摘要

生态系统恢复是应对社会生态挑战的必要条件,可通过当地社区的参与提高生态系统的恢复能力并减轻贫困。在此,我们回顾了南非夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省 eThekwini 市在 2007 年至 2022 年间实施的一项基于社区的大规模生态系统恢复计划--"为生态系统而努力"。在这项研究中,我们分析了该计划在 2011 年至 2021 年间生成的月度报告和年度报告,以描述该计划如何努力抑制外来入侵植物 (IAP),并为边缘化群体(妇女、青年、退伍军人和残疾人)提供就业机会。年度预算与清除外来入侵植物的面积和工作量(实地工作人日)呈正相关。该计划成功地纳入了边缘化群体,但退伍军人和残疾人的数量仍然较少,而且没有很好地量化。鼓励参与者成立公司--小型、中型和微型企业--然后将其分包给该计划,或将其发展为其他事业,从而使其他社区成员能够参与该计划。实施预算的稳步增长强调了制定长期计划的必要性,以确保恢复和社会生态系统的问责制和可持续性。

Ecosystem restoration coupled with poverty alleviation in eThekwini Municipality, KwaZulu‐Natal Province, South Africa
Ecosystem restoration is a necessity for addressing socio‐ecological challenges by improving ecosystem resilience and alleviating poverty through local community involvement. Here, we review a community‐based, large‐scale ecosystem restoration program, Working for Ecosystems, implemented by eThekwini Municipality in KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa, between 2007 and 2022. For this study, we interrogated monthly and annual reports generated by the program between 2011 and 2021 to describe how the program worked to suppress invasive alien plants (IAPs) and provided employment opportunities to marginalized groups (women, youth, military veterans, and people living with disabilities). Annual budget was positively correlated with the area cleared of IAPs and effort (person‐days in the field). The program successfully incorporated marginalized groups, but military veterans and people living with disabilities remained in smaller numbers and were not well quantified. Participants were encouraged to constitute companies—Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises—that were then subcontracted to the program or could progress to other endeavors, allowing other community members to enter the program. A steady increase in the implementation budget emphasized the need for a long‐term plan to ensure accountability and sustainability of restoration and socio‐ecological systems.

期刊介绍: Restoration Ecology fosters the exchange of ideas among the many disciplines involved with ecological restoration. Addressing global concerns and communicating them to the international research community and restoration practitioners, the journal is at the forefront of a vital new direction in science, ecology, and policy. Original papers describe experimental, observational, and theoretical studies on terrestrial, marine, and freshwater systems, and are considered without taxonomic bias. Contributions span the natural sciences, including ecological and biological aspects, as well as the restoration of soil, air and water when set in an ecological context; and the social sciences, including cultural, philosophical, political, educational, economic and historical aspects. Edited by a distinguished panel, the journal continues to be a major conduit for researchers to publish their findings in the fight to not only halt ecological damage, but also to ultimately reverse it.
