Abstract Decades of research and policy interventions on biodiversity have insufficiently addressed the dual issues degradation social justice. New approaches are therefore needed. We devised a action agenda that calls for collective task revisiting toward goal sustaining diverse just futures life Earth. Revisiting involves critically reflecting past present research, policy, practice concerning to inspire creative thinking about future. The was developed through 2‐year dialogue process...
Abstract When deciding how to conserve biodiversity, practitioners navigate diverse missions, sometimes conflicting approaches, and uncertain trade‐offs. These choices are based not only on evidence, funders’ priorities, stakeholders’ interests, policies, but also practitioners’ personal experiences, backgrounds, values. Calls for greater reflexivity—an individual or group's ability examine themselves in relation their actions interactions with others—have appeared the conservation science...
Abstract Payments for ecosystem services (PES) are widely applied incentive‐based instruments with diverse objectives that increasingly include biodiversity conservation. Yet, there is a gap in understanding of how to best assess and monitor programs’ outcomes. We examined perceptions drivers engagement related monitoring through surveys among current PES participants 7 communities Mexico's Selva Lacandona. conducted workshops survey included training field deployment tools used land cover,...
Abstract Payments for ecosystem services (PES) programs have been increasingly studied with a policy mix perspective. So far, the focus has on PES' interplay other conservation instruments and resulting environmental outcomes at meso‐ macrolevels. Though PES often operate among “poor” forest‐dwelling communities in Global South, our knowledge interactions poverty alleviation policies is scarce, especially microlevel. This article examines interactions—in terms of joint coverage, management,...
Abstract Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) provide conditional incentives forest conservation. PES short-term effects on deforestation are well-documented, but we know less about program effectiveness when participation is sustained over time. Here, assess the impact of consecutive renewals contracts and degradation in three municipalities Selva Lacandona (Chiapas, Mexico). reduced both after a single 5-year contract two contracts, impacts only detectable higher deforestation-risk...
Abstract Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) are incentive-based instruments that provide conditional economic incentives natural resources management. Research has shown when parachuted into rural communities, participation and benefits collectively negotiated shared. However, we know little about how benefit-sharing evolves over time in community-based PES. To address this gap, examine distributional justice four communities of the state Chiapas, Mexico, which participate a PES...
This report shows how targeted investments in natural infrastructure the upper basin of Bogotá River can generate significant cost savings for Bogotá’s water utility. These lead to improved security city through more diverse sources and reduced pressure reservoir expansion.
Tropical forests are vital for global biodiversity and climate stability, but the political economy of deforestation land-use change constantly challenges their integrity. In this article, we analyse 50 years policy development in municipality Marqués de Comillas, located Selva Lacandona, Chiapas, Mexico, to understand how conservation priorities have evolved, interacted, shaped a tropical forest frontier. By analysing peer-reviewed literature empirical data, identify five phases continuity...
