Farmers play a pivotal role in addressing biodiversity loss whilst maintaining food production. To rethink conservation agricultural landscapes, it is crucial to understand their decisions regarding and its management on the farms. In this study, we conducted 48 semi-structured interviews across ten European countries 2021/22 explore how farmers' perceptions valuations relate management. Employing reflexive thematic analysis, identified recurring patterns of shared meanings. Our findings underscore profound influence practices: 1) Narrow targeted interventions were closely tied instrumental values biodiversity, whereas holistic strategies linked with recognising an inherent value nature. 2) Targeted approaches related interpretations as specific taxa functions, relying easily assessable emotionally connoted indicators. 3) Holistic aligned broader concept emphasis intricate functional relationships within ecosystems. 4) Actual implement measures significantly constrained by perceived dependencies, namely production pathways, social landscape conditions. These raise critical question about prioritisation ecocentric intrinsic versus anthropocentric strategies. We propose approach ethical pluralism, acknowledging that may provide practical solutions for certain challenges, while hold significance, particularly context complex or large-scale initiatives. Engaging dialogue accounts diverse will be essential shaping effective socially meaningful conservation.

This paper critically examines the current political context in which valuation studies of nature are undertaken. It challenges belief that somehow, more and technically better will drive societal change toward just sustainable futures. Instead, we argue proposed practices risk to continue overrepresent values those who hold power dominate space, perpetuate discrimination views nondominant stakeholders. In tackling this politically sensitive issue, define a typology valuations, making explicit roles discrimination. is done provide professionals other actors with simple framework determine if actions activities constructive, inclusive, resolve injustices enable systemic change, or rather entrench status quo aggravate existing injustices.

ABSTRACT Community perceptions influence wildlife‐related management and policy efforts. However, there remains limited research into population‐level social psychological aspects driving engagement with wildlife how this shapes support for broader approaches. Here we draw on Australian national data to develop a typology of community based cognitive, affective, behavioral factors, they shape policies. We identified seven groups reflecting different patterns wildlife, ranging from Champions Disengaged . Importantly, respondents who were members more engaged also likely exhibit polarized views toward strategies that involve culling or translocating wildlife. Our results suggest managers decision‐makers should not assume always translates conservation discuss approaches communications conflict diverse groups.

Abstract Transformative biodiversity conservation requires innovative approaches that expand knowledge production in complex social‐ecological systems, incorporating diverse perspectives to effectively address loss. Conservation efforts often involve working with incomplete data, uncertain conditions and unforeseen challenges, while also navigating the varied power dynamics, values interests of multiple actors. Beyond optimising existing practices, designing transformative actions generating innovative, action‐oriented solutions embrace value plurality integrate systems. However, ways foster change remain underexplored. By following a pragmatist approach, this article explores theoretical practical contributions sensemaking abductive reasoning processes fostering creative problem‐solving achieve more just outcomes. We start by elaborating meanings triggered surprises uncertainty explain their key role when moving from well‐structured problems addressing systemic issues conservation. then present logic (of ‘what may be’), form within processes, how it can be used complement inductive deductive critically explore plausible accounts problems.
