528 | Thu, 20/10/2022 | Fernando Neda | IPBES Conceptual Framework Applied in Participatory Assessment on Nature, People and Sustainability at Mount Kilimanjaro | English (396) | Organized in the form of a participatory workshop with five different groups of stakeholders, researchers have applied the IPBES conceptual framework in assessment of local perspectives on nature, people and sustainability at Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. Researchers assembled information on the state of and trends in species diversity, Nature's Contributions to People (NCP), and on the main drivers of changes in species and habitats. Additionally, gathering perspectives on the needs and opportunities for the sustainable management and conservation of natural resources from the individual to the international level. According to the researchers, "the application of the IPBES framework enabled the comparability needed for developing narratives of stakeholder visions that can help identify new pathways towards sustainability and guide planning while retaining the context-based nuances that remain unresolved with non-participatory methods." Based on this experience, researchers concluded that "the IPBES framework can be effectively adopted for the mobilization of non-academic knowledge on the relationship between nature and people and that it represents a useful methodological tool to scale up the participatory assessments of local perspectives on social–ecological systems." |
