The increasing use of stakeholder analysis in natural resource management reflects a growing recognition that stakeholders can and should influence environmental decision making. Stakeholder be used to avoid inflaming conflicts, ensure the marginalization certain groups is not reinforced, fairly represent diverse interests. We present case study from Peak District National Park United Kingdom, where we social network inform analysis. This information helped us identify which individuals...
Abstract This article differentiates between descriptive and explanatory factors to develop a typology theory of stakeholder public engagement. The describes different types engagement, the comprises four that explain much variation in outcomes (for natural environment and/or for participants) First, we use narrative literature search new engagement based on agency (who initiates leads engagement) mode (from communication coproduction). We then propose from engagement: (1) number...
Social valuation of ecosystem services and public policy alternatives is one the greatest challenges facing ecological economists today. Frameworks for valuing nature increasingly include shared/social values as a distinct category values. However, values, well their relationship to other has not yet been clearly established empirical evidence about importance lacking. To help address these theoretical limitations, this paper outlines framework across five dimensions: value concept,...
The most critical question for climate research is no longer about the problem, but how to facilitate transformative changes necessary avoid catastrophic climate-induced change. Addressing this question, however, will require massive upscaling of that can rapidly enhance learning transformations. Ten essentials guiding action-oriented transformation and energy are therefore presented, framed in relation second-order science. They include: (1) Focus on transformations low-carbon, resilient...
This paper outlines five principles for effective practice of knowledge exchange, which when applied, have the potential to significantly enhance impact environmental management research, policy and practice. The is based on an empirical analysis interviews with 32 researchers stakeholders across 13 research projects, each included elements co-creation sharing in their design. projects focused a range upland catchment issues UK, Research Council, Government NGO funded projects. Preliminary...

Given the growing popularity of indicators among policy‐makers to measure progress toward conservation and sustainability goals, there is an urgent need develop that can be used accurately by both specialists nonspecialists, drawing from knowledge possessed each group. This paper uses a case study Kalahari, Botswana show how participatory ecological methods combined robust are accessible range users monitor enhance land management. First, potential environmental were elicited pastoralists in...
Experts working on behalf of international development organisations need better tools to assist land managers in developing countries maintain their livelihoods, as climate change puts pressure the ecosystem services that they depend upon. However, current understanding livelihood vulnerability is based a fractured and disparate set theories methods. This review therefore combines theoretical insights from sustainable livelihoods analysis with other analytical frameworks (including...
Valuation that focuses only on individual values evades the substantial collective and intersubjective meanings, significance value from ecosystems. Shared, plural cultural of ecosystems constitute a diffuse interdisciplinary field research, covering an area links questions around ontology, elicitation aggregation with participation, ethics, social justice. Synthesising understanding various contributions to this Special Issue Ecosystem Services, particular focus deliberation deliberative...

The exponential rise of information available means we can now, in theory, access knowledge on almost any question ask. However, as the amount unverified increases, so too does challenge deciding which to trust. Farmers, when learning about agricultural innovations, have historically relied in-person advice from traditional 'experts', such advisers, inform farm management. As more farmers go online for information, it is not clear whether they are now using digital corroborate or if...
