This theme develops participatory mapping techniques for assessing the diverse values of nature, as well as conservation opportunities in urban, regional and rural landscapes. Substantial attention is devoted to advancing participatory mapping to support the design, planning and evaluation of nature-based solutions, and developing novel techniques for comparing and, where possible, integrating socially and ecologically important areas for conservation. We are also interested in advancing important topics related to the effect of global shocks like pandemics on connection to nature in diverse land-use settings.
