| Summary: | Although the conflict between conservation efforts and economic growth is a
major topic of conservation science, the conflicts between different
conservation projects are much less documented and represented in the
literature. We provide an overview of some case studies where these conflicts
arise and discuss how to manage and solve them. We argue that conflicts are
unavoidable, and that we can find optimal and efficient solutions only by
studying the holistic, macroscopic properties of whole socio-ecological
systems. Novel computational solutions offer simple and efficient simulation
toolkits providing indicators that can support strategic and integrative
decisions from a systems perspective. |
