The draft Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework commits to achievement of equity and justice outcomes represents a "relational turn" in how we understand inclusive conservation. Although "inclusivity" is drawn on as means engage diverse stakeholders, widening the framing inclusivity can create new tensions with regard manage protected areas. We first offer set that emerge light relational turn biodiversity Drawing global case examples applying multiple methods conservation, then...
Ocean-based economic development arising from an increasing interest in the ‘blue economy’ is placing ecosystems and small-scale fisheries under pressure. The dominant policy response for dealing with multiple uses allocation of coastal space through zone planning (CZP). Recent studies have shown that rush to develop blue economy regulate activity can result social injustices exclusion less powerful unrecognized groups (e.g., fishers, women, Indigenous peoples youth). To achieve a primary...
The active participation of local stakeholders in governing protected areas is increasingly recognized biodiversity conservation. While progress has been made countries to facilitate inclusivity conservation decision-making, there limited practical guidance participatory mechanisms enabling stakeholder engagement. Disentangling formal and informal governance arrangements within illuminates how decision-making shaped potentially improved. Here, we provide an analytical framework...
Challenges with human waste management in protected areas are growing globally as nature-based tourism continues to rise. Protected areas, especially core often characterized by lack of infrastructure, including toilets. This contributes a issue accumulating toilet waste, spread disease, and pollution local water bodies soil (in cases high volume). We examined visitors’ values, beliefs attitudes concerning nature. subsequently used these create different communication strategies encourage...
Values are the fundamental reasons why people engage in conservation behaviors. Recent research has called for a more refined approach to studying values way that accounts concept of eudaimonia. However, empirical properties eudaimonic value scale have not been tested given previous investigations remained at theoretical level. Drawing from an on-site survey visitors Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska, we used latent profile analysis better understand expression multiple nature....
Abstract Wind power has become an increasingly important source of renewable energy in Norway. Current demand and production capacity have exceeded expectations stipulated policies a few years back. affects landscape characteristics, the rapid development created considerable public conflict. However, knowledge to date about attitudes toward wind Norway is limited. We surveyed representative sample Norwegian examine relationships between place attachment, localization, policies. also...
The United States National Park Service mandate is to conserve park resources and provide superlative visitor experience. In the context of acoustic resources, Denali Preserve provides an advantageous opportunity understand effect aircraft noise on experience because it possesses high levels air tour traffic in a renowned for its remote, wilderness character. visitors four different settings were asked rate acceptability recordings noise, presented randomized order relative level. A...
Native populations of Eurasian otters compete with humans for resources, in particular Atlantic salmon, which is now on Norway’s red list threatened species. We spoke to Dr Marius Kambestad and Rose Keller about their work investigating the nature humanotter conflict, could then lead more effective strategies manage otter populations.
Communication is a central tool used to manage the balance between outdoor recreation and environmental protection in natural areas. Several studies have evaluated different communication measures case studies, but rarely are these compared across contexts. We review literature guided by question: what scope of evidence on-site change human behavior towards more sustainable direction recreation? Taking areas as our starting point, we map research-based distribution abundance measures, with...
Visions help to understand common ground and tensions among citizens stakeholders, supporting inclusive land management conservation solutions the climate emergency biodiversity crisis. With careful design sufficient resource, it is possible bring together communities other stakeholders share perspectives deliberate desired futures, identifying more acceptable alternatives avoiding costly delays. We evaluated researcher participant experiences of illustration-based interviews visions using...
Abstract Background Communication is a central tool in managing the balance between outdoor recreation and environmental protection. Several studies have evaluated different communication measures nature area case studies, but rarely are these compared across contexts. We systematically map literature guided by question, what evidence base of on-site to change human behavior towards more sustainable direction? Taking vulnerable natural areas as our starting point, we distribution abundance...
The ongoing encroachment of urban land into natural landscapes has resulted in the degradation ecosystems throughout Europe. Understanding why share increased is important for managing growth and maintaining ecosystem services. We estimate a model landscape change that integrates geospatial socioeconomic data spatial autoregressive to explain variance observed Germany between 2000 2006. In doing so, we test several determinants urbanization identified by theoretical frameworks from ecology...
The purpose of the United States national park system is to preserve resources unimpaired for enjoyment future generations. At Denali National Park (DENA), high levels air tour traffic and transportation present challenges preserving wilderness character. Accordingly, attached priority measuring visitor impressions soundscape quality. Visitors in four distinct settings rated acceptability five randomly chosen recordings aircraft noise. We used a cumulative link mixed model fit visitor’s...

Although these value metrics have been discussed in previous research carry relevance decision-makers, no studies to date empirically tested the relationships among all five dimensions better understand factors that drive conservation behavior. Using on-site visitor survey data from Denali National Park (AK, USA; n=667), we a five-dimensional scale. latent profile analysis examine visitors’ perceived qualities...
