Abstract Conflicts between people over wildlife are widespread and damaging to both the involved. Such issues often termed human–wildlife conflicts. We argue that this term is misleading may exacerbate problems hinder resolution. A review of 100 recent articles on conflicts reveals 97 were conservation other human activities, particularly those associated with livelihoods. suggest we should distinguish impacts human–human be explicit about different interests involved in conflict. Those...
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...
A better, more effective dialogue is needed between biodiversity science and policy to underpin the sustainable use conservation of biodiversity. Many initiatives exist improve communication, but these largely conform a 'linear' or technocratic model communication in which scientific "facts" are transmitted directly advisers "solve problems". While this can help start dialogue, it is, on its own, insufficient, as decision taking complex, iterative often selective information used. Here, we...
The concept of ecosystem services has gained a strong political profile during the last 15 years. However, there is no specific EU policy devoted to governing services. This article shows that already embedded in recent (environmentally-related) policies, such as Biodiversity Strategy 2020 and Invasive Alien Species Regulation. Our review 12 policies that, overall, coherence between existing moderate. Policies showing very high are confined arenas address natural ecosystems, forestry, or...

The promise that ecosystem service assessments will contribute to better decision-making is not yet proven. We analyse how knowledge on services actually used inform land and water management in 22 case studies covering different social-ecological systems European Latin American countries. None of the reported instrumental use a sense would have served as an impartial arbiter between policy options. Yet, most cases, there was some evidence conceptual learning result close interaction...
By linking iterative learning and knowledge generation with power-sharing, adaptive co-management (ACM) provides a potential solution to resolving complex social-ecological problems. In this paper we evaluate ACM as mechanism for conservation conflict using case study in Scotland, where seal salmon fishery stakeholders have opposing entrenched objectives. emerged 2002, successfully long-standing conflict. Applying evaluation approaches from the literature, 2011 interviewed characterise...
Abstract Background There is a strong policy impetus for the One Health cross-sectoral approach to address complex challenge of zoonotic diseases, particularly in low/lower middle income countries (LMICs). Yet implementation this LMIC contexts such as India has proven challenging, due partly relatively limited practical guidance and understanding on how foster sustain cross-sector collaborations. This study addresses gap by exploring facilitators barriers successful convergence between...
Abstract There are strong links between heritage and the environment yet, is not fully included in existing ecosystem‐based frameworks. Different understandings of values exist, yet related to key value categories environmental research. To address this gap facilitate a common values‐based approach, we develop novel framework that values. First, expand understanding by linking categories. We then use Life Framework Values show how features different ways which people relate world. The...
To address the ongoing deterioration of marine ecosystems and its consequences on livelihood, European Union (EU) now aims to achieve 30% coverage Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), with 10% under strict protection per region.Here, we provide first assessment levels EU MPAs, describing level legal restrictions activities using MPA Guide framework.While MPAs covered 11.4% national waters in 2022, 0.2% were fully or highly protected.As much as 86% showed low protection, would not be considered...
Abstract Lack of public support for, and protest against, biodiversity management measures have often been explained by the apparently inadequate knowledge in general public. In stark contrast to this assumption ignorance, our results from focus group discussions The Netherlands, Germany Scotland show that members use very rich complex social representations argue for particular approaches management. Within these representations, we identified important components, such as (i) functions...
