About the topic
One major challenge for biodiversity conservation is land use and its different forms and current transformations. this special issue calls for research at the intersection of land use, socio-demographic transformation, climate change, and biodiversity conservation. we look for how cross-sectoral and multi-level complexities are challenging biodiversity conservation on one side, but offer also an ideal setting in addressing fragmentation on the other. we are welcoming social scientific applications from different disciplines such as political science, policy studies, human geography or economics and are interested in social-ecological inter-linkages and multi-method approaches.

Abstract
Regulating land use and the biodiversity of a region requires lasting accords between those who make the decisions and those who are affected by the rules and regulations. In Africa, these accords depend on the effectiveness of the collective efforts of the representatives of the legal authorities and the civil society (the traditional leaders [...]

Abstract
The rights of nature have been widely discussed at a philosophical level for a long time, but examples of its practical application are quite rare. Ecuador is the first country to incorporate this concept into its constitutional foundation and put the theory into practice. However, implementing entirely justifiable rights of nature [...]

Abstract
Ecologically susceptible zones (ESZs) are endowed with the distinct bio, geo, climatic, hydrological, and ecological integrity that sustain natural resources to support the livelihood of dependent populations. However, globalization and consequent anthropogenic activities have led to the erosion of the natural resource base and [...]
