Systematically synthesizing existing knowledge on ecological resettlements (ERs) is crucial for shaping future research and conservation strategies. We conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) using the Web of Science Scopus databases, analyzing 63 articles in domain ER. Most reviewed emphasize people’s welfare ERs but adopt traditional approaches, hindering identification specific gaps. This identifies focuses four cross-cutting themes: anthropocentric notions social equity, parks–people relationships, political ecology biodiversity conservation, connecting nature with people harmonious coexistence. Further, highlights key themes ER emphasizing ecology, human–nature relationships. It underscores need justice, recognition displaced communities’ rights, promotion participatory decision making. Conservation efforts should prioritize minimizing displacement respecting local focus co-management models. Case studies, particularly from India African countries, reveal impacts conservation-induced marginalized communities ecosystems. we identified 45 areas across 15 thematic dimensions gaps, which will inform making discipline. call long-term assessments resettlement to address consequences, bridging gap between scientists biologists balancing human welfare. Finally, discuss our findings propose directions policies coexistence humans non-human beings shared planet.
