We argue it is critical to understand the social worlds and institutions that conservation practitioners are embedded in to grasp the networked dimensions that shape conservation in different parts of the world.

We all know that social networks matter in conservation. But just how important are they for shaping transnational practices of conservation NGOs? Well, surprisingly so, as we show in a new article.

Available now ahead of print: Patterning Conservation Flows: How Formal and Informal Networks Shape Transnational Conservation Practice by Joel Persson (@joel_perss), Siyu Qin (@SiyuQ) and Julie G Zaehringer (@julie_gwen) #consocsci#openaccess | https://t.co/PK0hk1AFYR
Whether to plug into informational flows, which allows an organisation to respond to unforeseen events, or to quickly mobilise an existing network in response to a funding opportunity, such social networks, scaled up, contribute to an uneven geography of conservation.

Do you know of evidence of pre-emptive forest clearing under env. policy introduction? E.g. deforestation increases before implementation of regulation restricting forest use, as forest stakeholders rush to secure resources before it’s not possible once the policy is in place🌴⁉️

Implications:
-Even for HHs w/ diversified LHs, NTFP income & rice self-sufficiency is key
-Because of diffs in market development, HHs have highly diverse capacities to adapt&diversify
-Tailoring conservation interventions to village conditions & LHs is crucial

People in protected areas are increasingly expected to⚖️livelihoods (LHs) and🌲🐯conservation, while interventions often result in uneven distribution of costs & benefits. We study how households (HHs) in a park in Laos navigate associated LH dilemmas

Strong spatial distribution of LHs
e.g. villages A & B have v. diff LH conditions & conservation exp. B established earlier➡️claim paddy land➡️invest in livestock; A came after➡️other LH options
LHs depend on market linkages, histories, geographical conditions
