Agenda
4-4:45 pm | Defining, implementing, and evaluating integrated landscape approaches
This presentation will reflect on over a decade of research into integrated landscape approaches (ILAs) to conservation and development, including theory, global reviews, and fieldwork in Ghana, Zambia, and Indonesia. It will examine the challenges of defining ILAs, their implementation and evaluation, and offer recommendations for improving their effectiveness.
Speaker: Dr. James Reed is an environmental social scientist in the Governance, Equity, and Wellbeing theme at the Center for International Forestry Research. He is interested in inter- and transdisciplinary research approaches that attempt to better understand the dynamics and potential synergies and trade-offs within tropical landscapes.
4:45-5:30 pm | Not all fire is one: clarifying the Amazon’s burning crisis
Fire is diverse, shaping people-nature relationships for millennia and supporting the resilience of rural communities. However, the widespread conflation of all fire as destructive has marginalized traditional fire users, increased flammability, and led to injustices. Recognizing fire diversity is essential for just and effective fire governance.
Speaker: Dr Rachel Carmenta is Tyndall Associate Professor in Climate Change and Global Development at the University of East Anglia. She is an environmental social scientist specialising in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of environment and development, environmental risk and the relationship between place and well-being.
