In the weeks that followed, as COVID-19 spread across the United States, Snyder battled his malady and made notes on ours — a medical system of extreme inequality, designed to maximize profit, that makes everyone sicker. Front Ecol Environ 10:267–273. On the conservation of large mammals in sub-Saharan Africa. Conserv Lett 9:448–456. In sum, we bring these various elements together in an integrative conceptual framework for environmental stewardship (Fig. Buy From Local Farms or Start Your Own, Fort Vancouver National Historic SiteNPS / Troy Wayrynen. 2014; Medeiros et al. https://doi.org/10.1111/conl.12347, Díaz S, Demissew S, Carabias J et al. Mar Policy 34:742–751. 2014; Bennett and Dearden 2014). These stewardship supporting activities might include activities such as environmental education of resource users or youth (Stern et al. (2015) Institutional fit and the sustainability of social–ecological systems. IDS, University of Sussex, Sussex, Sen A (1984) Resources, Values, and Development. Various shipments to and from the E.U. 2017), network building activities (Alexander et al. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tree.2014.12.005, Gelcich S, Donlan CJ (2015) Incentivizing biodiversity conservation in artisanal fishing communities through territorial user rights and business model innovation. 2015; Sorice and Donlan 2015). One of the biggest wins is for offshore wind energy, for which tax credits are extended for five years. 2016). Front Ecol Environ 11:348–354. Stewardship can also take the form of passive management—leaving an area to regenerate—or simply choosing to not harvest from an area. 2016; Nyborg et al. Environmental Management 61, 597–614 (2018). Even small businesses can get great value from implementing environmental stewardship practices, many of which are implementable at little or no cost. To achieve this, we review and resituate insights from across the empirical and theoretical literatures on environmental stewardship, management and governance to understand and define the central factors that influence stewardship outcomes. President-elect Biden has shown that he understands this obligation by nominating people of rich depth and experience to his climate team, including Gina McCarthy, John Kerry, Michael Regan, Jennifer Granholm, Deborah Haaland, Pete Buttigieg, and Brenda Mallory.
The climate provisions in this bill are a strong step forward—but just a step. BioScience 62:354–366. Many cities offer fairly cheap composting services and will make the entire process hands-off for you. "The air we breathe, the water we depend on, the land we live upon, all pristine. What can I do? "
Robert Starbard, tribal administrator of the Hoonah Indian Association, declared: "The need for this litigation is a mark of shame upon the federal government for violating the trust and responsibilities it has to the Indigenous peoples of the Tongass. In the agriculture sector, community supported agriculture initiatives—which reward farmers for stewardship-oriented practices—have emerged over the last few decades (Fish et al. 2014; Turner et al. Despite the surge of electric and hybrid vehicles in 2017, fossil fuel transportation still accounts for 27 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. Electric cars are more affordable and accessible than ever before, but there are plenty of ways to get from point A to point B in 2018 that will spare your wallet and the environment. 2011; Leisher et al. areas territ. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2015.09.001, Allison EH, Ellis F (2001) The livelihoods approach and management of small-scale fisheries. Environ Manag 58:254–267. 1. We do not pre-suppose the types of actions that constitute stewardship—and encourage a view of stewardship that looks beyond western conceptualizations of conservation and is inclusive of indigenous world-views and approaches (Berkes 1999; Brosius and Russell 2003; Hunn et al. It is a way of living worth fighting for. By strengthening environmental stewardship, it is hoped that communities will be able to foster a virtuous circle of improved environmental management and social welfare. The term environmental stewardship has been used to refer to such diverse actions as creating protected areas, replanting trees, limiting harvests, reducing harmful activities or pollution, creating community gardens, restoring degraded areas, or purchasing more sustainable products. (2010) A review of design principles for community-based natural resource management. My bloodline is Indigenous to this land — its DNA is my DNA," said Kashudoha Wanda Loescher Culp, a Tlingit activist and Tongass coordinator for the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN).

(2016) Social norms as solutions. But the smart, liberal White people Rankine engages usually respond with denial or the lack of awareness bred of ingrained privilege. Second, stewardship actions can also be intrinsically motivated by the desire for autonomy, relatedness, and competence—which correspond with the three universal psychological needs of self-determination theory (Ryan and Deci 2000b; Cetas and Yasué 2017)—and the higher order need for self-actualization (Maslow 1943). https://doi.org/10.1071/PC16031, Jupiter SD, Cohen PJ, Weeks R et al. First, stewards can be extrinsically motivated by the perceived direct lost opportunity costs (e.g., time, money) and instrumental benefits of stewarding resources. Ambio 45:173–184. "
Heng Kiah Chun, a Greenpeace Malaysia campaigner, said at the time that "the illegal dumping of plastic waste from over 19 countries worldwide has left an indelible mark on Malaysia and other countries in Southeast Asia. These programs were established to assure compliance with federal, state, and local environmental regulations. Barratt and Allison (2014) highlight how vulnerability to environmental change can undermine community management of natural resources through a case study of Lake Victoria. In April 2017, the People's Climate March drew massive crowds of more than 200,000 people in Washington, DC. However, we urge cautious and mindful engagements as there are no panaceas. By clicking 'Got It' you're accepting these terms. The items are thrown away almost as fast as they are bought, and are filling up landfills at an alarming rate of 12.8 million tons of textiles annually in the U.S. alone—that's about 80 pounds of clothing per person per year, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The premise is that through promoting motivations and augmenting capacity these activities can indirectly encourage and enable the direct actions of actors to protect, restore or sustainably use the environment. https://doi.org/10.1080/08873630709478212, Armitage D, Berkes F, Doubleday N (2010) Adaptive co-management: collaboration, learning, and multi-level governance. ----- FOOD PRODUCTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP EXAMPLES OF How FOOD COMPANIES WORK WITH GROWERS Contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 1 1.1 Sources of Information 1- 1 1.2 Companies Contacted 1- 2 1.3 , Purpose of Report 1- 2 1.4 Support for Voluntary Approaches 1- 5 FINDINGS OF STUDY CHAPTER 2 2.1 Types of Stewardship Activities 2-1 2.2 Objectives of Stewardship … https://doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biu146, Plummer R, Crona B, Armitage DR et al.

Now, as COVID-19 cases surge across the country, some cities and towns have banned indoor dining while others have permitted it with restrictions. (2010) Ecosystem stewardship: sustainability strategies for a rapidly changing planet. U.S. Air Force / Senior Airman Chad Strohmeyer. A common language for the elements of stewardship is proposed to stimulate further engagement while helping to build a more robust body of academic research and theory on environmental stewardship. Rankine, a Black woman, attempts honest conversations with White friends and strangers who don't see what to her is the obvious reality of everyday White supremacy. Finally, the framework that we have provided here might serve as a guide for more systematic analysis to develop practical insights or targeted theoretical inquiries into the individual elements and their relation to overall environmental stewardship. Moreover, the mere presence of capacity and agency does not guarantee that actors will steward resources. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11852-015-0380-1, Silva JA, Mosimane A (2014) “How Could I Live Here and Not Be a Member?”: Economic Versus Social Drivers of Participation in Namibian Conservation Programs. https://doi.org/10.1037/0003-066X.55.1.68, Sayles JS, Baggio JA (2017) Social–ecological network analysis of scale mismatches in estuary watershed restoration. We Will Not Cancel Us shares those lessons to help us all break the cycles of harm — be they intentional or unintentional. Individual stewardship actions, for example, might include daily decisions made by individual resource users regarding maintenance or restoration of soil, the management of vegetation, removal of invasive species, the quantity of marine resources extracted, the type of extraction practice used and its related environmental impact, or where harvest occurs depending on sensitivity or vulnerability of habitat. Warning against "false solutions" like biodegradable plastic production, anti-pollution campaigners continue to push for banning single-use plastic products, creating "robust reuse systems," and pursuing a circular economy.
,The U.S. Forest Service's move to exempt the forest from the Roadless Rule, finalized just days before President Donald Trump lost reelection to President-elect Joe Biden, would open up more than nine million acres of the Tongass — with its centuries-old trees that provide crucial carbon sequestration — to logging and roadbuilding.

"The Tongass Forest is my home. At the meso-scale, stewardship might take the form of protected land-scapes or sea-scapes—for example, through the creation of biosphere reserves (Reed 2016) or marine conservation planning that includes social and ecological considerations (Ban et al. In the case of traditional resource harvesters, different motivations for stewardship are co-constituted with culture, customs, harvesting practices, and traditional knowledge, manifested in group norms and rules of engagement and emerge as linked use and management actions (Berkes 1999; Reo and Whyte 2011). Stewardship actions are the suite of approaches, activities, behaviors, and technologies that are applied to protect, restore or sustainably use the environment. By Laurie Archbald-Pannone, Kathleen C. Brown, Ryan Huerto, Sue Mattison and Thomas A. Russo. 2005), the creation and management of urban green spaces or community gardens (Krasny and Tidball 2012), or the strategic reduction of dependence on resource-based livelihoods to decrease harvests (McCay et al. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landurbplan.2013.12.011, Ayers AL, Kittinger JN (2014) Emergence of co-management governance for Hawai ‘i coral reef fisheries. Turns out his bloodstream was infected from a liver abscess that had been noted, but not treated, when his burst appendix was removed two weeks earlier at the same hospital. The latter example may instead benefit others who are further away. 2009; Krasny and Tidball 2012; ICCA 2013; Jupiter et al. is actually going further than the requirements of the Basel Convention. Rather she writes about "upper caste" and "lower caste" to describe Jim Crow hierarchy, where everything you could or couldn't do was based on what you looked like.
She compares India's treatment of its lower-caste citizens and Nazi Germany's treatment of Jews to America's treatment of African Americans. Take, for example, the classic “A Sand County Almanac” wherein Aldo Leopold argues eloquently for a “land ethic” (Leopold 1966) and similar volumes focused on the marine environment such as “The Sea Around Us” (Carson 1951) and “Values at Sea” (Dallmeyer 2003). (2015) From management to stewardship: viewing forests as complex adaptive systems in an uncertain world. In the context of local environmental stewardship, we suggest two subcategories of intrinsic motivations: (a) underlying ethics, morals, values and beliefs and (b) a need for self-determination or self-actualization. 2003), altruistic concerns for current or future generations (Bourdeau 2004; Robinson et al. (2012) Adaptive comanagement: a systematic review and analysis. 1). 2015; Ens et al. 2009; Rockström et al. Caste is the bones, race the skin." We suggest that there are two central factors that influence, positively or negatively, the capabilities of would-be stewards to take action: (1) local community assets and (2) broader governance factors. 3. In sustainability science, frameworks attempt to bring together the essential elements of a phenomena in order to facilitate descriptive, evaluative, diagnostic and prescriptive inquiries by diverse groups of interdisciplinary scholars on a topic of mutual interest (McGinnis and Ostrom 2012). It's been a hell of a year. 2015). Environ Sci Policy 66:250–259. The framework that we provide can aid in the systematic analysis of how contextual factors, intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, and the various elements of local capacity or institutions influence the stewardship choices of actors and their respective effectiveness. Conserv Lett 8:368–377. Times, Sunday Times (2014) 2014; Krasny et al. Broader scale stewardship actions might be taken at national, eco-regional scale, or even at transboundary or regional scales—for example, this is the case with the planning of the Yellowstone to Yukon protected area and wildlife planning initiative (McGregor 2003) or regional marine conservation efforts such as the Coral Triangle Initiative (Walton et al. (2014) Locally-managed marine areas: multiple objectives and diverse strategies. 1993; Tabernero and Hernández 2011; Asah et al. Ecol Soc 19:5, Bennett NJ, Govan H, Satterfield T (2015b) Ocean grabbing. Strategic interventions – government policies, NGO programs or market mechanisms—can be applied at different leverage points (*) to support or promote local environmental stewardship efforts. "
"Aside from the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, communities in Selangor and Kedah have another invisible enemy to face—chemical contaminants that remain in our environment with the possibility of entering our food chain," the campaigner added.
