Based on extensive ethnographic research Mayotte (Indian Ocean), this article presents a case study how environmentalism manifests in one of the world's richest biodiversity sites. It illustrates Mayotte, last and poorest French overseas department, is shaped by 'hyper-environmentalism' – where residents are forced to be 'hyper-aware', 'hyper-educated', 'hyper-committed' environmental issues. The paper discusses constructed Wazungu ("white people") as tropical 'otherness' describes process 'eco-infantilisation', Maorais people paternalistically portrayed 'children' who need taught 'see', 'read', protect their environment. Finally, it shows effort 'change mindsets' fails because doesn't integrate new scientific knowledge with local expertises, which often not recognised. aim provide insights into diverse manifestations post-colonial, tropical, insular, 'southern' territory like Mayotte.

As conservation initiatives expand in response to biodiversity loss, there remains limited understanding about what forms of governance and roles for different actors produce the best ecological outcomes. Indigenous peoples' local communities' (IPs' LCs') extend beyond participation more equitable based on relative control recognition their values institutions, but relationship with outcomes unclear. We review 648 empirical studies develop a typology IP LC and, subsample 170, analyze relationships reported The findings reveal that governance, equal partnership or primary IPs LCs, are associated significantly positive This carries important implications, including actions toward Global Biodiversity Framework targets, suggesting need elevate role LCs leaders while respecting rights customary institutions.

Abstract Terrestrial protected areas are essential for biodiversity conservation, yet it is not fully understood when and how different types of most effective in achieving specific conservation objectives. We assessed the impact reserves on tree cover loss gain through a case study Tasmania, Australia. considered varying protection levels (strict, where human activities restricted, multiple use) governance (public private). used counterfactual matching approach to compare between matched unprotected from 2004 2021. accounted forest policy changes, environmental covariates, pressures reduce placement bias. also characterized by size, governance, management, vegetation compared covariates inside outside define baseline conditions. Reserves established 2016 were overall 75.4% less likely have lost 16.0% more had with controls. Patterns varied level type. Multiple‐use as which restricted. Privately managed contributed growth, public helped avoid loss. This highlights reserves’ distinct contributions targets, private allowing growth restoration acting stable anchor points. Our results emphasize importance having diverse array enhance resilience reserve networks. advocate adaptive regional measures robust monitoring achieve global ecological targets.

Abstract Human–plant relations shed light on forms of reciprocity in Indigenous territorial stewardship. This article shows how Cofán, Siona and Siekopai (also Secoya or Airo Pai Peru) Peoples the western Amazon collect, cultivate use yoco ( Paullinia ) to promote communal conviviality, reclaim once‐threatened cultural practices advance new collective stewardship social‐ecological well‐being. Yoco is a caffeine‐rich liana closely intertwined with daily life spiritual many Amazonian Peoples, particularly within tri‐border region Colombia, Ecuador Peru. We centre storytelling as pedagogy methodology, something common relevant yoco, it consumed socially often while stories are shared. Through collaborative transdisciplinary research, we assess relationality fosters three ways. First, discuss histories, uses cultivation yoco. Second, consider divergent pathways that communities have had from loss recuperation human–plant across time. Third, show examples differentiated supports revitalization, defense initiatives evidenced by renewed efforts enhance intergenerational transmission local knowledge. not merely ecological management plant but represents dynamic interaction between identity, practice political resistance. As Siona, Cofán confront external pressures such deforestation, extractive industries socio‐political marginalization, relationships facilitate sustain face profound change.
