This study addresses that gap by designing and applying a pyramid framework that integrates the leverage point perspective with three resilience capacities: coping, adaptive, and transformative. The goal of the framework is to (1) shed light on root causes that shape resilience and (2) pinpoint effective entry points for strengthening resilience and driving transformation. Using qualitative methods, this study applied the framework to a food system in western Nepal, identifying eleven leverage points. Results showed that deep leverage points supported transformative capacity, while shallow ones reinforced coping and adaptive capacities. The pyramid framework balances immediate shock responses with long-term planning. This integrated approach mitigates trade-offs between resilience strategies, reducing maladaptation risks. The pyramid framework serves as a tool for ex-ante strategic adaptation planning and ex-post assessment and evaluation of resilience policy and interventions.","PeriodicalId":461,"journal":{"name":"Ambio","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144697298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Human-wildlife conflicts arise when piscivorous birds, such as cormorants and herons, depredate in fish farms. By surveillance cameras, we quantified the depredation pressure of birds at fish farms along the Finnish coast. The pressure varied considerably between farms, from no bird visits to daily losses of hundreds of fish. Grey herons were most numerous and depredated 2-5 times more fish than cormorants, which are commonly regarded bigger threats. Depredation rates decreased with the increasing fish size even though cormorants also took large fish. Piscivorous raptors seldom foraged in farms but were interested in larger fish. Proximity to bird breeding colonies did not affect the predation pressure. Protective nets were effective against raptors and cormorants, but grey herons used them as depredation platforms. Knowledge on factors explaining depredation rates is valuable for science-based planning of measures to mitigate the human-wildlife conflict.","PeriodicalId":461,"journal":{"name":"Ambio","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144697297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we conducted in-person interviews with local people to explore their knowledge, perceptions, and socioeconomic factors associated with orchid trade. Generalized linear mixed models revealed that economic status, education, employment, occupation, perception, and knowledge were important factors influencing involvement in orchid trade. People who recognized orchids and engaged in farming were more likely to be involved in orchid trade. Conversely, those with sufficient food, employment, higher education, and perception that orchids are economically insignificant, were less likely to participate in orchid trade. These findings have implications for developing frameworks to address illegal trade of orchid and other taxa, especially in countries with shared ecological contexts where distribution of highly traded species often overlaps. This research recommends incorporation of social factors into effective conservation strategies.","PeriodicalId":461,"journal":{"name":"Ambio","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144697286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Advances in science and technology have enhanced the potential for using insects as vectors for viruses and toxins in warfare, including both traditional methods and new innovations like genetic engineering. This review aims to: (i) explore the historical and contemporary roles of insects in biological warfare; (ii) examine the ethical, legal, and ecological challenges associated with this form of warfare; and (iii) outline historical uses of insects as weapons, from releasing disease-carrying mosquitoes to creating genetically modified insects. It highlights the complexities of legal and ethical frameworks governing entomological warfare and potential environmental impacts. While insects offer unique advantages as biological agents, their use in combat raises significant ethical and environmental concerns. Therefore, there is an urgent need for international cooperation and regulatory oversight to ensure responsible and ethical applications of entomological warfare technologies.","PeriodicalId":461,"journal":{"name":"Ambio","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144666759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Siting a deep-geological repository is a technical and societal challenge. In this study, we present a unique approach that entailed a 4 year collaboration between our research team and a Citizen's Working Group (CWG) on nuclear waste management in Germany. We explored whether and how knowledge could be effectively transferred among researchers and the CWG, as well as how mutual trust could be fostered and maintained. Seventeen ordinary citizens across Germany were selected via a multistep process, including an online survey and interviews. Their contributions provided valuable empirical insights and informed interdisciplinary research questions. We describe this new and challenging process with its multiple methods (surveys, workshops, observations, and interviews) and reflect on our experiences based on a rich set of empirical data. Finally, we discuss the potential for generalization and application of this approach to other topics.","PeriodicalId":461,"journal":{"name":"Ambio","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144648143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
