Reconciling fragmented and contested landscapes

《重新连接》侧重于生物多样性保护与当代景观和社会的其他方面的联系，特别是脱节的问题。碎片化、争议性和脱节可能是制度性、生态性和社会性的。这表现为栖息地网络、孤立的部门规划以及多元化的生活方式和价值观导致生态流动中断，导致保护、公平和生产目标之间的紧张关系，以及治理优先事项和土地利用做法的冲突。我们将与利益相关者合作，深入了解如何在四个案例地点管理机构、生态和社会边界。这些遗址位于法国、德国、南非和瑞典，每个遗址都跨越城市到农村的坡度，对保护区和周围景观进行不同类型的保护治理。将通过1)开发一套连贯的工具和程序，系统地确定和评估生态系统、社区价值和不同体制安排之间的相互联系；以及2)开发治理模式和做法，以浮出水面并管理紧张局势，并(重新)将人与生态系统连接起来，从而实现跨学科的“重新连接”方法。社会-生态系统和治理研究人员工作包(WP)1将评估生物多样性保护的社会-生态背景，并确定有效保护措施的综合治理备选方案。WP2中的保护生物学家和功能生态学家利用生物多样性和生态系统服务建模方面的技能来量化功能连接的多个维度。在WP3中，景观生态学家和地理学家探索自然的价值，并确定重新连接的协同效应和划分。在WP4中，机构分析和知识共同创造专家寻求评估协作和冲突管理的不同领域。在WP5中，可持续发展科学和跨学科审议方面的专家促进了对案例和WP结果的交叉审查。WP6的保护政策和传播专家将支持政策翻译，并通过相关传播平台，如Panorama和欧盟生物多样性知识中心，交流和传播成果。WPS将共同推动跨部门治理和公民参与，以实施2020年后全球生物多样性框架。我们通过为保护战略提供新的方法和跨地点的比较证据来增加价值，这些战略可以帮助同时结合或适应多种价值，以支持生物多样性保护、福祉和公平结果。

RECONNECT focuses on the connections and, in particular, the disconnect of biodiversity conservation from other aspects of contemporary landscapes and societies. Fragmentation, contestation, and disconnection can be institutional, ecological, and social. This manifests in interrupted ecological flows through habitat networks, siloed sectoral planning, and plural lifestyles and values - leading to tensions between conservation, equity, and production goals, and to clashing governance priorities and landuse practices. We will collaborate with stakeholders to generate in-depth knowledge about ways to manage institutional, ecological, and social boundaries in four case sites. The sites, located in France, Germany, South Africa, and Sweden each extend across urban to rural gradients with different types of conservation governance of protected areas and surrounding landscapes. The inter- and transdisciplinary ‘reconnection’ approach will be achieved by 1) developing a coherent set of tools and processes for systematically identifying and assessing the interconnections between ecosystems, community values, and diverse institutional arrangements; and 2) developing governance models and practices for surfacing and managing tensions and for (re-)connecting people and ecosystems. Social-ecological systems- and governance researchers in Work Package (WP)1 will assess the social-ecological context to biodiversity protection and identify integrated governance options for the delivery of effective conservation measures. Conservation biologists and functional ecologists in WP2 draw on skills in biodiversity and ecosystem service modelling to quantify multiple dimensions of functional connectivity. In WP3, landscape ecologists and geographers explore values of nature and identify synergies and divisions for reconnection. In WP4, institutional analysis and knowledge co-creation experts seek to assess different arenas for collaboration and conflict management. In WP5, experts in sustainability science and transdisciplinary deliberation facilitate cross examination of cases and WP outcomes. Conservation policy and communication specialists in WP6 will support the policy translation, and communicate and disseminate results through relevant communication platforms, such as PANORAMA and the EU Knowledge Centre for Biodiversity. Together, the WPs will feed cross-sectoral governance and citizen involvement into the implementation of the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework. We add value by providing novel methods and cross-site comparative evidence for conservation strategies that can help combine or accommodate multiple values in parallel, in support of biodiversity conservation, well-being, and equity outcomes.
