“…Although many populations rely upon illegal extraction of resources for their livelihoods, others receive substantial income from illegal poaching and trade (Pratt et al, 2004;Tacconi, 2008;Yonariza and Webb, 2007). Illegal resource users may also deplete opportunities for legal users to benefit from natural resources (Kahler et al, 2013), for example through reduced access to food to meet dietary needs and reduced legally harvestable resources available for subsistence, commercial, cultural, or recreational purposes (Sethi and Hilborn, 2008).…”

“…Non-compliance with conservation regulations can constitute a threat to conservation goals in every biome on the planet (Gavin et al, 2010), and impacts conservation programs ranging from protected areas (Hilborn et al, 2006;Yonariza and Webb, 2007) to endangered species (Burton, 1999;Dinerstein et al, 2007;Koch et al, 2006). The biological impacts of non-compliance range from genetic to ecosystem scales.…”

a b s t r a c tThis paper establishes the context for the special issue, ''Detecting and Understanding Violations of Conservation Rules''. Illicit or non-compliant human behaviors may occur in all ecosystems and range from subsistence illegal resource collection to poaching by organized criminal syndicates. Such acts have an enormous impact on social-ecological systems, but monitoring non-compliance is challenging, primarily because the topic is sensitive and victims are voiceless. The future of many conservation areas depends upon compliance with conservation rules. However, with a growing human population, consumptive societies, and rapid expansion of business opportunities fueled by new technology, there is little doubt that demand will remain steady or increase for many of our natural resources. We outline major conservation compliance issues and impacts, and review models and methods used to monitor and respond to the problem for both subsistence and commercial non-compliance.

“…We found that illegal activities related to suppression and degradation of vegetation, illegal fishing and hunting activities were the most commonly recorded. These three activities have been highlighted in several assessments of biodiversity threats globally: hunting and the illegal wildlife trade ( Dudley, Stolton & Elliott, 2013 ; Nijman, 2015 ; Sharma et al, 2014 ; Tella & Hiraldo, 2014 ; Underwood, Burn & Milliken, 2013 ); fishing in prohibited locations, outside permitted periods and in excess of established quantities or sizes ( Free, Jensen & Mendsaikhan, 2015 ; Sethi & Hilborn, 2008 ; Thomas, Gavin & Milfont, 2015 ); and illegal logging, deforestation and degradation of vegetation ( Chicas et al, 2017 ; Curran et al, 2004 ; Funi & Paese, 2012 ; Yonariza & Webb, 2007 ). Although illegal activities related to the suppression and degradation of vegetation, illegal fishing, and poaching activities were those most frequently recorded in Amazonian PAs, it does not mean that other less prominent illegal activities are not of concern.…”

BackgroundThe Brazilian Amazon is the world’s largest rainforest regions and plays a key role in biodiversity conservation as well as climate adaptation and mitigation. The government has created a network of protected areas (PAs) to ensure long-term conservation of the region. However, despite the importance of and positive advances in the establishment of PAs, natural resource depletion in the Brazilian Amazon is pervasive.MethodsWe evaluated a total of 4,243 official law enforcement records generated between 2010 and 2015 to understand the geographical distribution of the illegal use of resources in federal PAs in the Brazilian Amazon. We classified illegal activities into ten categories and used generalized additive models (GAMs) to evaluate the relationship between illegal use of natural resources inside PAs with management type, age of PAs, population density, and accessibility.ResultsWe found 27 types of illegal use of natural resources that were grouped into 10 categories of illegal activities. Most infractions were related to suppression and degradation of vegetation (37.40%), followed by illegal fishing (27.30%) and hunting activities (18.20%). The explanatory power of the GAMs was low for all categories of illegal activity, with a maximum explained variation of 41.2% for illegal activities as a whole, and a minimum of 14.6% for hunting activities.DiscussionThese findings demonstrate that even though PAs are fundamental for nature conservation in the Brazilian Amazon, the pressures and threats posed by human activities include a broad range of illegal uses of natural resources. Population density up to 50 km from a PA is a key variable, influencing illegal activities. These threats endanger long-term conservation and many efforts are still needed to maintain PAs that are large enough and sufficiently intact to maintain ecosystem functions and protect biodiversity.

The cognitive elements of social capital need to be elaborated to understand the community-based forest management, such as the practice of parak and rimbo in the Koto Malintang and Simancuang communities. This study aims to identify and describe these cognitive elements. The research method used was case study method with constructivism paradigm. The data was collected using interview, observation, and document review techniques. Cognitive social capital can be developed through local ecological knowledge that has become part of Minangkabau customs and culture. The results showed that cognitive elements in the form of norms, values, beliefs and attitudes can describe how the community plans, utilizes, and controls the forest resource management. The identification of these cognitive elements shows that people pay attention to the principles of sustainability, justice, ability, security, profit, opportunity, and well-being.
