Numerous assessments have quantified, mapped, and valued the services provided by ecosystems that are important for human wellbeing. However, much of literature does not clarify how information gathered in such could be used to inform decisions will impact ecosystem services. We propose process making management comprises five core steps: identification problem its social–ecological context; specification objectives associated performance measures; defining alternative actions evaluating...
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 Marine ecosystem services are in global decline, which requires new transformational changes governance to cope with multiple anthropogenic stressors. We perform a systematic literature review of the biodiversity and outcomes transformation toward comanagement through allocation territorial user rights artisanal fisher associations (TURFs) Chile. synthesize implications more than 25 years establishing TURF policy over services. Results show TURFs sustain all typologies when they...
Abstract The Mediterranean‐type climate region of Chile is a globally unique biodiversity hotspot but its protected area system does not adequately represent the biological diversity, nor it provide equitable access to people. We explored options expand cost‐effectively improve conservation forest ecosystem types while simultaneously enhancing social accessibility areas. Social defined as municipalities cultural services provided by areas which depends on distance highly demanded and income...
Abstract The identification of research questions with high relevance for biodiversity conservation is an important step towards designing more effective policies and management actions, to better allocate funding among alternative options. However, the priority may be influenced by regional differences in threats social contexts, variations perceptions interests different stakeholders. Here we describe results a prioritization exercise involving six types stakeholders from Mediterranean...
Abstract Conservation triage is an evolving strategy designed to allocate limited resources address pressures that require urgent actions due their consequences on biodiversity and essential ecosystem services for human well‐being. This perspective proposes a structured, ethical inclusive conservation triage‐based framework efficiently addressing socio‐ecological requirements in conservation, leveraging resources. Based three main pillars—conservation planning, policy governance...
Abstract Sustainability is a key challenge for humanity in the context of complex and unprecedented global changes. Future Earth, an international research initiative aiming to advance sustainability science, has recently launched knowledge–action networks (KANs) as mechanisms delivering its strategy. The currently developing KAN on “natural assets” facilitate enable action-oriented synthesis towards natural assets sustainability. ‘Natural assets’ been adopted by Earth umbrella term...
Abstract Distinguishing between natural forests from exotic tree plantations is essential to get an accurate picture of the world’s state forests. Most support lower levels biodiversity and have less potential for ecosystem services supply than forests, differencing them still a challenge using standard tools. We use novel approach in south-central Chile differentiate cover dynamics among plantations. has one most competitive forestry industry region global hotspot. Our collaborative visual...
Abstract Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is one of world's most biodiverse regions, but this diversity threatened by overexploitation natural resources internal social conflicts. In 2018, 33 LAC countries were invited to sign ratify landmark Escazú Agreement, which first legally binding environmental agreement explicitly integrate human rights with matters. The outlines an approach enhance protection defenders, increase public participation in decision‐making, foster cooperation among...
Healthy ecosystems play a key role in conserving biodiversity as well promoting human well-being. However, activities put significant pressure on ecosystems, posing risk to ecological features (e.g., species, habitats, eco-services). Despite solutions based Systematic Conservation Planning (SCP) principles, traditional approaches could produce aversion, directing management actions low-impact sites. Here, we propose mixed-integer programming approach find the most cost-effective set of...
