Working with indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) is vital for inclusive assessments of nature nature's linkages people. Indigenous peoples' concepts about what constitutes sustainability, example, differ markedly from dominant sustainability discourses. The Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity Ecosystems Services (IPBES) promoting dialogue across different systems globally. In 2017, member states IPBES adopted an ILK Approach including: procedures people; a participatory mechanism;...
Ecological restoration is key to counteracting anthropogenic degradation of biodiversity and reducing disaster risk. However, there limited knowledge barriers hindering the wider implementation practices, despite high‐level political priority halt loss biodiversity. In Europe, progress on ecological has been slow insufficient meet international agreements comply with European Union Nature Directives. We assessed experts' perceptions in their relative importance, through a multiple expert...
Despite a long-standing debate about the utility of species-centered conservation approaches (Roberge & Angelstam 2004), surrogate species remain popular because they provide useful—or even necessary—shortcuts for successful programs (Caro 2010). Flagship species, prime example surrogate, are primarily intended to promote public awareness and raise funds (Veríssimo et al. 2011). In contrast, protection umbrella is expected benefit wide range co-occurring 2004; Caro Accordingly, main criteria...
The aim of our study is to provide an integrated framework for the management alien plant invasions, combining insights and experiences from fields invasion restoration ecology enable more effective invasive species. To determine linkages between scientific outputs two disciplines we used existing data base on studies 2000 2008 did a bibliometric analysis. We identified type applied, determined by study, conducted content analysis 208 selected with link biological invasions...
Article 8 of the Paris Agreement introduces obligations upon Parties to “with respect Loss and Damage associated with adverse impacts climate change.” According Paragraph 52 Conference Parties’ Decision, is not a basis for liability or compensation. Therefore, problem whether violation leads state responsibility. Using dogmatic method, this research contends that “recognizing significance averting, minimizing, addressing Damage” means acceptance responsibility breach obligations. Although...
Rural-urban migration is a challenging issue for communities, and influenced by interactions between numerous push pull factors. To better understand the interacting drivers of rural-urban migration, study investigates factors which influence from rural areas in Sistan to Mashhad city Iran. The investigation was conducted using questionnaires deep interviews. results show that main reason environmental degradation including drought water scarcity, followed economic government operational...
Nature is declining globally at unprecedented rates with adverse consequences for both ecological and human systems. This paper argues that only transformative change—a fundamental, system-wide reorganization—will be sufficient to arrest reverse this loss meet agreed development goals, including the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework. In search a credible platform help facilitate such change, explores potential of multifunctional ‘scape approaches improve sustainable management outcomes...
One of the challenges for managers is to ensure long‐term sustainability wetlands by protecting their ecological values against natural and human pressures. This study has evaluated past vulnerability status Gavkhooni International Wetland, Isfahan, Iran, using a combination GIS multicriteria spatial decision support systems (MC‐SDSS) processes, propose restoration scenarios. Three scenarios were developed from criteria established field studies expert opinion: (1) wetland preserve existing...
The end of the first working program Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) provided an opportunity to draw lessons from its work. This perspective paper captures insights ecosystem services (ES) researchers practitioners, largely drawing European context (referred herein as 'ES community'), this key science–policy interface. We synthesize reflections a workshop how (i) IPBES can engage ES community; (ii) community with IPBES; (iii)...
Water resource management has numerous environmental challenges, especially in aquatic ecosystems such as rivers due to the heterogeneous distribution of surface water resources, among other diverse impacting factors. In Iran (one countries Middle-East), population growth, development urban communities and agricultural industrial activities provide additional impacts on functioning ecosystems. The United Nations declared third decade this century (2021-2030) ecosystem restoration. study, we...
The 2017 logging ban in Iran's Hyrcanian forests represents a considerable forest policy change, which was proposed following the development of other major policies to improve natural resource management. aim this paper is explain using Kingdon's multiple streams framework (MSF). Qualitative methods – interviewing and document review were used for data collection analysis. problem, politics are shown be linked framing change. We investigate how participants interlinkages between develop...
