“…Those shortcomings include a lack of recognition of local practices, traditions, resource uses, local knowledge, and a tendency to favor vested powerful interests. In addition, addressing the economic needs of people living in or near protected areas is also a critical management facet that the classical conservation approach generally ignores (Stolton et al, 2021). Accordingly, collaborative governance and vertical interactions among multiple actors at multiple scales have emerged as a response to these shortcomings.…”

“…Communication is useful, among other things, to map the priorities and needs of the local community. Stolton et al (2021) also argue that addressing economic needs is an important management facet. Knowing the economic drivers behind the resource users' behavior can help capture the complexity of the situation and make decisions that match the local context.…”

“…A recent study by Vázquez-Villa et al (2020) notes that financial support from international organizations is a strength for conservation and that a management scheme that combines environmental governance, institutional management capacity, and international cooperation to ensure financial support must be the new model for natural protected areas. Stolton et al (2021) argue that many important protected areas will not be able to generate their finances and will therefore need continued support from governments or private donors. Furthermore, Stolton et al (2021) argue that even where successful sustainable businesses have been developed, protected areas need the assurance of sustainability and long-term financial resources to create favorable economic conditions for management in general and to provide replacement funding in cases of emergency.…”

PROPOSITIONS 1. Local support for coastal protected area management will only be successful if community engagement is truly institutionalized. (this thesis) 2. Embedding local knowledge in management plans is fundamental to securing sustainable outcomes in coastal conservation. (this thesis) 3. For oil & gas exploitation to become beneficial for Suriname, sustainability assessments are crucial. 4. In-company training requires different learning strategies than university courses. 5. Contrary to what many believe, a Ph.D. study and a full-time job match well.

Using carbon management as a sustainable strategy for protected and conserved areas

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Countries are edging towards an agreement to set aside 30% of land and ocean into protected and conserved areas. Yet the funding to support such an ambitious conservation measure is largely lacking. The figures needed are large. But well-managed natural ecosystems in protected areas offer benefits that meet other global commitments, like the Sustainable Development Goals, Paris Agreement, UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and many more. Protected areas thus offer contributions across many different international commitments, substantially increasing their real value. The use of REDD+ to create forest-based carbon credits offers opportunities for investors to tackle a wide range of socio-economic and environmental challenges simultaneously and is one of the clearest examples of multiplying benefits. These options are far from perfect, but already have a proven track record of bringing sustainable finance into conservation areas that have few other alternatives. We look at the pros and cons and argue that conservation institutions need to be scaling up their ambitions and bring such thinking more into the mainstream.

Protecting and restoring habitats to benefit freshwater biodiversity

et al. 2024

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Freshwater biodiversity is under great threat across the globe as evidenced by more severe declines relative to other types of ecosystems. One of the main stressors responsible for these concerning trends is habitat fragmentation, degradation, and loss stemming from anthropogenic activities including energy production, urbanization, agriculture, and resource extraction. Habitat protection and restoration both play an integral role in efforts to save freshwater biodiversity and associated ecosystem services from further decline. In this paper, we summarize the sources of threats associated with habitat fragmentation, degradation, and loss, and then outline response options to protect and restore freshwater habitats. Specific response options are to: legislate the protection of healthy and productive freshwater ecosystems; prioritize habitats for protection and restoration; enact durable protections; conserve habitat in a coordinated and integrated manner; engage in evidence-based restoration using an adaptive management approach; ensure that potential freshwater habitat alterations are mitigated or off-set; and future-proof protection and restoration actions. Such work should be done through a lens that engages and involves local community members. We identify three broad categories of obstacles that arise during the implementation of the response options outlined: a) scientific (e.g., inaccessible data or uncertainties), b) institutional and management (e.g., capacity issues or differing goals across agencies), and c) social and political (e.g., prioritizing economic development over conservation initiatives). The protection and restoration of habitats is key to bending the curve for freshwater biodiversity, with a comprehensive, connected, and coordinated effort of response options needed to protect intact habitats and restore fragmented, degraded, and lost habitats and the biodiversity and ecosystem services that they support.
