Накратко на български

Справедливостта при управлението на защитените територии в бразилската Амазония се анализира чрез закони и интервюта с местни участници. Това помага да се разбере как да се балансира опазването на природата с социалните права на хората.

Balancing social equity and biodiversity outcomes in protected area management.

Both the Convention on Biological Diversity’s (CBD) Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2010-2020 and the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development recognize the important role of protected areas as a key strategy for biodiversity conservation and sustainable development in the targets they contain. It is then from these broader international agreements that flow national level commitments to more effective and equitable conservation through legislation and institutional plans and protocols. The widely accepted framework now in use to define equity in relation to conservation derives strongly from the literature and theory of environmental justice, highlighting three interrelated dimensions: distribution, procedure and recognition. In this project, we: 1) analysed how and to what extent different aspects of equity are explicitly or implicitly included in legislation and policies that define how protected areas are governed in Brazil; and 2) carried out semi-structured interviews with key informants in relation to four protected areas in the northern Brazilian Amazon to understand: (i) what equitable conservation look like to different actors, (ii) the extent to which current governance and management is equitable, and (iii) the possible pathways to a more equitable future.

Цел на проекта

We are in the midst of the earth’s sixth mass extinction and the search for effective conservation solutions has never been more pressing. In recent years the model for nature conservation has changed, deeply embedding safe-guarding livelihoods and maximising equity within the missions of most conservation organisations. Re-focusing conservation in this way is based on the assumption that more socially equitable conservation will be both more acceptable to stakeholders, thereby reducing the likelihood of conflict with conservationists, and ultimately more effective in protecting biodiversity. That is the key hypothesis which will be tested in this fellowship.To achieve this I will address three key research objectives: 1) To devise a metric of equity in protected area governance and assess under which conditions protected area governance can be considered most equitable; 2) To explore how variation in equity in protected area governance influences acceptability of the protected area; and 3) To uncover how variation in equity in protected area governance relates with good biodiversity outcomes. I will meet these objectives through: 1) the development of an index of equity based on up-to-date theory and using protected area management plans; 2) a review of conflicts around protected areas and how these relate to equity in the governance of protected areas; and 3) large-scale spatial analyses of protected area effectiveness and forest change in relation to equity. While working in leading European research groups and gaining excellent training in interdisciplinary theory and up-to-date analytical methods, I will: (1) improve knowledge of outcomes of protected area management using recently available data sets; (2) provide conservationists with guidance for the design of protected area management plans; and (3) help the implementation of European Directives by providing a framework to design and analyse effectiveness of conservation measures.
