Social science is becoming increasingly important in conservation, with more studies involving methodologies that collect data from and about people. Conservation a normative applied discipline designed to support inform management practice. Poor research practice risks harming participants and, researchers, can leave negative legacies. Often, those at the forefront of field-based are early-career many whom enter their first experience ill-prepared for ethical conundrums they may face. We...
Ethnobiology, like many fields, was shaped by early Western imperial efforts to colonize people and lands around the world extract natural resources. Those legacies practices persist today continue influence institutions ethnobiologists are a part of, how they carry out research, their personal beliefs actions. Various authors have previously outlined five overlapping “phases” of ethnobiology. Here, we argue that ethnobiology should move toward sixth phase in which scholars practitioners...
Abstract The participation of communities living in high conservation value areas is increasingly valued science and practice, potentially producing multiple positive impacts on both biodiversity local people. Here, we discuss important steps for implementing a successful extreme citizen project, based four case studies from projects with Pantaneiro fishers Brazilian Pantanal wetland, Baka hunter‐gatherers Fang farmers lowland wet forest Cameroon, Maasai pastoralists Kenya, Ju|'hoansi...
The Sapelli smartphone application aims to support any community engage in citizen science activities address local concerns and needs. However, was designed developed not as a piece of technology without context, but the technical part socio-technical approach establish participatory process. This paper provides methodological framework for implementing using field. Specifically, we present role within an “Extreme Citizen Science” (ECS) methodology that is based on design. enables Sapelli’s...
Citizen science is currently at the forefront of environmental scientific research and public policy for its potential to improve governance, restore epistemic trust help address some most stressing challenges. Although citizen gaining increasing popularity, there little empirical evidence support these claims demonstrate how bottom-up shapes in governance science. In this paper we reflect on three grassroot initiatives Cameroon, Japan, UK identify present an instrumental framework which...
Abstract In the context of climate change, biodiversity decline and social injustice, reciprocity emerges as a way living being in this world that holds transformative potential. Concepts vary are enacted specific cultural practices grounded Indigenous local knowledge systems. This editorial synthesises first‐hand evidence how practising can result positive reciprocal contributions between people nature. It also offers theoretical justification why considering lead to more equitable,...
This report aims to enhance our understanding of stakeholder mapping for co-created citizen science initiatives. It presents and discusses findings from an international two-day workshop with researchers, event organizers, communication experts, artists realizing activities. Participants identified examples co-creation in their work mapped stakeholders three initiatives the "Doing Together Science" project. For each case, we provide overview groups involved lessons derived identifying actual...
Abstract Reciprocity and relationality are themes which frequently emerge with respect to human–nature associations in Indigenous groups around the world. But many hunter‐gatherers have been shown reject systems of reciprocity, instead favouring unconditional sharing both between each other their environment through egalitarian social structures. Investigations reciprocity Central African has neglected. In this article, we investigate how Baka‐forest relationships intersect concepts what...
Abstract The overwhelming global dominance of modern industrialism stifles the visibility alternative ways being in present and what solutions to large-scale challenges may be appropriate. This paper describes how novel high-tech digital tools can co-designed with people different worldviews or ‘ontologies’ better represent their normally marginalised understandings, so begin generate a pluriverse localised pathways address future. To do so, such are not considered as technological artefacts...
