Our review highlights how traditional ecological knowledge influences people's adaptive capacity to social- ecological change and identifies a set of mechanisms that contribute to such capacity in the context of community-based biodiversity conservation initiatives. Twenty-three publications, including twenty-nine case studies, were reviewed with the aim of investigating how local knowledge, community-based conservation, and resilience interrelate in social-ecological systems. We highlight that such relationships have not been systematically addressed in regions where a great number of community conservation initiatives are found; and we identify a set of factors that foster people's adaptive capacity to social-ecological change and a number of social processes that, in contrast, undermine such capacity and the overall resilience of the social- ecological system. We suggest that there is a need to further investigate how climate variability and other events affect the joint evolution of conservation outcomes and traditional ecological knowledge, and there is a need to expand the current focus on social factors to explain changes in traditional ecological knowledge and adaptive capacity towards a broader approach that pays attention to ecosystem dynamics and environmental change.

  • Toward Holistic Landscape Conservation in the 21St Century Working Paper WP19MW1

Whitfield Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative December 2019 The findings and conclusions of this Working Paper reflect the views of the author(s) and have not been subject to a detailed review by the staff of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. Contact the Lincoln Institute with questions or requests for permission to reprint this paper. [email protected] © 2019 Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Abstract In America we enjoy an amazing conservation legacy. However, all of Planet Earth is in the midst of an environmental and social crisis. Here in the United States, observers often see conflict between efforts to conserve nature in the face of massive loss of biological diversity versus efforts to provide all our people with suitable housing and access to adequate food, clean air and water, and outdoor recreation. Yet both of these challenges are symptomatic of the same threats: a burgeoning human population with out-of-scale environmental impacts, ecological and social fragmentation, and the ever more serious threat of climate change. The emergence of landscape conservation through robust human community collaboration that provides for the non-human interests of wildlife and nature is seen as a necessary approach to meet these daunting challenges. Across the country there are many examples of conservation success through landscape collaboration, but the concept is hindered by incomplete application and a lack of suitable measures of program outcomes. In this paper we make a case for holistic landscape conservation efforts, discuss proposed elements for holistic landscape collaborations that meet both ecological and social goals, and examine the consequences of their implementation in multiple settings.

  • How Can the Conservation & Sustainable Development Program
    MACARTHUR FOUNDATION CONSERVATION WHITE PAPER SERIES | 2010 How can the Conservation & Sustainable Development Program at the MacArthur Foundation adapt the monitoring and evaluation techniques used by grantees and others to suit their needs? Emma Brigham External Relations and Grant Manager Aga Khan Foundation Executive Summary The MacArthur Foundation’s Conservation and Development Program’s (CSD) has seen a growing number of grantees include a social component to their conservation interventions. Macarthur wants to better understand the overlaps between conservation and development and incorporate this learning into the development of a new 2011-2020 CSD strategy. This White Paper considers how: Organisations view the mutual interests of conservation and development, and; Organisations measure the social impacts of their activities, and; MacArthur can better understand their grants’ social impacts and maximise social benefits. Conservation is increasingly seen as a social process. Most conservation interventions aim to address social issues and livelihoods in some way but many organisations continue to grapple with the issues involved because a small, but important, part of the conservation community sees social issues as being of secondary importance to global conservation priorities. As MacArthur positions itself for engaging with social and conservation issues over the next ten years it should reflect on where it perceives the relative importance of local stakeholders to be, and, consider in whose interest conservation activities are undertaken – the interests of local custodians or for the ‘global good’? Opportunities for the foundation to engage are to: i. Promote collaborative relationships between the development and conservation communities, with a focus on process as much as outputs.
