Description

Despite ambitious policy targets at the global and EU levels, biodiversity is under increasing threat. Ambitious policy targets have been set to halt the loss of biodiversity. Still, effective implementation depends, among other factors, on supportive behavioural responses from forest owners and managers who must respond to multiple policy and socio-economic drivers, forcing them to make decisions and trade-offs while dealing with complexity and uncertainty.

Several forest models have recently been improved in representing the behaviour and behavioural change of forest owners and managers. Building on that, the current study aimed to examine how behaviour and behavioural change can support improvements in forest biodiversity status and, more generally, in more sustainable socio-ecological forest systems, including synergies and trade-offs, by quantitatively assessing the outcomes of selected policy and management scenarios.

This report is the BioConsent project Deliverable 3.2 / 3.3.
