Responsibility and authority at lower scales need to be matched with adequate support and oversight from higher levels. Our particular goal is a framework that advances governance in several ways. Authors explore swiddens, management of fallow lands, agroforestry, plant genetic diversity, flooding, island environments, shifting cultivation, and commodity crops with geographic focus on the Asia-Pacific region. This study used a Policy Delphi survey of ecologists to explore their perspectives on a number of current topics in ecology. Institutional and social learning is realized through ongoing monitoring and evaluation, communication, and reflection on the social and ecological performance of environmental governance (Armitage & Plummer, 2011). This thoughtful and forthright blog speaks to the removal of American Indians from their ancestral lands to call the land "wilderness."
Time requirements of actors are reasonable. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/23299460.2019.1676686 They discuss how tribes can be involved with federal agencies for the collaborative management of of public lands, using western and Indigenous knowledges. Examples in the article show how community-based resource management can create better management policies. August 25, 2020 https://www.archaeologysouthwest.org/2020/07/09/putting-the-people-back-into-wilderness/ The article discusses strategies for engagement and the reasons why local and indigenous inclusion in environmental management is key to climate change mitigation.

Key words: Aboriginal forestry, consultation, legal frameworks, Canada The report finds that Indigenous people are doing a better job and are cost-effective at managing forests than placing the forests into protected status.

The analysis of environmental governance focuses on the capacity, functioning, and/or performance of the institutional, structural, and procedural elements of governance (Figure 1). The present paper aims to analyze the role played by NGOs in highlighting the indigenous peoples’ issues related to the environment at the international level. Our framework builds on a rich history of governance scholarship to propose that environmental governance has four general aims or objectives – to be effective, to be equitable, to be responsive, and to be robust. https://www.jstor.org/stable/43442707?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents Key words: Indigenous Peoples, IUCN, NGOs, climate change, biodiversity Left Coast Press, Walnut Creek, CA This is a bold claim to make regarding a field that is as broad as it is deep. This article looks at ways in which Native American tribes use traditional practices and frameworks for natural resource management. Reconciling Ecological and Social Justice to Promote Biodiversity Conservation Helps to buffer against change in one location.
This document outlines the goals and desired metrics the Sierra Forest Legacy would like to see applied in the Sierra Nevada regarding prescribed and cultural fire. Key words: Corporate influence, logging, theory vs practice, Indonesia Environmental Affairs Minister Dr. Edna Molewa speaks about the new National Biodiversity Economy Strategy, which is about promoting partnerships between communities, industry and the public sector for the equitable sharing of benefits.
A summary of this review of the literature is in Table 1 with supporting references provided throughout the text, whereas a more succinct representation of the primary objectives and attributes as they relate to the elements of governance is in the framework in Figure 1.

Decision‐making and action taking centers in multiple places, across jurisdictions and at multiple scales interact and cohere towards a common goal. The Guardian Maximizes the productivity of management actions while minimizing the wasteful use of available resources. Our particular aim then is to garner from these diverse areas of theory to characterize key features of governance (i.e., objectives and attributes) that can be applied to the design, evaluation, and analysis of environmental governance. The Role of Indigenous Peoples in Biodiversity Conservation: The Natural but Often Forgotten Partners
More adaptable institutions to changing conditions. In sum, the novelty of this framework is in the merging of the diversity of governance frameworks and recommended features into a more comprehensive offering to guide: (1) design, (2) evaluation, and (3) analysis of environmental governance. A Case Study from the Forest-Savanna Agroecological Zone of Ghana By: Cory Rogers Indeed, interest in environmental governance has led to research at all scales from the local to the global and focused on issues such as resource scarcity and conflicts, allocation and access, and biodiversity conservation in forest, agricultural, freshwater, marine, and even atmospheric systems. Provides a forum for discussion, debate, negotiating and resolving trade‐offs.
In practice, social forestry hasn’t always led to ideal land management partnerships, and all too often use the traditional communities as scape goats.
Such a designation does not remove the on-the-ground legacy of occupation, use and stewardship.
The Human Element of Mangrove Management Spaces for reflection and deliberation are institutionalized. 2001 Problematically, across much the environmental governance literature, effectiveness at achieving ecological outcomes is often assumed or relegated to discussions of management. Shifting Cultivation and Environmental Change: Indigenous People, Agriculture and Forest Conservation, First edition Bringing environmental protection nearer to the people Environmental rights have grown more rapidly than any other human right.155 countries have binding legal obligations to respect, protect and fulfil the right to a healthy environment. Yet, there is still a relative paucity of comprehensive and practicable guidance that can be used to frame the evaluation, design, and analysis of systems of environmental governance.

Environmental Governance for All: Involving local and indigenous populations is key to effective environmental governance https://medium.com/@USAIDEnviro/the-human-element-of-mangrove-management-3b1794892e61 CSI & Sustainability News By: F. Stuart Chapin III, S. T. A. Pickett, Mary E. Power, Scott L. Collins, Jill S. Baron, David W. Inouye, & Monica G. Turner First, the ability of the governance system (structures, institutions, and processes) to achieve desired objectives – whether this is in a fishery, a marine protected area, a watershed, a forest, an agricultural landscape, or other system – is also determined by the complexity of the context and the problem being addressed (Bavinck, Chuenpagdee, Jentoft, Kooiman, 2013). Third, there has been increasing attention to analyzing the impact of different attributes and elements of governance on social and ecological outcomes to develop generalizable lessons aimed at improving conservation in a variety of contexts (Ban et al., 2017; Cinner et al., 2016; Mascia et al., 2017). Ensuring Equitable Distribution of Land in Ghana: Spirituality or Policy? Key words: Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, mangroves, shoreline ecosystem management, legal jurisdiction, management policies Coordination of the roles, functions, and mandates of different governments and organizations, perhaps through a coordinating body or comanagement unit, helps instead to establish systems of rules, ensure the adequacy of management actions, and resolve trade‐offs (Abe, Brown, Ajao, & Donkor, 2016; Wyborn, 2015a). https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jeffrey_Snodgrass/publication/274375601_Indigenous_Peoples_and_the_Collaborative_Stewardship_of_Nature_Knowledge_Binds_and_Institutional_Conflicts/links/55c5ee8608aebc967df51c22/Indigenous-Peoples-and-the-Collaborative-Stewardship-of-Nature-Knowledge-Binds-and-Institutional-Conflicts.pdf Stakeholder engagement in the governance of marine migratory species: barriers and building blocks.
Key words: Earth Stewardship Initiative, Ecological Society of America, interdisciplinary integration, practitioner engagement, sustainability Facilitates socially acceptable governance and perceptions of legitimacy. However, we emphasize that there are no panaceas and there will inevitably be a continual process of learning and regeneration for any particular system of environmental governance.

Robust environmental governance institutions are legitimate, connected, nested, and polycentric. Introduction: Theme Issue: Native American Land Management Practices in National Parks The framework that we provide here might be applied to better understand environmental governance in different social contexts, for diverse ecological issues and at a range of scales.
