The social dimensions of river restoration are not well understood especially in the context of large-scale restoration projects embedded in a complex social-ecological system. This study used in-depth interviews with diverse stakeholders to examine perceptions of restoration success on the Clark Fork River Superfund project in Western Montana. Trust emerged as critical to restoration success and was influenced by public engagement, and by spatial and temporal scale. At this large scale… Expand

Perceptions from non-governmental actors on forest and landscape restoration, challenges and strategies for successful implementation across Asia, Africa and Latin America.
TLDR
Perceptions of actors within non-governmental organizations engaged in FLR across countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America about what FLR is and their perceived challenges and strategies for implementation are gathered, showing that the principles of landscape scale, ecosystem conservation and enhancement, and multi stakeholder engagement are all considered by interviewees as core components of an FLR program.

Using Strategic Adaptive Management to Facilitate Implementation of Environmental Flow Programs in Complex Social-Ecological Systems
TLDR
The SAM approach did show that adaptive management can deal with the complexities of designing and implementing environmental flows within complex social-ecological systems, but can have limitations in the long-term when resources and expertize change. Expand

Collaboration and nested environmental governance: Scale dependency, scale framing, and cross-scale interactions in collaborative conservation.
TLDR
This paper examines the different capacities and capabilities of collaborative conservation from the local to regional to supra regional and draws on the underexplored concept of 'scale-dependent comparative advantage' to gain insight into what activities take place at which scale and what those activities contribute to nested governance and collaborative conservation.

Understanding Factors That Influence Stakeholder Trust of Natural Resource Science and Institutions
TLDR
Results indicate that participation in fisheries management is associated with increased trust across all aspects of fisheries management, and higher ratings of resource health by anglers are associated with higher levels of trust of state and regional institutions, but not federal institutions or scientific methods.
