Bushmeat consumption frequency and preferences among rural households in a West African savanna landscape: Implications for food security and conservation

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The drivers of consumer demand for bushmeat are relatively well studied in tropical forest systems, but much less so in savanna areas. This is important because differing ecological and socio‐economic conditions lead to different factors affecting the relationship between local communities and their natural resources.

Identifying knowledge barriers to agroforestry adoption and co‐designing solutions to them

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Compared to monocultures, agroforestry can promote biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and climate resilience, whilst maintaining or enhancing production and profits. Despite this, uptake in temperate regions remains low. Knowledge gaps amongst land managers are a primary barrier to uptake, but little is known about which aspects of ...

Where were all the trees? Computer vision meets landscape history to unlock the potential of historical Ordnance Survey maps

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The first edition of the Ordnance Survey's 1:2500 County Series is marked with treed areas, such as woodlands and orchards, and, remarkably, freestanding trees. Consequently, it is an unparalleled source of information on the distribution of trees across Britain in the mid‐late nineteenth century, when the maps were first surveyed. In order to

The magnitude and economic replacement value of wild meat obtained from ‘recreational’ big game hunting in the United States

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Meat production has notable benefits for food security, nutrition and various production economies, but has elicited substantial negative environmental impacts. Recreational hunting provides an alternative to agricultural meat production for over 24 million hunters worldwide.

Combined storytelling and mapping approaches for increasing community engagement with woodland creation and expansion projects

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Forests and woodlands are important for biodiversity, climate change mitigation and the provision of services including recreation, timber and non‐timber forest products. Land use policies currently aim to increase forest cover while also maximising the benefits of forests for people and improving community engagement with the process of ...
