Policy Gaps and Challenges to Originating High-Quality Blue-Carbon Projects in Asia-Pacific: A Systematic Evidence Synthesis Bolstered by Practitioner Consultations Open
The Asia-Pacific region contains almost half of the planet’s coastal carbon-sequestering (blue carbon) environments. These habitats (mangroves, salt marshes, seagrasses) are highly valuable for their biodiversity and climate change mitigat…
Addressing the Policy Gaps and Challenges to Originating High‐Quality Blue Carbon Projects in the Asia‐Pacific Region: A Systematic Evidence Synthesis Bolstered by Practitioner Consultation Open
The Asia-Pacific region contains almost half of the planet’s coastal carbon-sequestering (blue carbon) environments (mangroves, salt marshes, seagrasses). These habitats are highly valuable to sequester carbon and mitigate climate change, …

The biodiversity and climate crises require diverse solutions, yet peer reviewed literature is dominated by men from the Global North. The Nature Conservancy (TNC), as one of the world's largest conservation non‐profit organizations, provi…
Satellite tracking improves conservation outcomes for nesting hawksbill turtles in Solomon Islands Open
The remote tracking of endangered animals is often justified by the application of movement data to conservation problems, but examples of where scientific findings have rapidly informed conservation actions are relatively rare. In this st…
Conservation and natural resource management: where are all the women? Open
There is evidence from the development and humanitarian sectors that purposeful engagement of women can increase the impact of development. We conducted a literature review to examine whether this is also evident in conservation and natura…
Lessons From the Pacific Islands – Adapting to Climate Change by Supporting Social and Ecological Resilience Open
By necessity, Pacific Islands have become hubs of innovation, where climate strategies are piloted and refined to inform adaptation efforts globally. Pacific Island ecosystems are being degraded by pollution, overfishing, and unsustainable…
Raising the voices of Pacific Island women to inform climate adaptation policies Open
Policymakers and natural resource managers are increasingly recognizing the importance of broader geographic and gender participation in assessing climate vulnerability and developing effective adaptation policies. When such participation …
