Social-ecological resilience through a biocultural lens: a participatory methodology to support global targets and local priorities

More research is needed to properly represent social-ecological system (SES) interactions that support the integrity of biological and cultural, i.e., biocultural, relationships in places experiencing environmental, economic, and social change. In this paper we offer a novel methodology to address t...
