Through structured questionnaire surveys and focus group discussions, this study explored the context and factors influencing the adoption of agroforestry practices on farmlands and public lands in the Terai region of southern Nepal. Results from logistic regression models revealed that adoption of agroforestry practices on both farmland and public land could contribute to mitigating conflicts between northern and southern communities. In addition, the adoption of agroforestry practices can be explained by socio-demographic and economic factors such as education, ethnicity, well-being, and gender. Strong cooperation between agroforestry initiatives and local institutions such as forest user groups and local governments in educating and empowering local people from lower socio-economic backgrounds is critical for widespread adoption of agroforestry practices in similar resource-use conflict regions.Keywords: Community forestrylanduse and managementconflict managementnorthern and southern communities Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by authors.Additional informationFundingThis research was funded by The Rufford Foundation, UK, Grant no: 26820-B.","PeriodicalId":48223,"journal":{"name":"Society & Natural Resources","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135732336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our objective was to evaluate landscape-level spatial relationships among human-timber rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus) encounters, attitudes toward timber rattlesnakes, and exurban residential context. Encounters and attitudes data were collected using a mail survey and encounter reports (n = 583). Residential context variables focused on land cover and parcel characteristics. Encounters and similar attitudes toward timber rattlesnakes were spatially clustered on the landscape, and residential context attributes influenced both. Some overlap existed between favorable attitudes related to coexistence with timber rattlesnakes and relatively low concern about the species, whereas encounter-similar attitude clusters were distinct with less overlap. An outreach approach with prescribed messaging strategies based on the localized frequency of encounters, relative attitudes, and land cover may facilitate ability to address resident concerns in an individualized way.Keywords: attitudescrotalus horridusexurbanherptileshuman-wildlife conflicttimber rattlesnakes Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingC.

We analyze how municipalities in Massachusetts make decisions about the management of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Combining statistical analyses of a survey of municipal officials, qualitative analysis of management documents, and semi-structured interviews, we investigate (i) the socio-environmental conditions linked to municipal concerns about deer, (ii) the concerns that prompt municipalities to explore deer management actions, and (iii) why some municipalities take management action while others do not. We find that landscape features, Lyme disease incidence, and an array of concerns about deer prompt municipal governments to explore options for deer management. We show that management champions and small-scale politics are crucial in translating concern to management action. Our study illustrates the complexity of wildlife decision-making in sub/urban environments where the movement of wild animals intersects with patterns of development and politics.","PeriodicalId":48223,"journal":{"name":"Society & Natural Resources","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136142132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The coastal community of Ketchikan, Alaska, while remote, contends with overtourism and economic dependence on the multinational conglomerate mass cruise industry. Travel restrictions during the COVID-19 lockdown temporarily removed ‘the company’ from the company town identity of Ketchikan. This provided unique research insights into social-ecological impacts and bioregional resilience. Residents of Ketchikan’s greater bioregion provided empirical insights into the industrialization of identity and perceived biocultural impacts through qualitative, semi-structured interviews. This research extends place identity by applying critical ecofeminist-posthumanistic epistemologies that analyze the structural power components of biocultural identities. The findings offer a critical biocultural identity framework comprising nine indicators that serve to substantiate emotions, affect, and sensoryscapes as subjugated knowledges while critiquing the capitalistic colonization of materialisms and the psyche. Future interventions incorporating this framework may inform social science strategies for the conservation of biocultural identity.Keywords: Biocultural identitybioregionconservationecofeminismposthumanismtourism AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank the community of Ketchikan, Alaska for sharing their perspectives with the research team.

The case we are presenting here stands for a complex transnational struggle for environmental justice involving the indigenous Sedelur Sikep community and a subsidiary of the German HeidelbergCement AG linking the Javanese lime stone landscapes of the Kendeng mountains with nodes of decision-making in Jakarta and Germany. The Kendeng mountains on the island of Java are important sites of social and cultural reproduction for the Sedelur Sikep, providing important ecosystem services. The community rejects the market economy and in particular the trading of products they have not produced themselves. Their practices have contributed to the conservation of this biodiversity rich landscapes for centuries. The plans of the HeidelbergCement AG to construct a cement factory raises concerns among the Sedelur Sikep. The group worries that the factory and the stone pit mine alter the hydrological cycle affecting their wet-rice fields and ultimately their lifestyles. Despite protests by Sedelur Sikep and allied conservation and human-rights organizations, the subsidiary of Heidelberg Cement AG hold son to its plans, referring to a completed environmental impact assessment and related permits.Building on the concepts of environmental justice and epistemic justice, we investigate how the Sedelur Sikep, together with conservation and human-rights organizations have (so far) successfully prevented the construction of the cement factory by challenging the procedural aspects of the permit process, stressing their role as indigenous communities and by challenging dominant forms of knowledge production used in environmental impact assessments. We show how successful resistance is organized employing the mainstream nature conservation narrative. We also show that the employment of different knowledge system is part of a strategy, while the groups own understanding of respecting and living with the mountain goes beyond this mainstream narrative.Keywords: environmental justiceepistemologiesindigenous ontologiescement productionIndonesia Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":48223,"journal":{"name":"Society & Natural Resources","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135758792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Challenges to management are further complicated in exurban landscapes, where roadside forests are interspersed among fragmented land ownership entities with diverse management objectives. Our objective was to evaluate forest management community information sharing about biophysical stressors affecting roadside vegetation for multiple forestland tract types in Connecticut. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews (n = 39). Results from social network analysis illustrated network structure and interrelationship patterns among community members. Overall network cohesion was low. Core network positions were dominated by few stakeholders. Communication occurred among subgroups comprised of individuals representing several different stakeholder occupation groups. Low cohesion may be inherent of the fragmented exurban landscape with relations focused on shared objectives. Community longevity may depend upon maintaining core-position connections and a less-centralized network composed of individuals from various occupations.Keywords: Exurban forestsforest managementforest stressorsroadside forestsocial network analysissocial networks AcknowledgementsThe authors thank E.

Additionally, through logistic regression, it identifies factors that influence the perception of climate risk. The results indicate that the perception and relevance of stressors vary among different stakeholders, as well as among farmers of different genders and ages. Non-climatic stressors are more relevant to farmers’ livelihoods than climatic ones, although their interaction can exacerbate the impacts. Non-climate stressors identified in the past in the region continue to exacerbate communities’ vulnerability. The lack of technical assistance is the most serious stressor. The lack of land and the delayed rains are the most severe stressors. Farmers’ knowledge of climate change did not influence their perception of climate risks. Public climate adaptation policies should consider the local context, as well as the gender and age distributions of the public involved.Keywords: AdaptationBrazilclimate changeclimatic and non-climatic risksEnvironmental Hazards-Risks and Healthfood securitygenderglobal climate changelivelihoodsMaranhãoperception of naturerural and agricultural developmentslash-and-burnsocial indicators AcknowledgementsThank the farmers of the Quilombola communities in Alcântara.

Lion conflict with pastoralists has been reported in different parts of Tanzania, yet the impacts of pastoralist resettlement on lion conservation have not been well documented in Tanzania. We explore how resettlement experienced by pastoralists has affected pastoralist-lion relations and conservation efforts in the Ruaha landscape. We learned that despite efforts by the Ruaha Carnivore Project to provide pastoralist benefits, ongoing lion conflicts and lion killing was reported. We also learned that pastoralists experience conflict with crop farmers over resource access and use (i.e., pasture, water), biased treatment from government officials, and lack of meaningful participation in decision-making processes. We discuss how resettlement to a landscape known for lion conservation has affected conflict and conservation outcomes, and offer suggestions for future effective and equitable action.Keywords: African lionconflictconservationpastoralistresettlementruahasocio-culturalTanzania NoteIf a lion is reported to the RCP Lion Defenders, who are often the first contact by pastoralists in lion conflict situations, the Lion Defenders will relay the message to RCP headquarters who then may sometimes drive to the area to chase the lion away after informing District Office or TANAPA office. In some instances, i.e., if it is difficult to chase (i.e., haze) the lion away, then RCP informs government officials to assist, and in most cases, they will then try to scare off the lion. If the lion is injured, the animal will be darted and wounds will be treated, and it will be taken back to the park if necessary. If a human is killed then the lion will likely be killed by rangers. If the lion is killed by community people, RCP will record the data and carry out its independent investigation, and the government officials will carry out their own investigation. However, data sharing between RCP and government officials is uncertain.AcknowledgementsThe authors thank the Rufford Small Grant Foundation for funding this project.
