Project Description: To address the current lack of studies on the effectiveness of biosphere reserve management and governance approaches in achieving the combined conservation and development objectives our research group integrates different ecological and socio-economic theoretical concepts and empirical methods in an adaptive manner. The theoretical framework encompasses conservation biology, social psychology and rural and development sociology including research on common property governance.
The integrated set of methods consists of a combination of quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches including a comprehensive literature review, a statistical meta-analysis and a survey (all with a global focus). A couple of detailed case studies in biosphere reserves in tropical and subtropical countries will be conducted as well as in-depth interviews with experts from all over the world. Ecological aspects such as the determination of the conservation success of different biodiversity management and governance approaches in biosphere reserves will be included into the socio-economic work through database analyses and supporting fieldwork.
The results of our empirical research will be integrated in the light of our theoretical findings, leading to a comprehensive analytical instrument identifying success and failure factors of an effective biodiversity and biosphere reserve management.
