The value and limitations of local ecological knowledge: Longitudinal and retrospective assessment of flagship species in Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 627-638, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Anthropogenic activities and climate change are affecting marine ecosystems world‐wide, but systematic biodiversity assessments through periodic biomonitoring can be challenging and costly. Local ecological knowledge (LEK), obtained from experienced residents, can complement other approaches and provide improved understanding of the ...

Exploring landowners' perceptions, motivations and needs for voluntary conservation in a cultural landscape

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page 840-855, September 2020., 2020
Abstract While efforts to reverse the current global environmental crisis increase, we are still experiencing unprecedented rates of species' extinctions. Traditional cultural landscapes can potentially play an important role for biodiversity conservation globally.

Can avian functional traits predict cultural ecosystem services?

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 138-151, March 2020., 2020
Abstract The functional trait diversity of species assemblages can predict the provision of ecosystem services such as pollination and carbon sequestration, but it is unclear whether the same trait‐based framework can be applied to identify the factors that underpin cultural ecosystem services and disservices. To explore the relationship between traits

Wildland–urban interface expansion: Towards comprehensive planning processes

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 754-766, March 2026.
Abstract Wildland–urban interface (WUI) expansion is accelerating in numerous regions around the world due to increasing amenity‐led migration processes, defined as the movement of people seeking higher environmental quality. While WUI areas are complex social–ecological systems requiring holistic planning and management, they are usually approached ...

The birds and the trees: Avian ecosystem (dis)service perspectives and farmers' willingness to plant native trees in the agricultural landscape of the Galapagos Islands

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 12, Page 3182-3206, December 2025.
Abstract Agricultural landscapes hold great potential for biodiversity conservation; however, this will require finding solutions that work for both people and nature. Increasingly, the conservation community is calling for more cross‐disciplinary research integrating ecological questions with social and behavioural sciences for a more complete and ...

Expert perceptions regarding the effectiveness and feasibility of nature‐based solutions for climate change adaptation in a large Mediterranean Basin

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 10, Page 2511-2531, October 2025.
Abstract Floods and droughts are becoming increasingly frequent and intense in the Mediterranean region. Nature‐based solutions (NBS) are being put forward as cost‐effective solutions for climate change adaptation to reduce the impacts of floods and droughts and provide multiple other benefits and ecosystem services.

Global perspectives, local solutions: Improving human–predator coexistence through collaboration, meaningful experiences and cross‐cultural knowledge

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 9, Page 2068-2084, September 2025.
Abstract Human–predator coexistence is a complex and dynamic relationship influenced by a variety of social–ecological factors. Recognising conflict as an inherent aspect of coexistence, rather than merely a problem to be solved, is crucial. This literature review examines how a range of factors contributes to human coexistence with predators.

The Social Relevance of Water Quality and Cultural Ecosystem Services: An Application to a Saline Wetland in an Arid Environment

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT The deterioration of wetlands and loss of ecosystem services is a consequence of human‐induced activities and the effects of climate change. In Spain, this situation is intensified in southern arid and semi‐arid regions such as Andalucía, where droughts are particularly intense.

Long‐term interventions by conservation and development projects support successful recovery of tropical peatlands in Amazonia

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 871-886, April 2025.
Abstract Rural communities in Amazonia rely on harvesting Mauritia flexuosa fruit, a dominant peatland palm, for their subsistence and income. However, these palms are felled to harvest the fruits, which has led to reduced resource availability due to the pressure exerted by the increasing fruit demand.
