Recognizing the urgent need for sustainability, we argue that to move beyond rhetoric and actually realize sustainable development, it must be considered as a decision-making strategy. We demonstrate sustainability assessment indicators can powerful decision-supporting tools foster development by addressing three challenges: interpretation, information-structuring, influence. Particularly, since 1990s many substantial often promising efforts are made. However, better practices broader shared...

Abstract Interviews are a widely used methodology in conservation research. They flexible, allowing in‐depth analysis from relatively small sample size and place the focus of research on views participants. While interviews popular method, several critiques have been raised response to their use, including lack transparency sampling strategy, choice questions mode analysis. In this paper, we analyse use aimed at making decisions for conservation. Through structured review 227 papers, explore...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have permeated the entire fabric of academic disciplines that greatly rely on control and decision-making processes such as medical health care, agriculture, ecology industrial automation. In ecology, an infrastructure consisting networks interconnected sensors can provide in-situ high-precision monitoring natural phenomena at a large-scale. Moreover, WSNs number advantages to ecoinformatics possibility constructing quality datasets coupled machine...

The conservation of biodiverse areas around the world has contributed to protection and recovery endangered species. This been case for 11 species Galapagos giant tortoises (Chelonoidis spp.) that today are successfully maintained over six islands: Española, Santiago, Pinzon, Isabela, San Cristobal Santa Cruz. A favourable state will depend however on future development in islands. In Cruz Island agricultural encroached migratory routes southwestern C. porteri may be an emergent conflict...

Conservation conflicts in protected areas are varied and context-specific, but the resulting effects often similar, leading to important losses for both humans wildlife. Several methods approaches have been used mitigate conservation conflicts, with an increasing emphasis on understanding human–human dimension of conflict. In this article, we present a revision several conflict cases management areas, transdisciplinary participatory address finalize by illustrating application nominal group...
