On the normative roles of biodiversity and naturalness in conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Nature is an opaque concept. Consequently, the term biodiversity conservation has replaced nature conservation in most conservation contexts. We review the conceptual indeterminacies that plague the terms nature and natural but then show that comparable difficulties plague biodiversity.

Understandings and critiques of biocultural diversity conservation and future recommendations for conservation actors

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract As biocultural approaches to conservation gain traction (e.g., through international commitments to Indigenous Peoples and local communities) and external conservation actors increasingly seek to engage with on‐the‐ground holders of biocultural diversity, improved understanding is needed of what biocultural diversity means.

Mammal Review, EarlyView.

Review of Policy Research, EarlyView.
