“…Good landscape outcomes require strong laws and institutions, transparency, effective negotiations, and credible leadership [41]. Citizen science cannot compensate for the absence of these preconditions but it can contribute to the emergence of the context that is needed to enable landscape approaches to achieve their potential benefits.…”

Initiatives to manage landscapes for both biodiversity protection and sustainable development commonly employ participatory methods to exploit the knowledge of citizens. We review five examples of citizen groups engaging with landscape scale conservation initiatives to contribute their knowledge, collect data for monitoring programs, study systems to detect patterns, and test hypotheses on aspects of landscape dynamics. Three are from landscape interventions that deliberately target biodiversity conservation and aim to have sustainable development as a collateral outcome. The other two are driven primarily by concerns for agricultural sustainability with biodiversity conservation as a collateral outcome. All five include programs in which, management agencies support data collection by citizen groups to monitor landscape changes. Situations where citizen groups self-organise to collect data and interpret data to aid in landscape scale decision making are OPEN ACCESSLand 2015, 4 1201 less common and are restricted to landscapes where the inhabitants have a high level of scientific literacy. Given the complexity of landscape processes and the multiple decision makers who influence landscape outcomes we argue that citizen science broadly defined should be an essential element of landscape scale initiatives. Conservation managers should create space for citizen engagement in science and should empower citizen groups to experiment, learn, and adapt their decision-making to improve landscape scale outcomes.

“…1; Swanwick and Consultants 2002). The outcome of these synergies creates dynamic and evolving landscapes, which are consequently multifunctional and best understood contextually and historically (Antrop 2005(Antrop , 2006Beilin and Bohnet 2015;Bohnet and Konold 2015;Christensen and Gaire 2014;Hashimoto et al 2014;Sayer et al 2014). We argue that sustainability science, as a growing field of inquiry, offers important insights into the tremendous challenges that researchers face who are committed to act as catalysts for changing societal values that support pathways towards sustainable landscapes.…”

“…What is sustainable today will be understood differently in 10 years-that is the history of the wet tropics and of the landcare plantings (Beilin and Bohnet 2015). We cannot wait for everything to be aligned or all pre-conditions to be met (Sayer et al 2014), for symmetry across all landscapes. Each place and its context will be socially and ecologically different.…”

Power in resilience and resilience's power in climate change scholarship

Resilience thinking has undergone profound theoretical developments in recent decades, moving to characterize resilience as a socio‐natural process that requires constant negotiation between a range of actors and institutions. Fundamental to this understanding has been a growing acknowledgment of the role of power in shaping resilience capacities and politics across cultural and geographic contexts. This review article draws on a critical content analysis, applied to a systematic review of recent resilience literature to examine how scholarship has embraced nuanced conceptualizations of how power operates in resilience efforts, to move away from framings that risk reinforcing patterns of marginalization. Advancing a framework inspired by feminist theory and feminist political ecology, we analyze how recent work has presented, documented, and conceptualized how resilience intersects with patterns of inequity. In doing so, we illuminate the importance of knowledge, scale, and subject making in understanding the complex ways in which power and resilience become interlinked. We illustrate how overlooking such complexity may have serious consequences for how socio‐natural challenges and solutions are framed in resilience scholarship and, in turn, how resilience is planned and enacted in practice. Finally, we highlight how recent scholarship is advancing the understandings necessary to make sense of the shifting, contested, and power‐laden nature of resilience. Paying attention to, and building on, such complexity will allow scholarly work to illuminate the ways in which resilience is negotiated within inequitable processes and to address the marginalization of those continuing to bear the brunt of the climate crisis.
