Social-ecological memories as references for biodiversity restoration and conservation action in coastal community.

Biodiversity has declined significantly since the onset of the Anthropocene, prompting calls for "Nature Positive" initiatives to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030.

To address this gap, we utilized residents' memories as references for biodiversity restoration in Dakenggu, a fishing village in Taiwan.

Urban resident attitudes toward hunting and venison: A case study of Kyoto City, Japan.

As game meat, particularly from wild mammals like deer, gains popularity in urban areas as a sustainable and ethical food source, understanding public attitudes toward its consumption becomes increasingly important.
