Planning effective conservation landscapes for nature and people: an editorial overview
Our planet is in the midst of several interrelated global crises caused by humankind: biodiversity loss, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic. These crises, their impacts on nature and people, and our responses have profound implications for how we plan and manage our environment and the use of land available for conservation. Hence, it is time to review what has and hasn’t worked in planning, implementing, and financing functioning conservation landscapes that deliver both measurable conservation outcomes alongside critical goods and services for the local people that depend on them. Holistic, landscape-level planning approaches that involve all relevant rights holders and stakeholders, from the onset, are needed to design the multifunctional, self-sustaining conservation landscapes that we need to address the key planetary challenges of our time. This special issue reviews lessons learned from conservation practices that can help our collective actions as we navigate the challenges ahead and look to the opportunities that can benefit the land- and seascapes we rely on for economic, social and ecological reasons.
