Einzigartige Landschaften in Wert setzen
Umweltbildung, Erholungsräume, Abenteuer – in unserer Landschaft lässt sich dank spannender Angebote viel erleben. Für diese Angebote braucht es innovative Ideen und engagierte Menschen, die sie tatkräftig umsetzen. In einem Webdossier des BAFU werden drei erfolgreiche Projekte vorgestellt, bei denen die lokalen Akteure die Besonderheiten von Landschaften erkannt, deren Potenzial herausgeschält und für andere Interessierte erlebbar gemacht.

Living Well in Mountains at the 22nd Swiss Geoscience Meeting
What does ‘living well’ mean in a mountain context? During the 22nd Swiss Geoscience Meeting, the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mountain Research (CIRM), the Forum Landscape, Alps and Parks of the Swiss Academy of Sciences (FoLAP), and the Mountain Research Initiative (MRI) hosted a dynamic and well-attended session to explore this topic.

Where is the wolf? A multi-method comparison of social values and perceptions in a Swiss park
This article presents our recent experience studying public perceptions, discourses, and social values in Park Beverin, a Regional Nature Park in Switzerland. We applied four social research methods (news media analysis, survey with micro-narratives, go-along interviews, and focus groups), and delved into the subject of wolf Canis lupus adapting a triangulation protocol and systematic process from the health sciences. We observed the recurring perceptions of ‘wolf' throughout three of the four methods; however, depictions, values, prominence, and presence varied by method. Social values of the wolf were mostly silent when compared to other topics, and ‘wolf amplification' and ‘wolf fatigue' point to the need to rethink the social aspects in wolf management, conservation, and policy. The findings also show the need for diverse research methods for revealing social values and perceptions on sensitive topics that otherwise the use of one method may be masking or amplifying.

Broadening the horizon in land use change modelling: Normative scenarios for nature positive futures in Switzerland
Within scenario-based research of social-ecological systems, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of normative scenarios that define positive outcomes for both nature and society. These scenarios stand in contrast to typical exploratory scenarios that focus on predicting the most likely future changes, by instead allowing for the rethinking of existing strategies to identify the possibilities for transformative change. However, while there has been an increasing number of studies presenting qualitative narratives of normative scenarios, there is still a gap in terms of operationalizing these narratives in quantitative simulation modelling.
New article in Geography and Sustainability - Analyzing the extent and use of impervious land in rural landscapes
The rapid increase in impervious surfaces presents significant challenges to sustainable land management. Our paper explores how sealed surfaces, often associated with urbanization, are also prevalent in rural regions and what these surfaces are used for.
