexts and to different people. In this perspective, we argue that the current use of the resilience concept fails to recognise this lack of ...

Joint social‐ecological outcomes of private land conservation: An evidence synthesis with a well‐being perspective

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 ...

Community attitudes and support for the restoration of a cryptic seabird in a peopled landscape

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecological restoration projects aim to facilitate species recovery, including the reintroduction and recolonisation of extirpated species. In the case of highly mobile species, restoring habitat within the species' historic range can lead to natural recolonisation.

Living with tigers: Perceptions of risk, equity, and cultural change amidst tiger attacks in a reserve's buffer zone

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Large carnivores are widely promoted as flagship species in biodiversity conservation, yet, in high‐density landscapes they generate risks to human lives and livelihoods that are unevenly distributed. Understanding how coexistence is sustained under such conditions raises questions of governance, equity, and whose costs are normalized.

Managing species, managing connections: Social‐ecological alignment in state forestry

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Forests are shaped not only by ecological processes but also by the actions and interactions of those managing them. In state‐managed multifunctional forests, forest district managers play a central role in translating policies into practice.

Data gaps and heterogeneity limit our understanding of human–wildlife interactions: A continental study of Andean bears

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The expansion and intensification of human activities have increased interactions between people and wildlife. Interactions involving bears and other large carnivores are complex and can lead to conflicts. Promoting positive coexistence requires managing information, which is not always available.

‘Reservoir dogs’: The emerging zoonotic risk associated with European dog imports to the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The movement of dogs from continental Europe to the UK poses a growing public health threat due to the associated risk of disease incursions. Current legislation is insufficient to address the risks and pre‐import control measures are focused only on rabies virus and the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Methods We conducted
