“…Scenarios are recognized as powerful tools to examine how different pathways of future human development and policy choices could affect nature and nature's contributions to people (NCP; Ferrier et al., 2016; Harrison et al., 2018; Rosa et al., 2017). However, to date, most scenarios for global environmental assessments have explored impacts of society on nature, such as biodiversity loss, but have not explored the role of nature and related policies in driving development (Ferrier et al., 2016; Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, 2005; Pereira et al, 2010; Saito et al., 2019). Indeed, the variety of connections between people and nature, and how these vary across the world, have mostly been ignored in scenario processes, and the linkages between nature and nature's contributions to people have been underexplored (Cumming et al., 2005; Johnson et al., 2020; Rosa et al., 2017).…”

“…Baker & Durance (2018, p. 374) argue that the complex and interrelated trajectory of the social and the natural in landscapes is proof that "there are no simple relationships between human behaviour and landscape outcomes". Other recent studies tend to confirm that cultural landscapes, through slow processes of socio-ecological co-evolution and adaptation, have taken centuries to reach their current configurations (Cumming, 2011;Plieninger & Bieling, 2012;Rivera & Kapucu, 2015;Bürgi et al, 2017;Saito et al, 2019). Consequently, they have been altered by societies in a plurality of both positive and negative ways (Munárriz, 2011;Rescia et al, 2012;Cumming et al, 2013;Taylor, Clair & Mitchell, 2015).…”

We start this article by seeking analogies between the cultural landscape and socio-ecological system concepts. Whereas the former has played a pivotal role in geographical research since its introduction in the nineteenth century, the latter has only recently become popular in inter- and transdisciplinary science. The results of this theoretical and conceptual endeavour are used to build a distinctive analytical category: the ‘complex socio-ecological landscape’. We then apply this novel concept to the Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011. In doing so, we demonstrate that this landscape in fact exhibits complex adaptive behaviour. We end the article with an analysis of the Cañamomo-Lomaprieta indigenous reservation in the north of the Coffee Cultural Landscape. Participatory mechanisms of transdisciplinary knowledge production have stimulated the emergence of an ancestral governance system in Cañamomo-Lomaprieta, which has reduced the vulnerability of its socio-ecological systems to the effects of small-scale gold mining activities. This case provides important insights into how to stimulate transdisciplinarity in other complex socio-ecological landscapes in Latin America that bear the brunt of extractive activities. Resumen: ‘Paisaje socioecológico complejo’ en Latinoamérica: Conocimiento transdisciplinario para tratar la diversidad Comenzamos este artículo buscando analogías entre los conceptos de paisaje cultural y sistema socioecológico. Mientras que el primero ha desempeñado un papel fundamental en la investigación geográfica desde su introducción en el siglo XIX, el segundo se ha hecho popular solo recientemente en la ciencia inter y transdisciplinaria. Los resultados de este esfuerzo teórico y conceptual se utilizan para construir una categoría analítica distintiva: el ‘paisaje socioecológico complejo’. Luego aplicamos este novedoso concepto al Paisaje Cultural Cafetero de Colombia, declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO en 2011. Mostramos que este paisaje efectivamente exhibe un comportamiento adaptativo complejo. Finalizamos el artículo con un análisis del resguardo indígena Cañamomo-Lomaprieta en el norte de este paisaje. Mecanismos participativos de producción de conocimiento transdisciplinario han estimulado el surgimiento de un sistema de gobernanza ancestral en Cañamomo-Lomaprieta, lo que ha reducido la vulnerabilidad de sus sistemas socioecológicos ante los efectos de las actividades de minería aurífera a pequeña escala. Este caso permite comprender cómo se puede estimular la transdisciplinariedad en otros paisajes socioecológicos complejos en América Latina afectados por actividades extractivas.

Scientists have repeatedly argued that transformative, multiscale global scenarios are needed as tools in the quest to halt the decline of biodiversity and achieve sustainability goals. As a first step towards achieving this, the experts who participated in the scenarios and models expert group of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) entered into an iterative, participatory process that led to the development of the Nature Futures Framework (NFF). The NFF is a heuristic tool that captures diverse, positive relationships of humans with nature in the form of a triangle. It can be used both as a boundary object for continuously opening up more plural perspectives in the creation of desirable nature scenarios and as an actionable framework for developing consistent nature scenarios across multiple scales. Here, we describe the methods employed to develop the NFF and how this fits into a longer-term process to create transformative, multiscale scenarios for nature. We argue that the contribution of the NFF is two-fold: a) its ability to hold a plurality of perspectives on what is desirable, which enables the development of joint goals and visions and recognises the possible convergence and synergies of measures to achieve these and b), its multi-scale functionality for elaborating scenarios and models that can inform decision-making at relevant levels, making it applicable across specific places and perspectives on nature. If humanity is to achieve its goal of a more sustainable and prosperous future rooted in a flourishing nature, it is critical to open up a space for more plural perspectives of human-nature relationships. As the global community sets out to develop new goals for biodiversity, the NFF can be used as a navigation tool helping to make diverse, desirable futures are possible.
