“… Targeting the next generation of veterinarians (for example through veterinary student days and specific education) is an international effort that needs to be undertaken, to ensure information is disseminated in the most accurate manner and from as many routes as possible. Build a formal implementation cycle for health strategies with applicable tools and resources [ 85 ], which can then be shared with the Kennel Clubs and breeds. …”

Background: Dogs are the most popular mammal kept as a companion animal globally. Positive human-dog relationships can benefit both the human owners as well as the dogs. However, popularity as a companion animal species does not universally benefit dogs in reverse. Breed-related health problems in dogs have received increasing attention over the last decade, sparking increased concerns for dog welfare across many stakeholders. Progress towards improved welfare requires meaningful collaboration between all those working in dog health, science and welfare. The International Partnership for Dogs (IPFD), together with an alternating host organisation, holds biennial meetings called the International Dog Health Workshops (IDHW). The IPFD 4th IDHW was hosted by the UK Kennel Club in Windsor, UK in May 2019. With the aim of encouraging international and multi-stakeholder collaborations that are effective and ongoing, the 4th IDHW 2019 provided a forum to identify specific needs and actions that could improve health, well-being and welfare in dogs, building on outcomes and evaluating actions of previous IDHWs. Results: The workshop included 126 decision-leaders from 16 countries and was structured around five key themes identified as needing international, multi-stakeholder attention. These included the concept of "breed", supply and demand, breed-specific strategies for health and breeding, genetic testing and extreme conformations. The review of progress made since the 3rd IDHW 2017 and the comprehensive lists of actions agreed upon during the current meeting suggest that movement from information and collaboration to action has been achieved. Working groups with specific tasks were identified and many plan to continue to communicate through forum communities on DogWellNet.com.

“…In 2007, the Slopes to Summit (S2S) partnership formed under the Great Eastern Ranges initiative (GER), a continental scale connectivity conservation initiative for the Great Dividing Range developed to progress connectivity conservation. Carr et al 2017) and this developed a shared understanding of the issues and some spatial prioritization based on both the science, and the local knowledge of the practitioner organizations (Spooner et al 2013). As part of the GER, the S2S partnership undertook a Conservation Action Planning (CAP) process (e.g.…”

Eco Management Restoration

Interactions between landholders, practitioners and research scientists have greatly influenced landscape restoration activities in South‐eastern Australia. Vegetation connectivity projects undertaken by Holbrook Landcare Network in the Slopes to Summit (S2S) region of South‐eastern Australia have benefitted from the input of both scientists and practitioners. This paper explores what factors support an evidence‐informed restoration outcome, what constrains this and what we can learn from this case.

“…The OS framework and Miradi software have been widely implemented in over 115 conservation projects globally (Schwartz et al, 2012), yet the scientific literature on applications remains sparse (see however Carr et al, 2017;Margoluis et al, 2013;Salafsky, 2011). First developed as an aid for practitioners in conservation management, the framework details a procedure to unravel the processes by which actors organise (or ought to organise) actions to achieve certain targets by explicitly mapping causes and effects (Figure 2a).…”

Assessing Policy Issue Interdependencies in Environmental Governance

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The ability to effectively resolve complex environmental problems hinges upon the capacity to address several different challenges in concert. These challenges, what we refer to as policy issues, often relate to one another -they interdepend. Policy issue interdependency has been extensively theorised in the literature, yet few methodological approaches and little empirical evidence exist to translate the concept of policy issue interdependency to the on-the-ground realities facing policy actors in specific cases and contexts. We build from previous studies to develop a methodological procedure that investigates policy issue interdependencies in ways that take into account what measures and possible solutions policy actors have at their disposal in specific cases for specific environmental problems. By applying our methodological procedure to a case of water governance in Sweden, four insights emerged. First, validation by stakeholders confirms that our procedure produces reliable results. Second, we find that many, but certainly not all, policy issues are interdependent. More specifically, different patterns of policy issue interdependencies are associated with the biophysical and the governance spheres, respectively. Third, our results suggest that policy issue interdependencies are most important to consider when the overall level of interdependency is moderate. Last, our study raises new questions about policy actors' perception of policy issue interdependencies. In particular, a key question for future research would be if reinforcing (win-win) or counteracting (trade-off) interdependencies are easier to comprehend and act on for policy actors.
