Theories of care help explain a peri‐urban tree diversity paradox
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Since diversity is often a management objective for peri‐urban tree communities on public land, one might expect to find greater diversity there than on private land, where such objectives are less common. However, this expectation rests on an assumption that people control diversity towards objectives, overlooking the role of relationships ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Conservation decisions often require navigating tensions among ecological, cultural, economic and social priorities. While debates frequently centre on single‐species outcomes, less is known about how care for landscapes may contribute to co‐stewardship.

Emergent media narratives on land conflicts in a global biocultural diversity hotspot
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Land conflicts (LCs) represent major challenges in regions where limited resources are contested by diverse actors. The triple frontier of the bioculturally diverse Alto Paraná Atlantic Forests (APAF) ecoregion concentrates some of the most intense LCs in South America.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Across sub‐Saharan Africa, tree‐based restoration efforts are dominated by exotic tree species due to their rapid biomass accumulation and short‐term economic returns. However, their limited contribution to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning has renewed interest in native‐tree restoration as a more sustainable strategy.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) is increasingly recognized as a key strategy to address land degradation, biodiversity loss and climate change. However, its long‐term success depends not only on ecological outcomes but also on social processes that shape restoration implementation and sustainability.

Exploring patterns for social‐ecological success of ecosystem restoration worldwide
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Ecosystem restoration is a crucial response to human‐induced land degradation, which threatens biodiversity and ecosystem functions, poses food and water insecurity and undermines livelihoods, cultural values and human–nature relationships. For restoration to be effective and equitable, it is essential to understand how social and ecological ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Market‐based conservation instruments such as REDD+ and Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) have been promoted to curb deforestation in the Colombian Amazon. Yet these schemes remain contested, as they advance neoliberal conservation and reproduce gender inequalities.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.A challenge for wild plant conservation is the rising incidence of plant pathogens that are difficult to interdict, contain and manage. Invasive, fast‐moving, broad‐spectrum pathogens impose societal costs through losses of intrinsically valuable wild biodiversity, ecosystem function, current and potential genetic and biological assets, culturally ...

Climate‐smart land management: Greenhouse gas outcomes and social and economic pathways to adoption
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change poses one of the greatest threats to natural and working lands, reducing the resilience of agricultural and forest productivity. Because land management is a leading source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, climate‐smart management practices are being implemented to reduce net emissions while sustaining yields.
