“…Interviews confirmed our a priori understanding that, despite having commonalities with rangeland elsewhere (e.g., Farley et al ), ranching landscapes in the Calgary region represent a unique cultural landscape that incorporates interacting material features, land‐use practices, and socio‐cultural characteristics. Not all participants felt that ranching landscapes exist as distinct entities, given the mixed nature of many agricultural operations in the Calgary area.…”

“…It can be particularly important in encouraging landscape stewardship, as other studies have found (Farmer et al ; Hurley ; Winthrop ; Plieninger et al ). The implication of this for land‐use planning is that, to echo Kerselaers et al (, 205), strategies and solutions to encourage good land stewardship need to “match the different values at play.” More non‐economic, deliberative techniques are needed to involve private landowners in eliciting and assessing both what is important to protect, and what is most vulnerable (Milcu et al ; Iniesta‐Arandia et al ; Plieninger et al ; Farley et al ).…”

In recent years, ranching landscapes in the region of Calgary, Alberta have experienced intensifying land‐use pressures related to urban growth and development. At the same time, Alberta's land‐use policies have introduced voluntary, market‐based incentives to encourage the conservation and stewardship of private land. Given this new emphasis, this study aims to better understand different perspectives of ranching landscapes among residents and landowners in two rural municipalities surrounding Calgary. Drawing on cultural landscapes and political ecology literatures, this paper identifies four broad categories of ranching landscape values that participants felt were important to maintain: lifestyle and community values; ecological values; production values; and economic values and property rights. Participants’ diverse place meanings suggest a need to expand the ways in which landscapes are understood and assessed within local contexts, as a strategy for promoting private land stewardship and for resolving tensions in land‐use planning processes.

“…The results suggest that it is possible to simultaneously pursue environmental and human values and may be applicable to other regions where biodiversity richness and high fire risk overlap. https://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol23/iss2/art3/ The second article in this theme by Farley et al (2017) is also located in San Diego County, California, USA, and focuses on rangelands. Based on geographic information system analyses of land use changes and 13 in-depth interviews with ranchers, the authors investigated the rate of rangeland conversion and participation in rangeland conservation programs.…”

In many countries around the globe, private freehold lands cover large areas. Conservation on these private lands, next to statutory protected areas, promises to play a critical role in efforts for reaching internationally agreed environmental protection targets. Lying at the heart of an emerging land system science, in which ecology, economics, geography, psychology, and other social sciences interact, private land conservation is reflecting the intertwined and multiscalar processes of our rapidly transforming world. Situated at this disciplinary meeting point, private land conservation invites a great breadth of approaches and cross-disciplinary work that offer deep insights into social and environmental change, often from surprising angles. Although many questions remain in private land conservation, we can now build on a large body of recent high-quality studies as we push this field forward in both research and practice. The Special Feature "Private Land Conservation-Landowner Motives, Policies, and Outcomes of Conservation Measures in Unprotected Landscapes" brings together contributions that explore the diversity of recent advances in private land conservation science. As an introduction to this Special Feature, first we are reviewing recent dynamics in important social-ecological drivers with bearing on private land conservation science. We go on to introduce the individual contributions to this Special Feature and then examine common themes as they are emerging from these papers, including the need for flexibility in conservation approaches, pursuit of community cobenefits of conservation, increasing consideration of environmental justice questions, and acknowledgment of the importance of social psychology in shaping private land conservation. We conclude with identification of knowledge gaps and recommendations for future research, as we advance from diagnostics to normative work in private land conservation science.

“…To further enhance collaboration, it is imperative that political support be obtained at multiple levels, including national, provincial, and district and local government agencies (1.1, Table 1). Ultimately, the efficiency of private and public land conservation may be improved through better integration (SANBI, 2017;Farley et al, 2017).…”

A clearly defined geographical space, recognised, dedicated and managed, through legal or other effec ve means, to achieve the long-term conserva on of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values. The defini on is expanded by six management categories (one with a subdivision), summarized below. Ia Strict nature reserve: Strictly protected for biodiversity and also possibly geological/ geomorphological features, where human visitation, use and impacts are controlled and limited to ensure protection of the conservation values. Ib Wilderness area: Usually large unmodified or slightly modified areas, retaining their natural character and influence, without permanent or significant human habitation, protected and managed to preserve their natural condition. II National park: Large natural or near-natural areas protecting large-scale ecological processes with characteristic species and ecosystems, which also have environmentally and culturally compatible spiritual, scientific, educational, recreational and visitor opportunities. III Natural monument or feature: Areas set aside to protect a specific natural monument, which can be a landform, sea mount, marine cavern, geological feature such as a cave, or a living feature such as an ancient grove. IV Habitat/species management area: Areas to protect particular species or habitats, where management reflects this priority. Many will need regular, active interventions to meet the needs of particular species or habitats, but this is not a requirement of the category. V Protected landscape or seascape: Where the interaction of people and nature over time has produced a distinct character with significant ecological, biological, cultural and scenic value: and where safeguarding the integrity of this interaction is vital to protecting and sustaining the area and its associated nature conservation and other values. VI Protected areas with sustainable use of natural resources: Areas which conserve ecosystems, together with associated cultural values and traditional natural resource management systems. Generally large, mainly in a natural condition, with a proportion under sustainable natural resource management and where low-level nonindustrial natural resource use compatible with nature conservation is seen as one of the main aims.
