Interfaces: construire une connectivité socio-écologique à travers les paysages de conservation et de production

Pourquoi assister à cette session?
Land-use changes around protected areas tend to reinforce the gulf between development and biodiversity conservation. With case studies, we show how an interdisciplinary analysis of landscape dynamics and stakeholders’ practices between protected areas and farmland can promote more systemic understanding and improved governance of these interfaces.
HideDescription
Managing landscapes at the interface between protected and farm land is becoming a key challenge for biodiversity conservation. In this context, the role of interface processes (human-nature interactions and cross-boundary interactions around protected areas) has become central to the conservation of biodiversity, nature’s contributions to people, and our quality of life. This session will focus on protected area/farm land interfaces in Brazil (Mato Grosso do Sul). Those complex and dynamic landscapes, where several stakeholders with relatively differentiated land use contribute to governance, cannot be managed within a single disciplinary or sectoral paradigm. There is a need for interdisciplinary monitoring and scenario-building tools to enable farmers, conservationists and public policies makers to build trust and see the opportunities to sustainably manage and use those multi-functional landscapes through improved social-ecological connectivity.
