To optimize conservation and social outcomes it is important that initiatives appeal to participants of a wide range of sociodemographic backgrounds. However, this can be challenging when motivation and willingness to undertake activities are influenced by socioecological context. In New Zealand, where control of invasive mammalian predators is a predominant strategy for conservation, trapping of rodents and mustelids has become a popular form of backyard conservation. \r 2. To understand how the appeal of pest trapping compares with that of other conservation activities, we investigated relationships between sociodemographic characteristics of participants and willingness to undertake three different backyard conservation activities (trapping of pest mammals, monitoring of pest mammals and monitoring of native animals). We also examined barriers and motivations for participating in these activities. \r 3. Willingness to engage in pest trapping was generally higher than that of the other activities, and although willingness scores for all activities were related to respondents’ connection to nature, this relationship was weaker for pest trapping than for monitoring activities. Willingness was also positively related to nature dose for all three activities. Concern for the environment was the only significant motivator of participation for all three activities while social interaction, contributing to community and enhancing one's ego were positively related to willingness for the monitoring activities only. \r 4. The more general appeal of pest trapping may reflect its more tangible outcomes for conservation or the additional benefits it offers participants through removal of domestic pests. \r 5. Understanding why some activities appeal across a wide sociodemographic spectrum may allow improved project design that maximizes participant recruitment. By encouraging participation of a wide range of people, such activities could provide an opportunity for people to become more connected with nature. \r \r **KEYWORDS**\r \r behaviour change; biodiversity; nature relatedness; predator control; pro-conservation behaviours""" ; dct:issued "2024-03-06T03:27:56.256087"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:modified "2024-03-06T03:27:56.256087"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:title "PAPER: Backyard Conservation: Motivations/Barriers" ; dcat:accessURL . a dcat:Distribution ; dct:description """###Potential for cascading impacts of environmental change and policy on indigenous culture###\r \r **January 2022**\r \r **Yletyinen J, Tylianakis JM, Stone C, Lyver PO 2022.

For example, demographic models can help to understand how alternative wildlife management strategies affect population dynamics and harvest sustainability. We developed a demographic model to assist Ngāi Tahu, the southern-most Māori tribe in Aotearoa/New Zealand, in customary management of a culturally important population of Black Swans (kakī anau, *Cygnus atratus*). We used recent demographic data, including results of an experimental egg harvest study, to inform tangata tiaki (Ngāi Tahu environmental guardians) about how customary egg harvest and background pressure from sport hunting of swans aged ≥ 1 year differentially affect population growth. We also assessed how sport hunting of swans affects the sustainability of customary egg harvest. Estimated population growth (1.018 or presently growing 1.8% annually; 95% CI: 0.808–1.241) was most sensitive to changes in adult and subadult survival, followed by juvenile (first-year) survival, breeding propensity, and nest hatching success. Uncertainty in population growth was almost entirely attributable to uncertainty in swan survival rates after hatching. Sustainable population-level rates of egg harvest varied from none to more than half of all eggs, depending on small changes in adult and subadult survival. Population sensitivity to adult and subadult survival suggests that limiting and monitoring their mortality are crucial to population and egg harvest sustainability, whereas contemporary government-mandated species management, through Fish and Game New Zealand, allows adult and subadult mortality from sport hunting, with little record of offtake. Recognizing the rights and interests of Ngāi Tahu, and monitoring swan mortality more closely, could improve Ngāi Tahu abilities to practice customary harvest, enhance population and environmental monitoring, and, when appropriate, control swan numbers in a culturally appropriate and less wasteful way. The model we present could aid decision making and communication between Ngāi Tahu and New Zealand’s Crown government within a potential future co-management arrangement. Demographic models can be useful tools for supporting customary environmental management, but developing, maintaining, and implementing these tools requires support for adaptive policies and management arrangements that recognize IPLC rights to the environment and decision making.\r \r **KEYWORDS**\r \r adaptive management; biocultural conservation; equity; gamebird management; indigenous peoples; kaitiakitanga; mahinga kai; tikanga; waterfowl; wetlands\r """ ; dct:issued "2024-03-07T01:06:49.721078"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:modified "2024-03-07T01:06:49.721078"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:title "PAPER: Model to support customary management" ; dcat:accessURL . a dcat:Distribution ; dct:description """###Pathways to Ecosystem Regeneration###\r \r Our teams are aiming to quantify social-ecological linkages for use in managing, protecting and restoring land and water ecosystems.\r \r Many thousands of New Zealanders put in time and effort to reverse the decline in our biological heritage, but they often face challenges in connecting with one another and scaling up their effort.

This article examines the nature, role, and contribution of ecosystem restoration collectives in Aotearoa, based on a survey of 27 collectives in 2021. Collectives generally engage in governance activities like funding, administration, and advocacy, adding to the typically “hands on” work of community groups. Similarly, they improve ways of working by increasing connections and communication between groups, agencies, and the wider public. This study indicates that collectives contribute to scaling restoration by improving the efficiency and sustainability of community initiatives, increasing the spatial scale and social-ecological scope of restoration, and increasing the range of actors involved in restoration.\r \r **KEYWORDS**\r \r collaboration; collective action; community-led conservation; networks; restoration; scaling\r """ ; dct:issued "2024-06-24T04:57:39.957181"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:modified "2024-06-24T04:57:39.957181"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:title "PAPER: Working together to scale ecosystem restoration" ; dcat:accessURL . a dcat:Distribution ; dct:description """###Te Taiao Collectives###\r \r **January 2024**\r \r When you're investing in a restoration programme, you're investing not only in te taiao and benefits for nature, but you're also investing in people and the connections they make.\r \r This video explores why volunteer organisations come together to form collectives, and the impact that has on their mahi.

Globalization, government policies, capitalism, colonialism, and other rapid social-ecological changes threaten the relationships between Indigenous Peoples and local communities and their environments, thereby challenging the continuity and dynamism of Indigenous and Local Knowledge (ILK). In this article, we contribute to the “World Scientists' Warning to Humanity,” issued by the Alliance of World Scientists, by exploring opportunities for sustaining ILK systems on behalf of the future stewardship of our planet. Our warning raises the alarm about the pervasive and ubiquitous erosion of knowledge and practice and the social and ecological consequences of this erosion. While ILK systems can be adaptable and resilient, the foundations of these knowledge systems are compromised by ongoing suppression, misrepresentation, appropriation, assimilation, disconnection, and destruction of biocultural heritage. Three case studies illustrate these processes and how protecting ILK is central to biocultural conservation. We conclude with 15 recommendations that call for the recognition and support of Indigenous Peoples and local communities and their knowledge systems. Enacting these recommendations will entail a transformative and sustained shift in how ILK systems, their knowledge holders, and their multiple expressions in lands and waters are recognized, affirmed, and valued. We appeal for urgent action to support the efforts of Indigenous Peoples and local communities around the world to maintain their knowledge systems, languages, stewardship rights, ties to lands and waters, and the biocultural integrity of their territories—on which we all depend.\r \r **KEYWORDS**\r \r biocultural conservation;\r cultural diversity;\r decolonization;\r Indigenous sovereignty;\r revitalization;\r social-ecological systems""" ; dct:issued "2024-07-26T02:57:12.361416"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:modified "2024-07-26T02:57:12.361416"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:title "PAPER: Threats to Indigenous and Local Knowledge Systems" ; dcat:accessURL . a dcat:Distribution ; dct:description """###Roles of restoration collectives###\r \r **2024**\r \r A high-resolution version poster suitable for printing.

As the community sector has grown and evolved, innovations have emerged in not only the types of restoration undertaken, but how communities self-organise and work together. This study focused on one growing trend: the formation of collectives of volunteer groups, iwi, hapū, councils and others to restore nature at regional or landscape scales. We brought together representatives of 16 collectives from around Aotearoa to connect and share their experiences of collective approaches to restoration. In this webinar we summarise insights emerging from this shared learning network and share six key ways that collectives help to amplify community-led restoration in Aotearoa, as well as the potential benefits and challenges of working collectively. We will also highlight the role connectivity and shared learning can play in empowering community leaders, encouraging reflexivity in restoration and building a community of collective practice.\r \r **To read the report CLICK HERE: [Te Taiao Collectives - Communities joining forces for ecosystem restoration](https://data.bioheritage.nz/dataset/so6-pathways-to-ecosystem-regeneration/resource/be541faf-0369-437a-8b53-858dd668b6d8)**\r \r Short video that explores why volunteer organisations come together to form collectives, and the impact that has on their mahi: [CLICK HERE](https://youtu.be/msqxr-mP9BE?si=K1rb2URQxTqO5rJx)""" ; dct:issued "2024-07-02T22:43:09.763756"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:modified "2024-07-02T22:43:09.763756"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:title "WEBINAR: Sharing knowledge to empower collective approaches to restoration" ; dcat:accessURL . a dcat:Distribution ; dct:description """###Collective approaches to ecosystem regeneration in Aotearoa New Zealand###\r \r **November 2021**\r \r **McFarlane K, Wallace K, Shanahan D. 2021.

Some people consider trout potentially compatible with a ‘healthy’ ecosystem, while others consider them incompatible. Despite the existence of deep and legitimate reasons for differences in perspectives on trout, we found convergence among interviewees on three principles that could provide a foundation for future trout management: shared decision-making within a Treaty framework, management of the negative impacts of trout, and coordination across government agencies to set and achieve holistic fish management objectives.\r \r **KEYWORDS:**\r \r environmental values; freshwater management; freshwater fish; introduced species; environmental conflict\r """ ; dct:issued "2024-03-06T03:00:51.213976"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:modified "2024-03-06T03:00:51.213976"^^xsd:dateTime ; dct:title "PAPER: Understanding perspectives on trout " ; dcat:accessURL . a dcat:Distribution ; dct:description """###Te Taiao Collectives - Communities joining forces for ecosystem restoration###\r \r **June 2024**\r \r **Cretney, R. and K.
