Shifting the paradigm: An Indigenous knowledge‐based stewardship plan to replenish boreal caribou in Athabasca Chipewyan and Mikisew Cree First Nations' homelands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Indigenous Peoples in northern Alberta, including Dené and Cree of the Athabasca Chipewyan and Mikisew Cree First Nations (ACFN and MCFN), have been using Indigenous laws and stewardship principles to care for their homelands for thousands of years.

Evaluating commonly used tools to quantify human activity for protected area management

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Recreation in protected areas (PAs) is growing worldwide, potentially conflicting with wildlife and ecosystem protection. Efficiently estimating human activity in PAs is crucial for balancing a dual mandate of supporting visitor access and biodiversity, but managers lack clear recommendations about the conditions under which specific tools are

Linking perceptions of weeds with approaches to weed management

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract A multitude of factors can shape people's perceptions, leading to a variety of views on nature's services and values. The IPBES Values Framework highlights the ways that people and nature interact (both positively and negatively) through consideration of nature's contributions to people. For plants, differences in perceived values by different

Implementing potential climate‐smart practices through diverse partnerships

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to society, negatively impacting agriculture and crop yields. Globally, agriculture is also one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sectors. Climate‐smart practices that are developed through diverse partnerships with scientists and practitioners are needed to decrease GHG emissions. We implemented

An interdisciplinary review of the interplay of conflict, socio‐economic factors, and land cover and vegetation dynamics in Colombia

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Colombia's forests play a crucial role in preserving biodiversity and mitigating climate change, but they are currently facing severe degradation, particularly after the 2016 Peace Agreement. Our literature review highlights a growing research interest in this topic and demonstrates how interdisciplinary approaches combining diverse methods can enhance
