Public Opinion About Community Participation in Natural Resources Governance: A Population Survey in Indonesia and Malaysia

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The international conservation and natural resources communities have increasingly embraced the principle of community participation. This rhetoric around participation has gained power and influence in setting countries' agendas for natural resources governance, largely without a sound understanding of public opinion on the issues.

Changes in soil organic matter content and quality in Amazonian mangrove forests converted to shrimp farms

Frontiers in Soil Science
Mangroves are highly efficient carbon sinks, yet they are increasingly threatened by aquaculture expansion. Moreover, the long-term impacts of shrimp farming on soil organic matter (SOM) quality and carbon sequestration in Amazonian mangroves remain ...

Addressing Barriers to Fair Community Participation in Mangrove Carbon Credit Projects: Insights From Thailand

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thailand has announced ambitious plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including a programme that allows private companies to earn carbon credits from protecting and restoring mangroves. In 2023, the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR) began enrolling local communities and private firms in this scheme.

Ocean Governance and Marine Conservation: Institutional Work as a Lever for Ocean Sustainability

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ocean governance presents one of the most complex environmental policy challenges of our time, requiring coordinated action across multiple scales, sectors and stakeholder groups. This paper applies institutional work theory to systematically examine how actors create, maintain and disrupt the governance arrangements underpinning ocean ...

Assessment of anthropogenic disturbances on mangrove aboveground biomass in Malaysian Borneo using airborne LiDAR data

Egyptian Journal of Remote Sensing and Space Sciences
Mangroves are known for their carbon storage capacity, yet they are under immense pressure from human activities. This study assessed anthropogenic disturbances on mangroves’ aboveground biomass (AGB) in northern Borneo, Malaysia, using airborne light ...

Tidal dynamics and mangrove carbon sequestration during the Oligo–Miocene in the South China Sea

Nature Communications, 2017
Mangroves are important carbon-rich biomes, but their long-term impact on the global carbon cycle is relatively unknown. Here, the authors show that the Oligo–Miocene mangroves in the South China Sea stored in excess of 4,000 Gt, demonstrating the long ...

Nutrition and Metabolic Diseases: A Systematic Review of Functional Foods, Medicinal Plants, Phytochemicals, Bioactive Compounds and Nutrients Effective Against Metabolic Diseases

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
The study demonstrates how functional foods, medicinal plants, phytochemicals, bioactive compounds and essential nutrients combat metabolic diseases. It highlights their mechanisms, including antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, insulin‐sensitising, lipid‐regulating, gut microbiota‐modulating and mitochondrial‐enhancing effects, leading to improved ...
