Nature-dependent people: Mapping human direct use of nature for basic needs across the tropics (2021)
Journal Article
Fedele, G., Donatti, C. I., Bornacelly, I., & Hole, D. G. (2021). Nature-dependent people: Mapping human direct use of nature for basic needs across the tropics. Global Environmental Change, 71, Article 102368. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2021.102368

Understanding where people depend the most on natural resources for their basic human needs is crucial for planning conservation and development interventions. For some people, nature is a direct source of food, clean water, and energy through subsis...

Limited use of transformative adaptation in response to social-ecological shifts driven by climate change (2020)
Journal Article
Fedele, G., Donatti, C. I., Harvey, C. A., Hannah, L., & Hole, D. G. (2020). Limited use of transformative adaptation in response to social-ecological shifts driven by climate change. Ecology and Society, 25(1), https://doi.org/10.5751/es-11381-250125

Climate change is increasingly driving fundamental shifts in ecosystems, land use, and human livelihoods. Because of these rapid shifts, some conventional adaptation strategies may have limited success in reducing the impact of climate change. In som...

Mapping global human dependence on marine ecosystems (2018)
Journal Article
Selig, E. R., Hole, D. G., Allison, E. H., Arkema, K. K., McKinnon, M. C., Chu, J., de Sherbinin, A., Fisher, B., Gallagher, L., Holland, M. B., Ingram, J. C., Rao, N. S., Russell, R. B., Srebotnjak, T., Teh, L. C., Troëng, S., Turner, W. R., & Zvoleff, A. (2019). Mapping global human dependence on marine ecosystems. Conservation Letters, 12(2), Article e12617. https://doi.org/10.1111/conl.12617

Many human populations are dependent on marine ecosystems for a range of benefits, but we understand little about where and to what degree people rely on these ecosystem services. We created a new conceptual model to map the degree of human dependenc... Read More about Mapping global human dependence on marine ecosystems.

Opportunities for biodiversity conservation as cities adapt to climate change (2018)
Journal Article
Butt, N., Shanahan, D. F., Shumway, N., Bekessy, S. A., Fuller, R. A., Watson, J. E., Maggini, R., & Hole, D. G. (2018). Opportunities for biodiversity conservation as cities adapt to climate change. Geo: Geography and Environment, 5(1), Article e00052. https://doi.org/10.1002/geo2.52

Cities are investing billions of dollars in climate change adaptation to combat the effects of sea‐level rise, temperature extremes, increasingly intense storm events, flooding and water scarcity. Natural ecosystems have enormous potential to contrib... Read More about Opportunities for biodiversity conservation as cities adapt to climate change.

Global Climate Change Adaptation Priorities for Biodiversity and Food Security (2013)
Journal Article
Hannah, L., Ikegami, M., Hole, D. G., Seo, C., Butchart, S. H., Peterson, A. T., & Roehrdanz, P. R. (2013). Global Climate Change Adaptation Priorities for Biodiversity and Food Security. PLoS ONE, 8(8), Article e72590. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0072590

International policy is placing increasing emphasis on adaptation to climate change, including the allocation of new funds to assist adaptation efforts. Climate change adaptation funding may be most effective where it meets integrated goals, but glob... Read More about Global Climate Change Adaptation Priorities for Biodiversity and Food Security.
