Innovative research on the complex interaction of socio-economic and global environmental trends on biodiversity and ecosystem services is needed to help develop more informative scenarios for addressing environmental and human development challenges. To overcome these challenges coupled natural-human systems approaches and analyses are needed. These provide improved scenarios of biodiversity and ecosystem services that couple the outputs of direct and indirect drivers such as land use, invasive species, overexploitation, biodiversity, environmental change, and pollution. The resulting models provide a methodological state-of-the art that results in more accurate quantitative assessments, better land use, and more effective ecosystem services. Employing this methodology, this research project, which is an international coalition between scientists in the US and six European nations, seeks to establish a process that accounts for multiple viewpoints in decision-making on the future of conservation and resource management using sites in the US, Sweden, Spain, and the Netherlands as case studies, with the US site consisting of the Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska. Selected sites were chosen because protected wilderness areas designations in the US and Europe are among the most ambitious in the world, yet these areas face unprecedented threats from changing socio-ecological dynamics and diverging societal visions for conservation. Common challenges for protected wilderness areas include inconsistent priorities between local and national governments, a need to expand stakeholder involvement in conservation initiatives, and an imbalance between biodiversity conservation goals and economic objectives. Thus, over a three-year period this research will develop processes and forums that link local, national, US, and European policy makers with researchers, civil society members, and the private sector to foster dialogue that seeks to accommodate multiple visions for biodiversity conservation. The project will construct strategies that span interest groups and enable protected area management agencies to develop policy that is responsive to community needs and preferences for future growth using participatory scenario modelling, multi-narrative platforms, knowledge co-creation, and capacity building through local and inter-site knowledge alliances. Research results will deliver useful means and models for advancing policy, developing communities of practice, and contribute to the advancement of scientific literature in biodiversity and social science conservation. The Program found the broader impacts of the work to be strong. These include international collaboration with scientists from six nations (Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, the UK, and Switzerland), improving the interaction between local communities; the private sector; conservation groups; and government such that common visions and sustainable policies can be envisioned and enacted to protect wilderness areas. The project also provides training of a postdoctoral researcher in international transdisciplinary conservation work.This award supports US researchers participating in a project competitively selected by a coalition of 26 funding agencies from 23 countries through the Belmont Forum call for proposals on "Scenarios of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services". The call was a multilateral initiative designed to support research projects that contribute to the development of scenarios, models, and decision-support tools for understanding and solving critical issues facing our planet. The goal of the competition was to improve and apply participatory scenario methods to enhance research relevance and its acceptance and to address gaps in methods for modelling impact drivers and policy interventions. It was also to develop and communicate levels of uncertainty associated with the models, to improve data accessibility and fill gaps in knowledge. Using this methodology, this research project involves seven integrated work packages that are designed to engage and learn from various stakeholders and local communities associated with protected wilderness areas to help them collectively identify ways to balance social, ecological, and economic well-being. This approach involves novel strategies for communicating and engaging with inter-site and local site knowledge alliances as well as mobilizing and synthesizing multiple types of knowledge and ways of engaging with and better knowing the benefits and resources of protected areas. A model for inclusive conservation will be developed through site-based, social-ecological inventories, systematic scientific literature reviews, and oral histories of diverse stakeholders including those of environmental managers, indigenous peoples, non-native subsistence users, industry, local businesses, local government, and educators. The hands-on tool, STREAMLINE, will be used to examine the consequences of different scenarios and visions for protected areas that take into account all perspectives. Results will be quantified and visualized in easy-to-use, visually appealing, graphical formats. The work will also include development of experiments to determine how, why, and to what extent values of different stakeholders shift over time. This will be achieved using participatory mapping methods (e.g., Maptionnaire) and the translation of stakeholder visions into potential management strategies that incorporate estimates of uncertainty. An additional goal of the project is to establish workable governance models using social network analysis, characterizing power relationships, and providing for co-creation of knowledge which is essential for viable conservation approaches. Research results will be broadly disseminated to stakeholders and the public via outlets such as factsheets, policy briefs, webinars, film, and festivals.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

需要对生物多样性和生态系统服务的社会经济和全球环境趋势的复杂相互作用的创新研究，以帮助开发更有用的方案，以应对环境和人类发展挑战。为了克服这些挑战，需要进行自然人类系统的方法和分析。这些提供了改进的生物多样性和生态系统服务方案，这些方案将直接和间接驱动因素的输出（例如土地使用，入侵物种，过度开发，生物多样性，环境变化和污染）融为一体。最终的模型提供了一种方法上的最先进，可导致更准确的定量评估，更好的土地利用和更有效的生态系统服务。该研究项目采用了这种方法，该研究项目是美国与六个欧洲国家之间的国际联盟，试图建立一个过程，该过程涉及对保护和资源管理的未来在美国，瑞典，西班牙和荷兰的案例研究的未来的多种观点，并作为案例研究，美国由Denali National Park和Alaska组成的美国网站。之所以选择选定的地点是因为美国和欧洲受保护的荒野区域名称是世界上最雄心勃勃的地方之一，但是这些地区面临着史无前例的威胁，而改变了社会生态动态和保护社会愿景以保护。对受保护的荒野地区的共同挑战包括地方和国家政府之间的优先事项不一致，需要扩大利益相关者参与保护计划的需要以及生物多样性保护目标与经济目标之间的不平衡。因此，在三年的时间里，这项研究将开发过程和论坛，这些过程和论坛将本地，国家，美国和欧洲政策制定者与研究人员，民间社会成员和私营部门联系起来，以促进旨在适应生物多样性保护的多种愿景的对话。该项目将构建范围跨越利益集团的策略，并使受保护的地区管理机构能够使用参与式场景建模，多叙事平台，知识共同创建以及通过本地和地点知识联盟的能力建设来制定对社区需求和未来增长的偏好的政策。研究结果将提供有用的手段和模型，以促进政策，发展实践社区，并为生物多样性和社会科学保护方面的科学文献发展做出贡献。该计划发现，这项工作的更广泛影响是强大的。其中包括与六个国家（德国，西班牙，荷兰，瑞典，英国和瑞士）的科学家的国际合作，从而改善了当地社区之间的相互作用；私营部门；保护组；政府可以预见和颁布共同的愿景和可持续政策，以保护荒野地区。该项目还提供了国际跨学科保护工作中的博士后研究人员的培训。该奖项支持参与由23个国家 /地区的26个融资机构通过Belmont Forum通过Belmont Forum通过贝尔蒙特论坛提出建议的“生物多样性和生态系统服务方案”的项目竞争性选择的项目。该呼吁是一项多边倡议，旨在支持研究项目，该项目有助于开发场景，模型和决策支持工具，以理解和解决我们地球面临的关键问题。竞争的目的是改善和应用参与式方案方法，以增强研究相关性及其接受度，并解决对影响驱动因素和政策干预措施进行建模方法的差距。这也是要开发和传达与模型相关的不确定性水平，以提高数据可访问性并填补知识的空白。使用这种方法，该研究项目涉及七个综合工作包，旨在向与受保护的荒野领域相关的各种利益相关者和当地社区吸引和学习，以帮助他们共同确定平衡社会，生态和经济福祉的方法。这种方法涉及与现场和本地站点知识联盟交流和互动的新型策略，以及动员和综合多种类型的知识以及与之互动的方式，并更好地了解保护区的好处和资源。包容性保护的模型将通过基于站点的社会生态清单，系统的科学文献评论以及各种利益相关者的口述历史来开发，包括环境经理，土著人民，非本地生存用户，工业，行业，地方企业，地方政府，地方政府和教育工作者。动手工具即流线将用于检查考虑所有观点的保护区域的不同场景和愿景的后果。结果将以易于使用的，视觉吸引力的图形格式进行量化和可视化。这项工作还将包括开发实验，以确定不同利益相关者的价值如何，为什么和在何种程度上随时间变化。这将使用参与式映射方法（例如MaptionNaire）以及将利益相关者的愿景转化为潜在的管理策略，以结合不确定性的估计。该项目的另一个目标是使用社交网络分析，表征权力关系并提供知识共同创造，这对于可行的保护方法至关重要。研究结果将通过诸如FACTSHEET，政策摘要，网络研讨会，电影和节日等渠道大致传播给利益相关者和公众。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准通过评估来获得支持的。
