Critical environmental justice is an attractive avenue for integrating justice and wildlife crime prevention within the illegal wildlife trade. As coined by David Pellow, critical environmental justice delineates dynamics of inequality related to intersecting social categories, multi-scalarity, racial expendability, and state power. Within IWT, these pillars of critical environmental justice offer opportunities to contend with futures otherwise and to pursue IWT intervention with a grounded understanding of communities, wildlife, and each other. This article demystifies the critical EJ literature and analyzes IWT through a critical EJ lens. Grounding IWT prevention and study in a critical EJ approach can facilitate a more seamless, radical, and transformative integration of justice principles into IWT intervention.}, year = {2025}, eissn = {2673-611X} } @article{MTMT:35788822, title = {Traditional herders’ perception of job satisfaction and integration into society: Another obstacle to the survival of pastoralism?}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35788822}, author = {Pérez-Barbería, F.J. and Brewer, M.J. and Gordon, I.J.}, doi = {10.1007/s13280-024-02084-7}, journal-iso = {AMBIO}, journal = {AMBIO: A JOURNAL OF THE HUMAN ENVIRONMENT}, volume = {54}, unique-id = {35788822}, issn = {0044-7447}, year = {2025}, eissn = {1654-7209}, pages = {325-337} } @article{MTMT:35789298, title = {Who is local and what do they know?

Given their basis in practical and multi‐generational experience, Indigenous and local knowledges are highly relevant to managing human–wildlife interactions, especially species that are challenging to live with. Yet, these situated forms of knowledge remain overlooked and marginalised, especially ‘local knowledge’, as it is unclear what or whom is encompassed within the term. We explore local knowledge in the context of pastoral areas in Europe, where populations of large carnivores such as wolves are currently expanding. We ask: who is ‘local’, what constitutes ‘local knowledge’ and what can this knowledge contribute to carnivore management? We show that continuous exchanges between long‐settled residents, newcomers and transient people in pastoral areas mean that ‘localness’ cannot be approached as a dualist position. Similarly, local knowledge is dynamic and continuously evolving in the face of ongoing and emerging change, which makes efforts of categorisation and preservation complex. We argue that current approaches to incorporating local knowledge often fail to account for this complexity, producing unjust and ineffective policies and strategies. To advance understanding, we offer an approach that situates local knowledge and those who hold it on a spectrum of knowledge characteristics. We then describe the challenges of braiding knowledge that are particularly relevant for carnivore management, illustrated by examples from our own research and the broader literature. To tackle the challenges, we propose ‘spacing’ conservation planning by investing in networks of emplaced practitioners, tasked with coordinating the mobilisation and braiding of relevant knowledges and producing locally adapted strategies for coexistence. Policy implications . Pluralism in carnivore management goes beyond incorporating the technical know‐how of local communities. It requires a better recognition and braiding of different kinds of knowledge and skills, at all scales, to produce better outcomes for people and nature.}, year = {2025}, eissn = {2575-8314}, orcid-numbers = {Pettersson, Hanna/0000-0002-2347-5282; Lécuyer, Lou/0000-0002-3379-3639} } @article{MTMT:36139185, title = {A biocultural hypothesis of human-environment mediations and biodiversity increase}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/36139185}, author = {Rivera-Nunez, Tlacaelel and Ford, Anabel and Barrera-Bassols, Narciso and Casas, Alejandro and Fargher-Navarro, Lane and Nigh, Ronald}, doi = {10.1017/S0376892925000049}, journal-iso = {ENVIRON CONSERV}, journal = {ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION}, unique-id = {36139185}, issn = {0376-8929}, abstract = {The relationship between ecosystem disturbance and biodiversity levels has been a central focus of ecological research for the past half-century.

This Perspective article advocates for a broader biocultural framework to move from the notion of disturbance to an understanding of human-environment mediations. Our proposed biocultural hypothesis acknowledges that, in certain cultural contexts, interventions by Homo sapiens at different environmental scales - mainly at the landscape level - can generate peaks in beta and gamma biodiversity compared to reference ecosystems. We illustrate these human-environment mediations through studies conducted in the biocultural region of Mesoamerica and comparative research findings, particularly from the Amazon Basin and West and Central Africa. In our conclusions, we discuss the need to establish collaborative research programmes around the proposed biocultural hypothesis, addressing management and institutional actions that will strengthen the engagement of Indigenous people and rural local communities with their historical territories that we name 'Priority Biocultural Areas'.}, keywords = {PLANTS; EVOLUTION; DIVERSITY; Biodiversity; MANAGEMENT; history; Disturbances; FORESTS; Domestication; Biodiversity conservation; Intermediate disturbance hypothesis; Historical landscapes; biocultural theory}, year = {2025}, eissn = {1469-4387} } @inbook{MTMT:35810964, title = {ENDANGERED LANGUAGES AND ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION AMONG MINORITY COMMUNITIES IN EUROPE: AN ECOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35810964}, author = {Selvelli, G.}, booktitle = {Vulnerable and Endangered Languages in Europe}, unique-id = {35810964}, year = {2025}, pages = {83-112} } @article{MTMT:35477474, title = {Are agri-environmental schemes doing their job?

Our results show the importance of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) for reducing conflict and enabling co-existence. In areas where wolves were extinct and have been recently recolonized, loss of TEK has led to less of both tolerance to wolves and awareness of the benefits they provide. Conversely, in areas where wolf presence has been uninterrupted, maintaining the TEK associated with livestock management, such as use of mastiff dogs and shepherd's role, has favored the co-existence of extensive grazing systems with wolves. Our findings have important implications for the EU Common Agricultural Policy by highlighting the urgent need to integrate the close link between TEK and the co-existence of extensive grazing systems with large carnivores.

The European Union (EU), a global normative leader in environmental policies, wields substantial influence over both domestic and international environmental agendas. However, uncertainty surrounds the EU's stance on the human-nature relationship. This article addresses the question of how the human-nature relationship is present in EU environmental policy and how it evolved over time. It offers a two-fold contribution to existing literature. First, it constructs an analytical framework to gauge the alignment of EU policy with either a human-nature divide ontology or a human-nature relational ontology. Second, it makes an empirical contribution by employing the analytical framework through an analysis of all eight EU Environmental Action Programs and the Green Deal, encompassing the period 1973-2022. The article (1) nuances unidimensional evaluations of the human-nature divide as being present or absent, by demonstrating the need to unpack it into three dimensions: why nature is protected; how people position themselves vis-à-vis nature; and how nature is perceived (2) finds that while the divide may diminish in one dimension, it can persist or reappear in others; it is hence omnipresent, but manifests in different ways (3) offers insights into how various dimensions interact to shape different policy discourses, identified as four human-nature relationship profiles.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1073-0451}, pages = {806-830}, orcid-numbers = {Lamers, Louise/0000-0002-5519-5170} } @article{MTMT:35472795, title = {Benefits and challenges of reviewing across knowledge systems: ‘Gourmet omnivore’ pigs foraging in the wild}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35472795}, author = {Molnár, Zsolt and Demeter, László and Szabados, Klára and Kiš, Alen and Ajvazović, Milutin and Runjanin, Borislav and Mandušić, Vlada and Biró, Marianna and Öllerer, Kinga and Marinkov, Jelena and Ulicsni, Viktor and Babai, Dániel and Katona, Krisztián}, doi = {10.1002/pan3.10717}, journal-iso = {PEOPLE NAT}, journal = {PEOPLE AND NATURE}, volume = {6}, unique-id = {35472795}, abstract = {Evidence‐based conservation can benefit substantially from multiple knowledge sources and different knowledge systems. While traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and collaborative research are increasingly acknowledged, detailed cross‐knowledge system reviews are scarce and their methodology underdeveloped. We have two objectives: to prepare such a review and to discuss the benefits and challenges of such reviews. We review pig keeping in forests and marshes, a historically widespread but nowadays almost extinct practice in Europe, but one with high potential for organic farming, conservation and restoration. We focus on what, when and how free‐ranging pigs forage in the wild. We review five knowledge sources: living and archived TEK, pig and wild boar scientific literature, and the authors' observations of foraging. Unexpectedly, given the amount of available information, archived TEK differed considerably from living TEK of svinjars (Serbian: traditional pig keepers), and scientific knowledge on pig and boar foraging from TEK. Svinjars deeply understood the consumption and avoidance behaviour of pigs towards 98 and 56 plant taxa, and 42 and 17 animal taxa, respectively. Our review showed that pigs are gourmet omnivores , optimizing and switching between foraging on earthworms, acorns, grasses and corn. Discrepancies between knowledge sources were rare, for example on the consumption of woody roots, earthworms, mushrooms and snakes/lizards. Sources were also complementary, filling each other's knowledge gaps. Topics where the cross‐knowledge system review was most fruitful were acorn foraging, browsing, earthworm and mushroom consumption. Differences in the contributions of the knowledge sources to the enriched picture resulted from the diverging interests and methodologies of the knowledge generators. We identified and discussed both the benefits (different approaches of knowledge generation; expanded time scales; complementarity; novel cause–effect explanations; identification of knowledge gaps; and biases) and the challenges (how to identify relevant publications and knowledgeable TEK holders; how to collate knowledge and verify its reliability; and how to conduct a culturally respectful synthesis) of cross‐knowledge system reviewing.

The evolution of marine science has been subject to similar influences, and we (the authors) consider these factors to create, embed and reinforce knowledge hierarchies in ocean governance processes and associated research that set societal patterns of prioritisation and exclusion. Such knowledge hierarchies have constructed dominant Western-oriented knowledge systems as 'rational' and 'objective' approaches to environmental governance in contrast to non-Western knowledge systems and have led to a dominance of natural (normal) sciences over centralised biodiversity governance. The extraction and incorporation of traditional knowledge into the Western-oriented scientific canon through myriad historical and contemporary processes in ocean biodiversity governance often reproduce knowledge hierarchies, do not benefit knowledge holders and are often considered incomplete, inappropriate or absent. As we address current ocean biodiversity and conservation challenges, researchers must be aware of the history of knowledge extraction, impositions and assumptions within their fields. Researchers must also actively acknowledge and address these histories in their work to avoid marginalisation and support ethical, empathetic, and rigorous knowledge production that meets the needs of society. In this paper, through a development of the concept of knowledge hierarchies, we explore case studies of research diverse in geography and discipline ranging from action research in Namibia, the application of arts-based methodologies in legal proceedings to research focused at an international level, and the concept of ocean literacies, all of which are located under the umbrella of a project specifically targeting transformative ocean governance. It becomes evident that knowledge hierarchies are multi-layered, perpetuating, and often reproduced even when attempting to address hierarchies through such methods as the integration or 'bringing together' of diverse knowledge systems. Effective change will therefore require sensitive and multi-faceted approaches to knowledge hierarchies, including processes of embracing discomfort, which will be important to work with, as well as through. While there will be continued tensions between hierarchies, it is a sine qua non that researchers need to build a commitment to understanding where powers lie, rather than ignoring such imbalances or, similarly, by idealising approaches.}, keywords = {ECOLOGY; DIVERSITY; SCIENCE; integration; CONSERVATION; SCALE; Politics; PERSPECTIVE; Biodiversity governance; Environmental Sciences; Indigenous Knowledge; Indigenous Knowledge; Transdisciplinary science; knowledge hierarchies: marine governance; ocean biodiversity}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2296-7745}, orcid-numbers = {Niner, Holly J./0000-0002-9567-9225; Strand, Mia/0000-0002-8642-1572; Erinosho, Bolanle/0000-0002-0734-2383} } @article{MTMT:34717218, title = {Biodiversity conservation indicators and conflict management: Application of environmental expert-based approach in Romania}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34717218}, author = {Petrescu-Mag, Ruxandra Malina and Petrescu, Dacinia Crina and Azadi, Hossein}, doi = {10.1016/j.jclepro.2024.140908}, journal-iso = {J CLEAN PROD}, journal = {JOURNAL OF CLEANER PRODUCTION}, volume = {442}, unique-id = {34717218}, issn = {0959-6526}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1879-1786}, orcid-numbers = {Azadi, Hossein/0000-0002-5108-1993} } @article{MTMT:35846898, title = {Peran Hukum Adat dalam Penyelesaian Sengketa Agraria di Indonesia: Kajian Empiris dengan Metode Komparatif}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35846898}, author = {Pratiwi, Berliant and Soeparan, Poppy Fitrijanti and Wibisono, Widodo}, doi = {10.51903/hakim.v2i4.2187}, journal-iso = {Hakim}, journal = {Hakim: Jurnal Ilmu Hukum dan Sosial}, volume = {2}, unique-id = {35846898}, issn = {2987-6737}, abstract = {Agrarian disputes are a crucial issue in Indonesia, particularly in areas that serve as the centers of indigenous communities, where conflicts often arise between customary law and formal law.
