“…A pesar de que no existe un vínculo institucional directo entre el programa de Pago por Servicios Ambientales, PSA, y el proceso de certificación, contar con un certificado de ADVC, otorgado por Conanp, incrementa la elegibilidad de las comunidades para programas de subsidios ambientales. En 2010, 46% de las ADVC establecidas en Oaxaca recibía PSA (Martin et al, 2010), por tanto, es posible inferir que la obtención de PSA constituye una motivación para la certificación de ADVC por parte de comunidades que han contado con áreas comunitarias de conservación previas a la certificación pero que hasta el momento no habían tenido un incentivo para formalizarlas y someterse a restricciones diseñadas externamente (Durand et al, 2014).…”

“…Oaxaca es el estado con mayor diversidad biológica y cultural del país, sus comunidades han sentado ejemplos a nivel nacional de manejo comunitario de recursos naturales; también es el estado donde las ADVC han sido más ampliamente difundidas como alternativas al establecimiento de ANP (Martin et al, 2010). En la práctica, sin embargo, estos enfoques de conservación "participativa" han resultado el medio para ampliar superficies protegidas sin que necesariamente los conocimientos y prioridades locales sean consideradas durante la toma de decisiones (Durand et al, 2014).…”

“…Many studies have highlighted the importance of public participation for the success of biosphere reserves [17][18][19], and ours is no exception (sub-category P4). However, the way participatory processes are developed (P5), including who participates, in which moments and the available information, was also found to be important (e.g., [51]). Other relevant factors related to the decision making include the way the process was initiated (top-down, bottom-up or mixed; P3), the degree of centralization of the management body (P6), coordination and leadership (P7), and which institutions (P8)-formal or informal-are mainly used for management.…”

“…Design and organization of participatory meetings, including pre-, during, and post-meeting settings; who is included, balance of power and participatory exclusions [75]. Pre-meeting settings include who participates in the agenda setting, if the information is available to everyone before the meeting and how are invitations to the meeting disseminated; during the meeting settings include how are decisions made, if the information was provided in an adequate format, if there are mechanisms to ensure that everyone has time to speak; post-meeting settings include if there are mechanisms to monitor the implementation of the decisions [51].…”

A Social–Ecological Systems Framework as a Tool for Understanding the Effectiveness of Biosphere Reserve Management

Biosphere reserves aim to reconciliate social and economic development with biodiversity conservation through complex spatial and governance arrangements. However, there is a generalized lack of information about how biosphere reserves are being managed and governed, and at what point their goals are being achieved, which limits a better understanding of the factors influencing biosphere reserve management effectiveness. Building on a systematic review of existing empirical studies, we developed a framework that identifies the main features related to biosphere reserve management effectiveness. We identified four main categories—context, inputs, process and outcomes—and 53 sub-categories, which interact at different scales and shape biosphere reserve effectiveness. We found that the capacity of biosphere reserves to achieve their goals is not only related to the way they are managed/governed, or to the inputs invested, but to many social and ecological contextual factors. We also identified benefits and impacts that were associated to biosphere reserves around the world. Comparing to other social–ecological system frameworks, ours provides a more inclusive approach, since it integrates the findings of studies with different research perspectives, considers a plurality of values attributed to natural resources, and the social–ecological system’s scales dynamics.

“…The space of participation is a complex social and physical environment that is accessed—not necessarily equally—by diverse actors. Myopia about power relations potentially contributes to participation failure, confounding good intentions and even explicit rules designed to ensure respectful behaviour and procedural justice (see Durand et al ; Gaynor ; Carvalho et al ). Indigenous and participatory methodologies are now widely advocated (see, for example, Government of Nunavut, n.d.) and have helped innovate ways to re‐centre people and community within environmental and development decisions, but they do not consistently deliver procedural justice or dissolve post‐colonial power relations (Louis ; de Leeuw et al ; Enns et al ).…”

Key MessagesPublic hearings function as rituals of participatory democracy whereby indigenous actors must establish their legitimacy via Western communication ideals.Environmental communication as data, story, and behaviour in participation exercises reveal shifting cultural ways of knowing and communicating.Spatial marginalization is related to invited participation in place, the distancing effects of place characteristics, and the experience of being out of place.Public hearings, as a communication tool for community engagement, uphold the processes and assumptions of deliberative participation, but the power relations entwined in participation space are often unremarked. The spatiality of participation can serve to marginalize those publics most affected by environmental policy, such as remote communities reliant on subsistence harvesting. Spatial marginalization was evident when the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board invited Hunters and Trappers Organizations from four Kitikmeot communities to caribou hearings in June 2016 to discuss a proposed total allowable harvest. The hearings were held in Cambridge Bay, the administrative centre of the Kitikmeot region, a hamlet in western Nunavut singular in its economic growth and population diversity. In situ observation during the hearings coupled with a content analysis of hearing transcripts and interviews with attendees suggest that decisions on participation space affect access materially because of who can be there in place to participate, and socially because of the place characteristics of participation. Participants can also be constrained by being out of place, cleaved from the affective support of their communities. At the Nunavut caribou hearings, spatial marginalization emerged as a dark side to participatory democracy. Recognizing this marginalization is a condition for overcoming it. The Canadian Geographer Le Géographe canadienThe Canadian Geographer Le Géographe canadien discuter d'une proposition de r ecolte totale autoris ee. Les audiences se sont tenues a Cambridge Bay, le centre administratif de la r egion de Kitikmeot, un hameau dans l'ouest du Nunavut qui se distingue par sa croissance economique et la diversit e de sa population. Des observations sur place lors des audiences combin ees a une analyse du contenu des transcriptions des audiences et a des entrevues avec des participants sugg erent que les d ecisions sur l'espace de participation ont une incidence sur l'acc es, d'une part physiquement en raison de l'identit e des personnes qui peuventêtre l a sur place pour participer et d'autre part socialement en raison des caract eristiques du lieu de la participation. Les participants peuvent egalementêtre gên es parce qu'ils sont d eplac es, etant coup es du soutien affectif de leur communaut e. Lors des audiences sur les caribous au Nunavut, la marginalisation spatiale est apparue comme un côt e obscur de la d emocratie participative. La reconnaissance de cette marginalisation est une condition pour la surmonter.
