Abstract
The intertwined, global issues of climate change, rapid biodiversity loss, and failure to eradicate poverty present a wicked problem; they need to be addressed jointly, because each has implications for communities on the ground, and one can fuel another.For decades, community-based conservation has tried to tackle these inter-related challenges with mixed success and, at times, counter-productive results, but has arisen as a promising and popular approach on global agendas.We undertook a horizon scan on community-based conservation and identified 15 topics that offer opportunities to yield positive change for people and the planet. The analysis also provides insights into pitfalls to avoid in achieving 2030 global policy targets.
Keywords
horizon scan; community led conservation; biodiversity; livelihoods; rights; threatened species
