Assessing a nationwide policy reform toward community-based conservation of biological diversity and ecosystem services in the Alpine North
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-05)Many attempts have been made worldwide to implement community-based conservation to gain a more inclusive protection of biological diversity and ecosystem services. In a recent national reform, the management of protected areas was devolved from the Norwegian government to local conservation boards. The main goals were to reduce local resistance toward conservation and ameliorate threats to biodiversity. ... -
Assessing local acceptance of protected area management using public participation GIS (PPGIS)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-14)Protected area management can be highly contentious. Information about the acceptability of conservation actions can help environmental authorities design policies that are accepted locally, and identify potential areas of conflict between land users and conservation objectives. In this study, we implemented a spatially-explicit method for eliciting public preferences for land use and conservation ... -
Blue justice: A survey for eliciting perceptions of environmental justice among coastal planners’ and small-scale fishers in Northern-Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-13)Ocean-based economic development arising from an increasing interest in the ‘blue economy’ is placing ecosystems and small-scale fisheries under pressure. The dominant policy response for dealing with multiple uses is the allocation of coastal space through coastal zone planning (CZP). Recent studies have shown that the rush to develop the blue economy and regulate coastal activity can result in ... -
Global economic drivers in the development of different industrial hubs in the European Arctic
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2022-03)This project report discusses global drivers affecting the development of key industries in the European Arctic (EA). Aquaculture is important for littoral states in the North, forestry and mining for northern Scandinavia, and tourism throughout the northern regions in the EA, and all are affected by globalization. Globalization is not a homogeneous, uniform phenomenon, but consists of various global ... -
Impact of local empowerment on conservation practices in a highly developed country
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-05-17)Community-based conservation, where local decision makers are responsible for balancing conservation and development, is often preferred to exclusion- ary conservation that prioritizes use-limitation through strict regulation. Un- raveling the evidence for conservation impact of different governance regimes is challenging. Focusing on conservation practices before and after a reform can provide ... -
Local support for biodiversity conservation in community-based protected area governance
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2018-06-13)Worldwide there have been many attempts to implement community-based conservation to gain a more inclusive protection of biological diversity. Reducing human pressures on ecosystems is necessary for favorable ecological outcomes of protected areas, but conservation initiatives that rely on strict enforcement without local support are vulnerable to rule-violations, public protests and a reduced ... -
Sami knowledge and ecosystem-based adaptation strategies for managing pastures under threat from multiple land uses
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-13)<ol><li>Ecosystem‐based adaptation (EbA) relies upon the capacity of ecosystems to buffer communities against the adverse impacts of climate change. Maintaining ecosystems that deliver critical services to communities can also provide co‐benefits beyond adaptation, such as climate mitigation and protection of biological diversity and livelihoods. EbA has, to a limited extent, drawn upon indigenous ... -
Small hydropower, large obstacle? Exploring land use conflict, Indigenous opposition and acceptance in the Norwegian Arctic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-23)In this study, we explore Indigenous energy opposition to and acceptance of small hydropower development. In Sapmi ´ (i.e., the traditional homeland of the Indigenous S´ ami people), land development poses a major threat to the cultural and material needs of the S´ ami people through the loss of pastures essential to Sami ´ reindeer herding. In contrast to large-scale renewable energy projects ... -
Stakeholders’ perceptions of protected area management following a nationwide community-based conservation reform

In this study, we surveyed the perceptions of conservation among local stakeholders who participated in protected area (PA) management following a reform towards community-based conservation in Norway. We analyzed the link between perceptions of threats to conservation values, prioritized management actions and ... -
