An effective model for community‐based conservation around authorized fishing settlements inside a devolved Wildlife Management Area in southern Tanzania

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This study examines the relationship between community‐defined land use plans and de facto land use practices, and the influence of the latter on the relative abundance and distribution of large wild mammals across the Ifakara‐Lupiro‐Mangula (ILUMA) WMA, which acts as a key buffer zone between Nyerere National Park (NNP) to the east and adjacent ...

Wildebeest movement responses to electric conservation fencing in the African Savannah ecosystem

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
These findings provide GPS‐based empirical evidence of how a newly constructed electric conservation fence alters migratory wildebeests, and show that effects are context‐dependent across habitat type, time of day, and distance to the boundary. While such fences can reduce human–wildlife conflict and support conservation goals, they must be carefully ...

Subsistence Fishing in the Yukon River Delta: A Case Study of Alakanuk Subsistence Fishery and the Use of Local/Traditional Ecological Knowledge

open access: yes, 2011
The Yukon River delta is home to many subsistence Tribal communities that rely heavily on salmon as a food source. These communities structure resource use and management around Local/Traditional Ecological Knowledge (LTEK). LTEK is a rich source of data built on observations and natural indicators throughout generations.

Toward more inclusive governance and conservation in the urbanizing Amazon

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We propose two paths toward a more inclusive approach to governance and conservation in the urbanizing Amazon: (1) grounding natural resource management programs in local‐level realities and (2) accounting for flows and transformations of place‐based relationships across the rural–urban interface.
