1. Effective conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes
Sammanfattning : Agricultural land use is a major driver of biodiversity losses and changes in ecosystem services. Thus, for the sake of both humans and wild organism per se, effective strategies that enable both agricultural production and conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services are urgently needed.

2. Towards inclusion of Biodiversity in Life Cycle Assessment
Sammanfattning : Biodiversity- crucial for ecosystem health and its products and services – is being lost at an alarming rate. While it is clear that human consumption is the main driving force of the considerable losses, conversion of natural habitats for production is continuing and the subsequent intensification of those systems is likely to cause even further biodiversity decay.

3. A window into forest landscapes : Studying the relationship between forests, ownership, ecosystem services, and biodiversity in landscapes
Sammanfattning : Production forests are faced with the challenge of adapting to environmental change and simultaneously helping mitigate it and host rich biodiversity. This leads to new conflicts and trade-offs for forest management. Many management options have been proposed to achieve these goals while minimizing the loss of timber production. LÄS MER
4. Spatial Strategies for Biodiversity Conservation
Sammanfattning : Biodiversity is being lost under alarming rates due to an unsustainable socio-economic trajectory causing global change. Such loss is unequally spread over the Earth, and Southern Asia has been and is projected to continue to be one of the most affected regions. LÄS MER
5. Reconfiguring Conservation and Ontological Politics : An Ethnography of Campesinos and Scientists in the Andean Páramos
Sammanfattning : This thesis offers an empirical analysis that critically assesses and expands the concept of “ontological politics” as a tool for understanding environmental conservation practice. It takes the case of páramos conservation in Colombia, a high mountain ecosystem located above 2600 mts altitude. LÄS MER
