Engagement in biodiversity citizen science initiatives can confer health and wellbeing benefits to individuals communities. Yet, few are explicitly planned optimize as a potential co-benefit, leading missed opportunities for conservation human health. In this perspective, we use dose-response approach discuss the components that determine how engagement map onto foster benefits. We considered aspects related duration frequency of contact with nature, intensity interactions nature between highlight different across variety initiatives. To illustrate these aspects, sample 95 from seven English non-English-speaking countries show careful project design increase participants. conclude considerations on enhance initiatives, propose research avenues assess synergies trade-offs

Abstract Climate change is triggering a diverse set of adaptive responses from communities across environmental and socioeconomic contexts. In African rangelands, selling livestock critical for responding to changes in local conditions. As these decisions further affect community wellbeing, identifying where, when, how sales are expected respond particular climatic shifts important delineating the total impact climate accordingly. Scattered evidence suggests that wellbeing mediates use cattle response precipitation. However, this has not been quantified as generalizable trend regional scales or within between years.

Abstract Forest restoration can potentially contribute to multiple global sustainable development goals. Yet, little is known about the factors associated with local actors' choice engage in restoration, limiting of effective scaling strategies. Our study examines spatial socio‐ecological landowners' engagement forest documented by Atlantic Restoration Pact Brazil. We draw on Diffusion Innovations theory model associations between and explanatory variables among 222,000 private properties Forest. Properties highest cattle densities were 163.9% more likely be restored (95% CI: 131.1%–201.3%) than those lowest. Large had a 120.0% higher probability 90.9%–153.5%) medium ones. Compared reference levels, cover (in 2010) ambiguous, but greater loss (1990–2010) 9.0% less −12.5% −5.3%). water bodies 22.2% 8.9%–37.1%), while upland 46.6% 32.3%–57.8%), ruggedness 12.4%–30.9%). Longer travel times urban areas reduced likelihood 48.3% 39.7%–55.8%). road distance quantile 11.1% 0.1%–23.2%). High management levels 52.6% 15.5%–73.6%), densely populated increased it 53.8% 35.6%–74.4%). wealthier municipalities (54.7%, 95% CI 10.8%–116.4%). Landowners' decision‐making appears responsive legislative requirements (on minimum afforestation around waterbodies), underscoring their value for promoting restoration. Commercial landowners might have incentives restore or selectively targeted organisations, risking marginalisation smallholders poorer from agendas.
