“…This is an additional area where the IPS could focus future work and provide leadership. Finally, such global processes must remain closely linked to the local level with unwavering commitment to collective leadership and collective action for bringing about a more sustainable future [65][66][67]. many partners, and thank them for their ongoing support for and collaboration with the IUCN IPS.…”

This article provides evidence and a rationale based on adaptive governance studies for why creating meaningful youth engagement should be understood in terms of intergenerational dialogue, collaboration, learning, and substantive decision-making in global environmental governance. We have centered our discussion on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), as the largest global conservation organization. Through an organizational ethnography approach, we have demonstrated how generational concerns within the IUCN have been framed in terms of participation, and then present the IUCN Intergenerational Partnership for Sustainability (IPS) as a case study of a grassroots movement that is focused on transforming the IUCN towards being a fully intergenerational global governance system for nature conservation. We have described the development of intergenerational thinking and action within the IUCN, and discussed intergenerational governance as being essential for addressing nature conservation challenges faced by local communities in times of increasing global uncertainty. We conclude by providing recommendations for enhancing intergenerational dialogue and building intergenerational governance structures within global conservation organizations.

“…En el enfoque de investigación conjunta llevado a cabo en COMBIOSERVE, se retomaron los principios de monitoreo colaborativo, en el que la motivación final para llevar a cabo el monitoreo participativo con comunidades fue incrementar las capacidades para tomar mejores decisiones de manejo, obteniendo información útil (Villaseñor et al, 2016). Esta motivación de monitoreo, a su vez, se alinea a la filosofía del co-manejo adaptativo en la que se incrementan las capacidades de las comunidades para enfrentar los cambios, promoviendo autorreflexiones sobre las prácticas de manejo que funcionan o no (Dougill et al, 2006;Cundill y Fabricius, 2010;Villaseñor et al, 2016).…”

“…En el caso de los esfuerzos de conservación de biodiversidad que llevan a cabo las comunidades locales -ya sea de manera voluntaria o por influencia externa, pero con su participación y para su beneficio-el monitoreo resulta esencial como detonador de información y aprendizaje sobre los sistemas socioecológicos que se quieren conservar (Western y Wright, 1994;Porter-Bolland et al, 2013;Villaseñor et al, 2016). Este aprendizaje fomenta el incremento en capacidades para la toma de decisiones oportunas, teniendo, en el mejor de los casos, dos efectos positivos: 1) el fortalecimiento de la conservación a largo plazo, y 2) la provisión de condiciones para una vida digna dentro y fuera de las áreas protegidas (Campbell y Vainio-Mattila, 2003).…”

“…(Caruso et al, 2016). Mas allá de una participación en la que los involucrados de las comunidades proveen o validen información o se involucren en procesos dirigidos por preguntas generadas desde fuera (Villaseñor et al, 2016), la investigación conjunta tiene el objetivo de desarrollar procesos que deriven de motivaciones surgidas de procesos reflexivos autóctonos (Heron y Reason, 1997).…”

En este estudio se explora la premisa de que una participación efectiva en conservación puede facilitarse cuando los miembros de las comunidades locales desarrollan capacidades para valorar sus acciones de manejo y ser capaces de evaluar diversas alternativas que promuevan la gestión y conservación de los recursos naturales. Para ello, presentamos información sobre la definición de temas de interés que participantes de dos comunidades en Calakmul, Campeche, acordaron para desarrollar actividades de investigación conjunta. Los temas que se generaron, a través de grupos focales y mapeo participativo, apuntaron a aspectos productivos, más que a aspectos directamente relacionados con la conservación, reflejando las necesidades y preocupaciones de los participantes. Se analizan los resultados de esta selección de temas como un diagnóstico que permite interpretar la realidad local según la perspectiva de sus habitantes e identificar aspectos clave implícitos en la conservación. Se hace énfasis en la importancia del trabajo en colaboración entre academia y sociedad civil para contribuir a incrementar capacidades locales que se requieren para la gestión del territorio en el mediano y largo plazo. De igual forma se analizan los retos que este marco de trabajo presenta.

“…The second challenge was to assess the quality of the data collected by non-experts. Data quality assessment is a fundamental question regarding data collected by citizen scientists 22 – 25 . Most of the existing citizen science monitoring programs refer to simple data like the presence of a species or a group of species 25 , 26 and the general consensus is that the citizen science data are useable and highly valued by decision makers and scientists 27 .…”

Quality of non-expert citizen science data collected for habitat type conservation status assessment in Natura 2000 protected areas

EU biodiversity conservation policy is based on the Habitats Directive (92/43/EC), which aims that habitat types and species of Community interest should reach ‘favourable conservation status’. To this end, Member States are obliged to perform periodic assessment of species and habitat conservation status through biodiversity monitoring, which, in almost all cases, was performed by experts implementing standardized field protocols. Here, we examine the quality of data collected in the field by non-experts (citizen scientists) for the conservation status assessment of habitat types, and specifically for the criteria ‘typical species’, ‘specific structures and functions’, and ‘pressures and threats’. This task is complicated and demands different types of field data. We visited two Natura 2000 sites and investigated four habitat types (two in each site) with non-experts and compared their data to the data collected by experts for accuracy, completeness and spatial arrangement. The majority of the non-expert data were accurate (i.e. non-experts recorded information they observed in the field), but they were incomplete (i.e. non-experts detected less information than the experts). Also, non-experts chose their sampling locations closer to the edge of the habitat, i.e. in more marginal conditions and thus in potentially more degraded conditions, than experts.
