TL;DR: A pan-African synthesis of community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) can be found in this article, where the degree to which CBNRM has met poverty alleviation, economic development and nature conservation objectives is discussed.

TL;DR: A structured literature review of 52 studies found that Q has been applied to 4 broad types of conservation goals: addressing conflict, devising management alternatives, understanding policy acceptability, and critically reflecting on the values that implicitly influence research and practice.

TL;DR: A growing literature argues for evidence-based conservation as discussed by the authors, which reflects a wider approach to policy-making and follows thinking in medicine, in which rigorous, objective analysis of evidence has contributed to widespread improvements in medical outcomes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors question whether the increasingly popular, radical idea of turning half the Earth into a network of protected areas is either feasible or just, and call instead for alternative radical action that is both effective and more equitable, focused directly on the main drivers of biodiversity loss by shifting the global economy from its current foundation in growth while simultaneously redressing inequality.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that increasing the value of forest resources through global carbon markets without attending to local governance and rights will create political incentives towards centralized governance, which could lead to greater forest loss and lower forest-related benefits for the poor.
