Description

Social-ecological transformation is needed to face today´s global envionmental and socio-economic changes without loosing essential parts of biodiversity. However, the initiation, promotion and support of social-ecological transformation for the conservation and restoration of biodiversity still needs to be further explored. In this study, 22 projects and processes were analysed in Germany that improve biodiversity and provide benefits for society. According to the framework on transformative change provided by Wittmer et al. (2021), the following topics were analysed: a) transformative vision, b) transformative knowledge, c) transformational dynamics, d) emancipation and agency, and e) transformative governance. In total, 16 features, enabling transformative change for biodiversity were indetified, many of which may be applicable in other countries with similar governance context. These 16 features will be shown as poster at the iDiv Conference.
