A cornerstone of environmental policy is the debate over protecting nature for humans’ sake (instrumental values) or nature’s (intrinsic (1). We propose that focusing only on instrumental intrinsic values may fail to resonate with views personal and collective well-being, “what right,” regard environment. Without complementary attention other ways value expressed realized by people, such a focus inadvertently promote worldviews at odds fair desirable futures. It time engage seriously third...
A focus on ecosystem services (ES) is seen as a means for improving decisionmaking. In the research to date, valuation of material contributions ecosystems human well-being has been emphasized, with less attention important cultural ES and nonmaterial values. This gap persists because there no commonly accepted framework eliciting tangible values, characterizing their changes, including them alongside other in Here, we develop such practice, addressing three challenges: (1) Nonmaterial...
The term "ocean grabbing" has been used to describe actions, policies or initiatives that deprive small-scale fishers of resources, dispossess vulnerable populations coastal lands, and/or undermine historical access areas the sea. Rights and marine resources spaces are frequently reallocated through government private sector achieve conservation, management development objectives with a variety outcomes for different sectors society. This paper provides definition gives examples...
Value orientations used to explain or justify conservation have been rooted in arguments about how much and what context emphasize the intrinsic versus instrumental value of nature. Equally prominent are characterizations beliefs known as New Ecological Paradigm (NEP), often help pro-environmental behaviour. A recent alternative these positions has identified 'relational value'—broadly, values linking people ecosystems via tangible intangible relationships nature well principles, virtues...
Abstract Governance is one of the most important factors for ensuring effective environmental management and conservation actions. Yet, there still a relative paucity comprehensive practicable guidance that can be used to frame evaluation, design, analysis systems governance. This conceptual review synthesis article seeks addresses this problem through resituating broad body governance literature into practical framework Our builds on rich history scholarship propose has four general aims or...
Abstract Humanity is on a deeply unsustainable trajectory. We are exceeding planetary boundaries and unlikely to meet many international sustainable development goals global environmental targets. Until recently, there was no broadly accepted framework of interventions that could ignite the transformations needed achieve these desired targets goals. As component IPBES Global Assessment, we conducted an iterative expert deliberation process with extensive review scenarios pathways...
Social indicators, both mature and emerging, are underused
Abstract Stakeholders’ nonmaterial desires, needs, and values often critically influence the success of conservation projects. These considerations are challenging to articulate characterize, resulting in their limited uptake management policy. We devised an interview protocol designed enhance understanding cultural ecosystem services (CES). The begins with discussion ecosystem‐related activities (e.g., recreation, hunting) then addresses CES, prompting for encompassing concepts identified...

Recent research finds that perceived risk is closely associated with race and gender. In surveys of the American public a subset white males stand out for their uniformly low perceptions environmental health risks, while most nonwhite nonmale respondents reveal higher risk. Such findings have been attributed to advantageous position in social life. This article explores linked possibility this demographic pattern driven not simply by advantages or disadvantages embodied gender, but...
Marine conservation actions are promoted to conserve natural values and support human wellbeing. Yet the quality of governance processes social consequences some marine initiatives have been subject critique even rights complaints. These types issues may jeopardize legitimacy of, for long-term effectiveness conservation. Thus, we argue that a clearly articulated comprehensive set standards - code conduct is needed guide In this paper, draw on results an expert meeting scoping review present...
Sense of place is increasingly recognized as key to human wellbeing in social-ecological systems. Yet there limited understanding about how define and evaluate it for restoration. Here, we examine the connections between sense Puget Sound context ecological restoration shellfish harvesting other shoreline activities. Using a mixed-methods approach, including semi-structured interviews participatory workshops with tribal non-tribal residents, examined two regions Sound. Empirical results show...
