Kaera Coetzer’s current research focuses on understanding ecosystem behaviour as it is shaped through the actions of landscape actors and institutions at various scales, with a particular interest on environmental governance at the landscape scale. In this respect, she focuses on finding pathways to improved human-nature relationships in social-ecological systems (SESes), with a specific interest in UNESCO Biosphere Reserves:– how they operate as sustainability organisations, how they curate sustainability pathways and support more equitable and participatory decision-making around the environment, more sustainable resource-use behaviour, and thus, more sustainable local livelihoods long-term.
