“…Local "traditional population" in the Pantanal are composed by mixed indigenous groups and foreigners that still have strong roots with the area and undertake a sustainable livelihood, such as fishing, that are adapted to the ecological dynamics of the ecosystem (Chiaravalloti, 2019(Chiaravalloti, , 2017a(Chiaravalloti, , 2017bChiaravalloti et al, 2017). In spite of legal recognition, most communities in the Pantanal are still invisible to policy makers, or have been oppressed and displaced (Chiaravalloti, 2019). Scientific information indicate the existence of less than 10 local communities (Chiaravalloti et al, 2017;Junk, Nunes da Cunha, Da Silva, & Wantzen, 2011), but EcoA has recorded more than 50 settlements in the Pantanal and in the Upper Paraguay River Basin that may be characterized as traditional populations.…”

Building bridges between environmental and political agendas is essential nowadays in face of the increasing human pressure on natural environments, including wetlands. Wetlands provide critical ecosystem services for humanity and can generate a considerable direct or indirect income to the local communities. To meet many of the sustainable development goals, we need to move our trajectory from the current environmental destructive development to a wiser wetland use. The current article contain a proposed agenda for the Pantanal aiming the improvement of public policy for conservation in the Pantanal, one of the largest, most diverse, and continuous inland wetland in the world. We suggest and discuss a list of 11 essential interfaces between science, policy, and development in region linked to the proposed agenda. We believe that a functional science network can booster the collaborative capability to generate creative ideas and solutions to address the big challenges faced by the Pantanal wetland.

“…Extractive Reserves, National Forests, Estate Forests, and Sustainable Development Reserves were explicitly established as types of Conservation Units specifically aimed to protect and promote traditional populations 12 (D'Antona, Dagnino, & Freixo, 2016). The Decree 6.040/2007 recognized traditional populations' rights and sustainable practices and established a self-identification approach to identify them 13 (Chiaravalloti, 2019).…”

“…The rise of community‐based conservation (CBC) focused environmental and development efforts on the rights and interests of indigenous and local communities (Chiaravalloti, 2019), as well as improving forest conservation, collaboration, and conflict mitigation (Alvarez Barriga, 2015; Campos‐Silva, Hawes, Andrade, & Peres, 2018; Engen, Fauchald, & Hausner, 2019; Garnett et al, 2018; Souza, 2018). Despite efforts, however, communities in tropical forests continue to face deforestation and invasions by outsiders, which often result in conflicts and violence (Tauli‐Corpuz, 2018).…”

“…Despite efforts, however, communities in tropical forests continue to face deforestation and invasions by outsiders, which often result in conflicts and violence (Tauli‐Corpuz, 2018). Also, interventions may impose oppressive restrictions (Chiaravalloti, 2019) or provide inappropriate or insufficient incentives to communities (Bluwstein, 2017; Mugisha, 2002; Störmer, Weaver, Stuart‐Hill, Diggle, & Naidoo, 2019).…”

Multistakeholder forums (MSFs) are applied in territorial planning with the goal of bringing together diverse actors in decision‐making, allowing the participation and empowerment of indigenous and local communities, protecting their territories, and promoting community‐based conservation efforts. However, important questions remain. How are territorial planning MSFs shaped by context and power? Can they represent communities' diversity, respect their ancestral rights, and bring real change? This article explores how context and power affect the capacities and challenges of territorial planning MSFs to include, represent, empower, and benefit communities. Examining actors' perceptions, we comparatively analyze two cases, in two Brazilian states with contrasting contexts. We conclude that territorial planning MSFs are highly political spaces influenced by complexities in context, power relations, and communities' diversity. They may include, represent, and empower communities and help recognize and conserve their territories, but not necessarily. Especially in difficult settings, communities face more challenges than other actors to be represented and participate at MSFs, and territorial planning may empower or “invisibilize” communities. Other mechanisms (e.g., social action) can be key for communities instead of, or in synergy with, MSFs.

“…Sapelli has been used with local communities since 2014, who collect data about the use of natural resources and their management strategies. The data collected provided evidence that Indigenous practices are sustainable and, as a result, local people have been officially recognised as a traditional community giving them the (continued) Box 16.1 (continued) right to protect their livelihoods using their traditional practices (Chiaravalloti 2019).…”

Social innovation brings social change and aims to address societal challenges and social needs in a novel way. We therefore consider citizen science as both (1) social innovation in research and (2) an innovative way to develop and foster social innovation. In this chapter, we discuss how citizen science contributes to society’s goals and the development of social innovation, and we conceptualise citizen science as a process that creates social innovation. We argue that both citizen science and social innovation can be analysed using three dimensions – content, process, and empowerment (impact). Using these three dimensions as a framework for our analysis, we present five citizen science cases to demonstrate how citizen science leads to social innovation. As a result of our case study analysis, we identify the major challenges for citizen science in stimulating social innovation.
