1. 1. The Plight of the Pangolin: Key patterns enabling the illegal wildlife trade of pangolins in Namibia - A multi-perspective case study

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; Lunds universitet/LUMID International Master programme in applied International Development and Management

   Författare :Sophie Berstermann; Carina Martens; [2023]
   Nyckelord :pangolin; illegal wildlife trade; wildlife trafficking; conservation; Namibia; poaching; communities; power; political ecology; social-ecological system; Social Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : The pangolin is the most trafficked mammal on earth and is believed to be on the brink of extinction. However, in many affected countries including Namibia, research and conservation efforts do not match their endangered status. LÄS MER

3. 2. Interacting futures of the Swedish food system

   Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Stockholm Resilience Centre

   Författare :Hanna Carlsson; [2023]
   Nyckelord :scenarios; scenario modelling; fuzzy cognitive maps; food systems;

   Sammanfattning : Food systems are complex social-ecological systems. Currently, they are the source of large-scale health problems and environmental impacts, and there is widespread agreement that transformative change is needed. Scenarios are useful tools for directing such change, as they provide engaging future visions that work well with complex systems. LÄS MER

4. 3. Analyzing the impact of marine protected areas on coastal zones : A case-study of Addo Elephant National Park Marine Protected Area, South Africa

   Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknik

   Författare :Laura Elana Babette Obbink; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Marine Protected Areas; Sustainability; Coastal Zones; Biodiversity; Local Environmental Awareness; South Africa;

   Sammanfattning : The ocean is, with its extraordinary ability to regulate the climate and absorb carbon dioxide, a vital ecosystem for all life on the planet. Moreover, the ocean is highly important for coastal communities as a source of income and nutrition, and as a consequence of increasing dependence it is becoming more significant to mitigate the effects of these anthropogenic activities on the ocean and its resources.

5. 4. Pepita de oro: How AlVelAl is building a regional regenerative agriculture transformation through social innovations

   Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Stockholm Resilience Centre

   Författare :Elissa Dickson; [2023]
   Nyckelord :regenerative agriculture; Spain; sustainability transformation; social innovation; adaptive capacity; institutions; drylands;

   Sammanfattning : Regenerative Agriculture (RA) is increasingly promoted as a sustainable agri-food solution. Agronomic studies find that RA practices (e.g. cover crops, reduced tillage, crop rotation, and agroforestry) can regulate soil moisture, sequester atmospheric carbon, enhance biodiversity, and reduce the impacts of droughts and floods.

7. 5. Unearthing the social-ecological cascades of the fall armyworm invasion: A computer-assisted text analysis of digital news articles

   Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Stockholm Resilience Centre

   Författare :Kathryn Bjorklund; [2023]
   Nyckelord :emerging pests and pathogens; social-ecological cascades; fall armyworm; Spodoptera frugiperda; structural topic modeling;

   Sammanfattning : Understanding the complex nature of social-ecological cascades, or chain reactions of events that lead to widespread change in a system, is crucial for navigating the challenges they present. Emerging pests and pathogens, such as the fall armyworm, provide an opportunity to study these cascades in greater detail. LÄS MER
