The Delphi technique in ecology and biological conservation: applications and guidelines (2015, background): “In sharp contrast, the Delphi technique appears relatively little used in ecology (five documents) or conservation (22), even though itmay be well suited particularly for dealingwith biodiversity management issues that are equally complex and involve multiple stakeholders and trade-offs (Hirsch et a”
Rethinking ecosystem services to better address and navigate cultural values (2012, background): “When thoughtfully designed, constructed indices can greatly facilitate a manager's decisions by defining precisely the focus of attention and by permitting tradeoffs across different levels of value and, equally important, rendering those tradeoffs visible (McShane et al., 2011).”
A review on trade-off analysis of ecosystem services for sustainable land-use management (2016, background): “Different stakeholders derive wellbeing from a variety of ecosystem services based on their choices of development and management of particular services, which are strongly influenced by lots of factors, such as their beliefs, preferences and experiences over time (McShane et al., 2011).”
Food security and the Coral Triangle Initiative (2013, background): “Most critically, explicit acknowledgement of the trade-offs inherent in integrated conservation and development initiatives is needed in regional and national CTI policy to steer away from false and failed expectations [5,73].”
The importance of local forest benefits: Economic valuation of Non-Timber Forest Products in the Eastern Arc Mountains in Tanzania (2014, neutral): “The transaction costs and (upfront) investments of such schemes to people from lower income classes are relatively high compared to richer groups (Meshack et al., 2006).”
Bats in the Anthropogenic Matrix: Challenges and Opportunities for the Conservation of Chiroptera and Their Ecosystem Services in Agricultural Landscapes (2016, background): “2009), will increase the need for agricultural practices that meet both productivity and sustainability goals (Tilman et al. 2002; McShane et al. 2011; Tscharntke et al. 2012).”
Creating win-wins from trade-offs? Ecosystem services for human well-being: A meta-analysis of ecosystem service trade-offs and synergies in the real world (2014, background): “…(Lele et al., 2013; McShane et al., 2011) many studies are now starting to question the underlying assumptions behind winwins especially for the many situations on the ground that involve competing rather than complementary social, economic and ecological goals (McShane et al., 2011).”
Operationalizing the integrated landscape approach in practice (2015, background): “One of the pitfalls of past integrated approaches has been not being able to effectively achieve multifunctionality or win-win goals (Tallis et al. 2008, Sayer 2009, McShane et al. 2011).”
