The COVID-19 pandemic has led to environmental recovery in some ecosystems from a global “anthropause,” yet such evidence for natural resources with extraction or production value (e.g., fisheries) is limited. This brief report provides data-driven snapshot of expert-perceived impacts on inland fisheries. We distributed an online survey assessing perceptions fishery pressures June and July 2020 basin-level experts (i.e., identified by the Food Agriculture Organization United Nations across...

Abstract Religion and spirituality have long played important roles in fishery systems around the world, yet are often neglected modern fisheries management research. We review current literature analyse major small‐scale on Lake Tanganyika, Africa, to highlight how religion may mediate fishing behaviours. Our study surveyed 154 fishers across 11 landing sites Tanzania, followed by 15 semi‐structured interviews with key informants including officers local religious leaders. identified...

The roles religion and politics play in the climate change arena have received greater attention past decade. Nonetheless, relationship between how they shape views is poorly understood, particularly among American evangelicals.

Abstract As urgency grows to address global warming, younger generations can play a strategic role in mobilizing communities that have generally been more opposed climate action and policy, such as political religious conservatives the United States. American evangelical Protestants—and white evangelicals particular—are largest group U.S. also most skeptical of science. There is growing interest, however, around whether are becoming ‘greener,’ attitudes among diverging from their elders. We...

Inland fisheries and their freshwater habitats face intensifying effects from multiple natural anthropogenic pressures. Fish harvest biodiversity data remain largely disparate severely deficient in many areas, which makes assessing managing inland difficult. Expert knowledge is increasingly used to improve inform biological or vulnerability assessments, especially data-poor areas. Integrating expert on the distribution, intensity, relative influence of human activities can guide resource...

Mobilizing communities for environmental sustainability often involves engaging with religious values and beliefs, which can exert powerful influences on the attitudes, norms, behaviors of majority people worldwide. Christianity is largest world religion and, in some contexts, has also been among most skeptical climate concerns. A popular explanation this skepticism focuses eschatological views (i.e., end time beliefs) posits that if earth going to be destroyed someday, there little point...
