On a learning mission to São Tomé and Príncipe, we got serious about games to challenge worldviews and create opportunities for dialogue.

The recent call to halt biodiversity loss by protecting half the planet has been hotly contested because of the extent to which people might be excluded from these landscapes. The authors of this paper argue that it is clear that incorporating landscapes that implicitly work for indigenous people is vital to achieving any sustainable targets. They examine an attempt to balance the trade-offs between conservation and development in Enonkishu Conservancy in the Maasai Mara, using a working landscape approach

From conflict to collaboration through inclusive landscape governance: in this new paper, James Reed and fellow authors describe an engagement and visioning experience in Northern Ghana that holds lessons for ILM practitioners in so many other landscapes.

As a kid, did you ever play the "broken telephone" game? The one in which you whisper something to one person who whispers it to the next and so on until a very different story comes back to you?

Stakeholder identification and development of a common vision: on a learning mission to Papua New Guinea, our Central Component Coordinator highlights two of the six critical dimensions of Integrated Landscape Management.

We keep saying it; they’re showing it.

Can Integrated Landscape Management contribute to sustainable cattle ranching? And vice versa?

Conflicting interests can hinder trust-building, requiring an understanding of historical relationships to improve collaboration. Different challenges within MSFs call for specific leadership styles, including shared leadership for positive relationships and charismatic leadership for conflicts of interest or lack of trust.

On the island of Mauritius, home to some of the world's most diverse and ecologically important forests and ecosystems, the Ridge to Reef (R2R) project is restoring and increasing native forest cover. In early 2023, members of our Central Component visited on a learning mission.
