AbstractWhile agroforestry has been well acknowledged for its influential role and benefits in integrated resource management in the global south, its adoption in forest-rich countries with existing community conflict situations is under-explored. Through structured questionnaire surveys and focus group discussions, this study explored the context and factors influencing the adoption of agroforestry practices on farmlands and public lands in the Terai region of southern Nepal. Results from logistic regression models revealed that adoption of agroforestry practices on both farmland and public land could contribute to mitigating conflicts between northern and southern communities. In addition, the adoption of agroforestry practices can be explained by socio-demographic and economic factors such as education, ethnicity, well-being, and gender. Strong cooperation between agroforestry initiatives and local institutions such as forest user groups and local governments in educating and empowering local people from lower socio-economic backgrounds is critical for widespread adoption of agroforestry practices in similar resource-use conflict regions.Keywords: Community forestrylanduse and managementconflict managementnorthern and southern communities Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by authors.Additional informationFundingThis research was funded by The Rufford Foundation, UK, Grant no: 26820-B.

AbstractMost human-wildlife conflict research has focused on large species, with less attention to smaller, less-charismatic species. Our objective was to evaluate landscape-level spatial relationships among human-timber rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus) encounters, attitudes toward timber rattlesnakes, and exurban residential context. Encounters and attitudes data were collected using a mail survey and encounter reports (n = 583). Residential context variables focused on land cover and parcel characteristics. Encounters and similar attitudes toward timber rattlesnakes were spatially clustered on the landscape, and residential context attributes influenced both. Some overlap existed between favorable attitudes related to coexistence with timber rattlesnakes and relatively low concern about the species, whereas encounter-similar attitude clusters were distinct with less overlap. An outreach approach with prescribed messaging strategies based on the localized frequency of encounters, relative attitudes, and land cover may facilitate ability to address resident concerns in an individualized way.Keywords: attitudescrotalus horridusexurbanherptileshuman-wildlife conflicttimber rattlesnakes Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingC.

In urban and suburban areas, the complex socio-environmental landscapes and diverging interests of stakeholders make wildlife management difficult. We analyze how municipalities in Massachusetts make decisions about the management of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Combining statistical analyses of a survey of municipal officials, qualitative analysis of management documents, and semi-structured interviews, we investigate (i) the socio-environmental conditions linked to municipal concerns about deer, (ii) the concerns that prompt municipalities to explore deer management actions, and (iii) why some municipalities take management action while others do not. We find that landscape features, Lyme disease incidence, and an array of concerns about deer prompt municipal governments to explore options for deer management. We show that management champions and small-scale politics are crucial in translating concern to management action. Our study illustrates the complexity of wildlife decision-making in sub/urban environments where the movement of wild animals intersects with patterns of development and politics.

AbstractExtractive capitalism threatens biocultural diversity through the erosion of identity in the Anthropocene. The coastal community of Ketchikan, Alaska, while remote, contends with overtourism and economic dependence on the multinational conglomerate mass cruise industry. Travel restrictions during the COVID-19 lockdown temporarily removed ‘the company’ from the company town identity of Ketchikan. This provided unique research insights into social-ecological impacts and bioregional resilience. Residents of Ketchikan’s greater bioregion provided empirical insights into the industrialization of identity and perceived biocultural impacts through qualitative, semi-structured interviews. This research extends place identity by applying critical ecofeminist-posthumanistic epistemologies that analyze the structural power components of biocultural identities. The findings offer a critical biocultural identity framework comprising nine indicators that serve to substantiate emotions, affect, and sensoryscapes as subjugated knowledges while critiquing the capitalistic colonization of materialisms and the psyche. Future interventions incorporating this framework may inform social science strategies for the conservation of biocultural identity.Keywords: Biocultural identitybioregionconservationecofeminismposthumanismtourism AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank the community of Ketchikan, Alaska for sharing their perspectives with the research team.

AbstractThe cement industry is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than international air traffic, it takes up massive amounts of water and energy in the production process and creates highly destructive stone pit mines. The case we are presenting here stands for a complex transnational struggle for environmental justice involving the indigenous Sedelur Sikep community and a subsidiary of the German HeidelbergCement AG linking the Javanese lime stone landscapes of the Kendeng mountains with nodes of decision-making in Jakarta and Germany. The Kendeng mountains on the island of Java are important sites of social and cultural reproduction for the Sedelur Sikep, providing important ecosystem services. The community rejects the market economy and in particular the trading of products they have not produced themselves. Their practices have contributed to the conservation of this biodiversity rich landscapes for centuries. The plans of the HeidelbergCement AG to construct a cement factory raises concerns among the Sedelur Sikep. The group worries that the factory and the stone pit mine alter the hydrological cycle affecting their wet-rice fields and ultimately their lifestyles. Despite protests by Sedelur Sikep and allied conservation and human-rights organizations, the subsidiary of Heidelberg Cement AG hold son to its plans, referring to a completed environmental impact assessment and related permits.Building on the concepts of environmental justice and epistemic justice, we investigate how the Sedelur Sikep, together with conservation and human-rights organizations have (so far) successfully prevented the construction of the cement factory by challenging the procedural aspects of the permit process, stressing their role as indigenous communities and by challenging dominant forms of knowledge production used in environmental impact assessments. We show how successful resistance is organized employing the mainstream nature conservation narrative. We also show that the employment of different knowledge system is part of a strategy, while the groups own understanding of respecting and living with the mountain goes beyond this mainstream narrative.Keywords: environmental justiceepistemologiesindigenous ontologiescement productionIndonesia Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

AbstractRoadside forests are susceptible to damage from storm events given their exposure and related vulnerability to impacts of multiple stressors. Challenges to management are further complicated in exurban landscapes, where roadside forests are interspersed among fragmented land ownership entities with diverse management objectives. Our objective was to evaluate forest management community information sharing about biophysical stressors affecting roadside vegetation for multiple forestland tract types in Connecticut. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews (n = 39). Results from social network analysis illustrated network structure and interrelationship patterns among community members. Overall network cohesion was low. Core network positions were dominated by few stakeholders. Communication occurred among subgroups comprised of individuals representing several different stakeholder occupation groups. Low cohesion may be inherent of the fragmented exurban landscape with relations focused on shared objectives. Community longevity may depend upon maintaining core-position connections and a less-centralized network composed of individuals from various occupations.Keywords: Exurban forestsforest managementforest stressorsroadside forestsocial network analysissocial networks AcknowledgementsThe authors thank E.

AbstractThis study addresses the contextual vulnerability of farmers using participatory risk mapping with different stakeholders. Additionally, through logistic regression, it identifies factors that influence the perception of climate risk. The results indicate that the perception and relevance of stressors vary among different stakeholders, as well as among farmers of different genders and ages. Non-climatic stressors are more relevant to farmers’ livelihoods than climatic ones, although their interaction can exacerbate the impacts. Non-climate stressors identified in the past in the region continue to exacerbate communities’ vulnerability. The lack of technical assistance is the most serious stressor. The lack of land and the delayed rains are the most severe stressors. Farmers’ knowledge of climate change did not influence their perception of climate risks. Public climate adaptation policies should consider the local context, as well as the gender and age distributions of the public involved.Keywords: AdaptationBrazilclimate changeclimatic and non-climatic risksEnvironmental Hazards-Risks and Healthfood securitygenderglobal climate changelivelihoodsMaranhãoperception of naturerural and agricultural developmentslash-and-burnsocial indicators AcknowledgementsThank the farmers of the Quilombola communities in Alcântara.

AbstractThe resettlement of pastoralists across Tanzania has been driven by socio-economic development goals and resource scarcity, as well as conservation agendas. Lion conflict with pastoralists has been reported in different parts of Tanzania, yet the impacts of pastoralist resettlement on lion conservation have not been well documented in Tanzania.

坦桑尼亚牧民的重新安置受到社会经济发展目标和资源稀缺以及保护议程的驱动。在坦桑尼亚的不同地区都有狮子与牧民发生冲突的报道，但在坦桑尼亚，牧民重新安置对狮子保护的影响还没有很好的记录。我们探讨牧民的重新安置经历如何影响鲁阿哈景观中牧民与狮子的关系和保护工作。我们了解到，尽管鲁阿哈食肉动物项目努力为牧民提供利益，但据报道，狮子冲突和狮子杀戮仍在继续。我们还了解到，牧民与种植户在资源获取和使用(即牧场和水)方面存在冲突，政府官员的偏见待遇，以及在决策过程中缺乏有意义的参与。我们讨论了重新安置到以狮子保护闻名的景观如何影响冲突和保护结果，并为未来有效和公平的行动提供建议。关键词:非洲狮子冲突保护牧民重新安置社会文化坦桑尼亚注:如果有狮子报告给RCP狮子保护者，他们通常是牧民在狮子冲突情况下的第一个联系人，狮子保护者将把信息传递给RCP总部，后者有时会在通知地区办事处或TANAPA办事处后开车去该地区赶走狮子。在某些情况下，例如，如果很难追赶(例如，雾霾)狮子，那么RCP会通知政府官员协助，在大多数情况下，他们会试图吓跑狮子。如果狮子受伤，动物将被刺穿，伤口将得到治疗，必要时将被带回公园。如果一个人被杀死，那么狮子很可能会被护林员杀死。如果狮子是被社区居民杀死的，RCP将记录数据并进行独立调查，政府官员将进行自己的调查。然而，RCP和政府官员之间的数据共享是不确定的。作者感谢拉夫福德小额赠款基金会为本项目提供资金。作者还感谢Amy Dickman博士、Agnes Sirima博士和patronba Matiku先生在提案提交阶段向rufffordsmall Grant Foundation提出的建议以及对本研究的支持。作者感谢Hillary Mrosso、Fenrick Msigwa和Joflet Lyakurwa在实地考察活动中的协助。作者还感谢Kate Hill博士在这项工作的早期阶段提供的宝贵见解和建议。我们也要对所有参与研究的人表示感谢。最后，作者感谢审稿人为改进稿件所给予的周到指导和建议。伦理批准:我们独立于学术机构进行了这项研究;然而，我们遵循了涉及人类受试者的研究的国家和国际协议(坦桑尼亚开放大学研究伦理准则，赫尔辛基宣言)，以及保护国际和Brittain等人(Citation2020)针对人类受试者的保护相关研究的指导。我们只采访了口头上事先给予自由知情同意的参与者(Ibbett和Brittain等人)。Citation2020)，我们尽一切努力确保他们在整个研究过程中的匿名性和保密性，通过使用代码而不是名称，并将所有音频文件和硬拷贝笔记安全地存储在PI的密码保护笔记本电脑上。参与者可以随时拒绝参与或退出研究，或选择不回答任何给定的问题。匿名采访数据可应要求提供，但这是由m.k.自行决定的，包括如何使用数据的声明，以确保参与者的安全。作者ContributionsM.K。设计研究，收集和转录数据，并领导数据分析。C.H.在研究设计、研究和数据分析方面提供指导和协助。两位作者对稿件的撰写和修改贡献均等，两位作者同意发表此稿件。本研究由拉夫福德小额资助基金会批准和资助，资助号27156-1。捐赠人在发表这篇文章中没有任何作用。

In this paper we explore what campesino [peasant] livelihoods in the rural Andean mountains of Colombia offer to understandings of more-than-human co-existence and care. For, while new conservation paradigms promise to transform economic and social horizons, being “paramuno” [resident of the “paramo,” or high moorlands] in the small community of Monquentiva is already characterized by becoming-with-other-beings-and-practices; a disposition toward incorporation of elements that are at-hand, and an ethics of care toward other beings in the landscape. We draw on ethnographic data to present this case study, emphasizing the forms of social organization and persistence that have enabled the emergence of economically and ecologically sustainable livelihoods. We explore these processes in terms of what we call world-making practices, showing how relationships with Indigeneity and collectivity are being renegotiated, and arguing for modes of conservation that engage with existing forms of peasant innovation.
