“…Because Multiple‐Benefit Conservation starts with defining goals aimed at achieving multiple benefits simultaneously, there will naturally be challenges inherent in increasing project complexity (Rohde et al, 2019). For anyone who has worked on a conservation project, the challenges are familiar, but we believe employing a Multiple‐Benefit Conservation frame can more clearly define these challenges and improve opportunities to address them.…”

“…For example, the bond measure language of Proposition 84, which established $1 billion to implement regional water management plans, states that eligible plans shall “use an integrated, multi‐benefit approach to project selection and design,” and “projects that may be funded … must provide multiple benefits” (Proposition 84, Public Resources Code § 75026(a)). Finally, the term is beginning to find its way into conservation journals (e.g., Golet, Anderson, Luster, & Werner, 2009; Rohde, Reynolds, & Howard, 2019).…”

A new term, Multiple-Benefit Conservation, has emerged in the conservation community, but has not been defined. We define Multiple-Benefit Conservation as conservation efforts designed to simultaneously benefit local communities of people, enhance ecological function, and improve habitat quality for fish and wildlife. Its key features are setting ecological and societal goals at the outset and defining success as achieving these goals simultaneously. This is in contrast to efforts aimed at one goal that may also produce co-benefits; it is inclusive of ecosystem services but not limited by a focus solely on human benefit. Strengths of this approach include that it is constructive, inclusive of multiple worldviews, easily communicated, solutions-oriented, and compelling. Multiple-Benefit Conservation as we define and describe it here appears to provide a pathway useful for designing conservation efforts that are more likely to be inclusive, that will quantify trade-offs among goals, and can embrace pluralistic conservation leadership.

“…Tenders can have an important role in targeting ecological values on private land and rightly rewarding landholders for managing and conserving those values on their properties. They could also play a particularly important role in conserving temporary features that might be important for parts of the year (D’Aloia et al, 2019; Rohde et al, 2020). However, their role and efficiency in conserving natural values beyond the term of the agreement are still unclear.…”

Key questions for conservation tenders as a means for delivering biodiversity benefits on private land

Summary In 2021, as part of the Convention on Biological Diversity, the world’s nations will meet to determine biodiversity targets for this decade, including area‐based protection targets. Conservation tenders (a form of market‐based instrument) have been used in several countries for the protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystem services within a defined area, mostly on private land. Conservation tenders are promoted as delivering cost‐effective and targeted investment/outcomes in the context of limited funding for conservation. Despite the significant investment in the approach, the resultant biodiversity conservation outcomes from these tenders have received relatively little research attention. Key questions on the efficacy of conservation tenders for achieving biodiversity conservation outcomes are discussed, to inform policy makers, programme managers and researchers. Questions include the following: (i) What are the conservation objectives that conservation tenders seek to address that other mechanisms cannot?, (ii) What have been the biodiversity outcomes realised as they relate to ecosystem/habitat representation or ecosystem services?, (iii) How do policy makers plan to realise biodiversity values beyond the term of the agreement given no publicly stated strategy on securing long‐term outcomes?, (iv) Is reporting of activities and results sufficient to judge changed biodiversity condition or delivery of expected outcomes at the end of the agreement, and are there efforts/plans/aims to follow up on outcomes post the agreement term?, (v) What proportion of successful tenderers have a protective conservation covenant in place prior to signing a tender or as a result of signing a tender agreement?, (vi) What do we know about the intentions and capacity of landholders beyond the term of the agreement and what has been the fate of agreements (and conservation outcomes) if they have changed hands during the course of the agreement?, (vii) Is the confidential nature of bidding in many conservation tenders missing the opportunity for collective or collaborative conservation efforts that can sustain learning and enthusiasm post‐tender?, and (viii) Is the information on ecological values (ecosystem type, quality, landscape context etc) presented or made available in a way to landholders that maximises likely bidding to ensure a large pool and thus programme efficiency?

“…Global challenges are often localized and associated with anthropic pressure (Rohde et al, 2020) such as energy stress (e.g., oil production crisis), environmental problems (e.g., deforestation, lack of water and population growth) and climate change, which catastrophically threaten the world order (Homer-Dixon, 2006).…”

Socio-environmental success or failure of Extractive Reserves in the Amazon?

Brazilian public institutions have difficulties in building relationships of trust that truly promote sustainable development. This study proves that the Extractive Reserves (RESEX) socio-environmental crisis occurs due to the interdependent relationship that exists between environmental, economic, social groups and institutional organizations. The study concludes that the implementation of public policies regarding health, education, transportation, communication, technical assistance, energy, as well as the current revenues from the productive activities of extractivism, agriculture, and cattle ranching was ineffective, because the state did not cooperate with strategies to alleviate the conflict between conservation and development.
