Short Biography

My work tries to combine both research and environmental management to improve conservation effectiveness. I work on international conservation projects and develop research on the human aspects of environmental management around the Mediterranean basin. More specifically, I am interested in the values and perceptions of different populations as they relate to management, decision making, and conservation. Originally trained in Agronomy and Natural Resources, I later branched out into social sciences and received a PhD in Human Geography from the Aix-Marseille University in France.

Sustainable conservation planning depends on understanding local context including the way social values impact a landscape. Flamingos are used here as a flagship species to focus the social values of a broad range of people living in and working in the Camargue in France. A survey questionnaire (n = 87) was used to identify the range of ways in which people value the landscape and their perception of effectiveness of flamingo management strategies. Survey analysis was conducted through a multi-method approach, triangulating standard descriptive statistics, qualitative data analysis, and multivariate analysis applying numerical taxonomy. Applying numerical taxonomy allowed us to identify and define six social assemblages. Each assemblage had geographical characteristics with distinct values and perceptions in relation to management. The primary residence and geographic identity of the participants was defining, showing clear value differences from participants living in different parts of the delta. The participants most frequently agreed that flamingos contributed to the aesthetic, economic, biodiversity, and recreational values of the landscape. We show how identifying points of consensus and points in contest is necessary for navigating differences in values for conservation planning. This research shows the importance of the local social context in sustainably managing landscape change.

Integrated socio-ecological decision-making is important in improving legitimacy in management decisions through effective solutions that avert conflicts. This research examined social perceptions in landscape planning and management with regard to the Greater flamingo, a flagship species along the southern French Coast. A strategic delivery to a cross-section in a social catchment (n = 87) captured the perception and the recognition of management strategies through a survey questionnaire. Analysis was conducted through a multi-method approach, triangulating qualitative and quantitative results. Results show the importance of the attachment to flamingos in local landscapes. Knowledge on flamingo ecology was relatively high and participants perceived some of the regional management options to be unfavorable for flamingos. Participants identified threats to the species and expressed concern for the future of the flamingos, challenging the legitimacy of some landscape management decisions and planning policies. This research demonstrates the role of flagship species in stimulating reflection on landscape management, addressing both the ecological and human dimensions. Understanding social perceptions of biodiversity management objectives is fundamental for effective coastal conservation.

Participatory mapping provides a way to collate a wide range of landscape values providing a visual representation to inform conservation planning. We tested the use of an iconic species, the Greater Flamingo, as a lens for participatory mapping to render explicit the socio-cultural values attributed in a landscape. Spatial information on six landscape values in a biodiversity hotspot, the Camargue Biosphere Reserve (southern France) was collected from 113 participants through surveys, interviews and workshops. This data was geo-located through a SoftGIS methodology to map and quantify the overlap of bivariate hotspots identifying value concurrence. The most frequent values recorded through total number of polygons and surface areas were wilderness and recreation. The least frequently mapped values were economic loss and biodiversity. There was frequent concurrence between biodiversity and aesthetic values especially in wetlands (lagoons, salt flats and sea). There was also frequent concurrence between biodiversity and recreational values with more overlap in sites with easy access (along roads and public areas). Our results show that using an iconic species is an effective way to render explicit spatial variations in the values attributed to a landscape and to identify concurrence of values, thus enabling integration of multiple landscape values in conservation planning.

The declining state of biodiversity is of global significance with conservation strategies driving conventions and agreements that cross national boundaries. Environmental management is a reflection of the socio-cultural values underpinning the way in which biodiversity is valued. Understanding these social values is essential for successful management. This study focused on two Mediterranean deltas that apply the same international conservation convention. We identified and compared the way in which biodiversity is perceived and valued at a landscape scale. A deliberative sampling methodology collected a total of 93 perspectives from actors involved in environmental management through survey-questionnaires. Values were linked to ecosystem services in both samples. Differences in samples were identified by using a full range of landscape values. Biodiversity, recreation and aesthetics values were the highest ranked in the Rhone sample. The Gediz sample highlighted the future, recreation and intrinsic values. Further differences were identified including perceived responsibility for biodiversity. Rhone participants identified cross-scale responsibility and Gediz participants identified responsibility for biodiversity at the macro and meso social scales. The way in which biodiversity is valued and perceptions of who is responsible has a consequence for the translation of international conservation treaties into environmental management and participation in the local context.

This study analysed 14 management plans and guidelines from a 25-year period to understand trends in conservation planning. A Rosetta Stone Analysis was used for the systematic comparison of plans and guidelines. Management plans incorporated management philosophies, management scenarios, opportunities for infrastructure, and plans for data collection by 2000. As of 2010, they incorporated ecosystem services, stakeholders’ objectives and methods for storing and analysing data. The results demonstrate the complex nature of management plans, with an important workload for site managers. Recommendations for future planning include adjustments in planning timeframes and a better identification of conservation targets from initial stages.

Agri-environment schemes (AES) favouring the maintenance of hedges were implemented in the Camargue (southern France) as it has previously been proven to reduce the risk of damage caused by Greater Flamingo incursions into rice fields. Given the persistent incursions, we estimated the economic cost of damage from 2007 to 2009, the uptake rate of hedge-related AES and explored the limits of these schemes as a mitigation effort. Semi-structured and key informant interviews, site mapping and field visits were made to verify claims and estimate damage. Number of plants/m2 and fertile stems/plant were estimated on 1,498 and 312 grids, respectively, spread over 26 rice fields. Damaged areas of rice fields forayed by flamingos presented from 1.35 to 3.06 t/ha lower yield than undamaged areas. We estimated 228€/ha average loss in forayed fields for a total of 400,000€ in yield loss in 2008. Administrative constraints limited AES and free seedlings distribution, preventing the problem from being addressed at an appropriate scale. The trivial financial support for hedge management relative to more lucrative AES with lower constraints resulted in low uptake rate. We propose that modifications of AES take into account landscape factors over administrative boundaries and that the financial support for AES be scaled up relative to other subsidies in order to address the efforts necessary to achieve landscape changes to reduce human–wildlife conflict.

Les incursions des flamants roses dans les rizières de Camargue ne concernent que quelques pourcentages de la sole rizicole, néanmoins les dégâts occasionnés ponctuellement peuvent être conséquents et nécessiter un re-semis complet des parcelles touchées. Le rôle dissuasif de la présence de haies sur la venue des flamants ayant été démontré, un contrat visant à indemniser l’entretien des haies autour des rizières a été proposé dans le cadre des Mesures-Agri-Environnementales (MAE). Pour autant, très peu de riziculteurs ont souscrit à ce contrat. Nous montrons que ce faible taux de contractualisation s’explique par la restriction des MAE aux périmètres du Parc Naturel Régional de Camargue et Natura 2000, et par le fait que la présence et l’entretien des haies sont perçus par la majorité des riziculteurs comme incompatibles avec les pratiques culturales intensives. Afin que soient opérés les changements paysagers nécessaires à la réduction des dommages, les MAE devront mieux prendre en compte la zone affectée et les subventions correspondent davantage aux coûts financiers. Ce mesures ne seraient seules suffire. Il paraît également nécessaire de s’appuyer sur des riziculteurs clés dans leur démarche.

Integrated coastal zone management has evolved in practice and in the literature to implicate and advocate for public participation. Public participation has been proposed to open debate, contribute to policy formulation, increase government accountability, build support for agency programs, reduce community tensions and increase the sustainability of the actions. This study analysed the success of three integrated coastal zone management projects based on 8 process and output indicators. Public participation does not seem to have had an impact on the overall project objective nor on the sustainability indicators. These results bring us back to the initial concept of ICZM based on horizontal and vertical integration, and suggest that projects promoting ICZM need to be adapted to each specific cultural and political context. Long-term sustainability and natural resource management will only be achieved when the projects and activities are adapted to meet the reality on the field.

A perception study of the impacts that a new beach resort has, and will have, on the resident population in the northeast of Morocco was implemented during the construction phase of the resort. The residents have felt the impacts on local development, incomes, quality of life and the environment, and expressed their perception of how the opening of the new site will continue to impact their community. The study shows differences concerning the type of impact according to each professional sector. Despite the different perceptions, residents seem united in their overall concerns and fears about the how the new beach resort will impact the environment.
