Few projects adequately address design and evaluation
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 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...
Costa Rica is a global ecotourism destination, yet tourism growth has contributed to conflicts over water use. Given the potential for revenue address important environmental challenges, this study examined factors that influence financial support conservation, evaluating role of relational values both as an independent measure and comparing how tourists respond "relational" program design features (where personal connection emphasized) those without. A survey (n = 263) with choice...
Widespread, common species continue to decline, disrupting ecosystems and human connections with nature. New strategies motivate people protect widespread are needed. Drawing on a relational values framework, we deploy discrete choice experiment survey (n = 646) test whether foregrounding the genetic distinctiveness of local populations interdependence humans could conservation (rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss). Genetic/genomic data have long been used manage endangered species, but...
Programs and projects employing payments for ecosystem service (PES) interventions achieve their objectives by linking buyers sellers of services. Although PES are popular conservation development interventions, little is known about adherence to basic ecological principles. We conducted a quantitative assessment the degree which global set adhered four principles that scientific considerations any project focused on management: collection baseline data, identification threats an service,...
In credit systems, purportedly sustainable activities are undertaken in one place to compensate for unsustainable elsewhere. These mechanisms originated pollution abatement systems but now found many sustainability programs, including supply chain certification. Credit programs used various certification lower transaction costs, boost uptake, and direct more resources small producers, they also controversial. The relational values framework argues that way motivate people support efforts is...
