Nature’s contributions to social determinants of mental health and the role of conservation by Pienkowski, T, Keane, A, Booth, H, Kinyanda, E, Fisher, JC, Lawrance, E, Oh, R, Milner-Gulland, EJ

“…Moreover, this evidence poorly represents the context-dependent experiences of billions living in the rural Global South. Here, we offer a framework illustrating how nature’s essential contributions to people underpin multiple social determinants of mental health. …”

Shark and ray research in India has low relevance to their conservation by Gupta, T, Karnad, D, Kottillil, S, Kottillil, S, Milner-Gulland, EJ

“…With global biodiversity currently facing unprecedented losses, it is critical that resources are allocated and used effectively to mitigate these threats, especially in resource-limited tropical countries of the global south. Chondrichthyans (sharks, rays and chimaeras) are particularly threatened by overexploitation, with India being amongst the top fishing nations for these species and a priority region for their conservation. …”

Using scenarios-based interviews to predict changes in wild meat hunting and consumption in response to different alternatives projects by Brittain, S, Kamogne Tagne, CT, Booker, F, Maddison, N, Mfone, S, Mouamfon, M, Ngomna, S, Roe, D, Wilson-Holt, O, Milner-Gulland, EJ

“…Wild meat alternatives projects addressing unsustainable hunting by providing alternative foods to wild meat are commonplace across many parts of the Global South. However, understanding their possible conservation and social outcomes prior to implementation is vital, to ensure that they are well designed, that scarce funds are correctly directed, and that the intended outcomes of the project are achievable. …”

Understanding neglected connections between nature, conservation, and mental health by Pienkowski, T

“…Moreover, most of this research has concentrated on urban Global North populations, potentially poorly representing the experiences of the three billion people in the rural Global South. In this thesis, I aim to provide evidence of overlooked connections between nature, its conservation, and mental health. …”
