Appeals to environmental protection and farmer adoption of sustainable natural resource management – a case study of Kaya, Burkina Faso by Carroll II, D. A., Wilson, K. R., Rogers, B. L., Coates, J., Griffin, T. S.

“…Practices that create more permanent structures on the land, such as tree-planting and stone bunds, were more difficult for farmers to trial and adopt, especially those farming on rented or borrowed land. In contrast, less resource-intensive practices which produced tangible short-term were more highly adopted, with zaï as the foremost example. …”

Tractor service providers in Myanmar: Early insights from the 2025 monsoon season by Masias, Ian, Htar, May Thet, Oo, Theingi

“… • Cash flow problems affected 31 percent of TSPs, driven by declining revenues (50 percent) and rising operating costs (65 percent). Many coped by borrowing or selling assets. With high inflation, service charges likely failed to rise in real terms, adding to the financial pressures they faced. …”

Hybrid object detection and generative ai framework for automated river gauge plate reading and discharge estimation by Kayathri, Vigneswaran, Retief, Hugo, Clifford-Holmes, J., Garcia Andarcia, Mariangel, Tennakoon, Hansaka

“…This study evaluated model performance on three image subsets: the full dataset, a good–moderate quality subset (≈91% of samples), and a challenging “worst” subset (≈9%, including blurred, corroded, or occluded scales). The coefficient of determination (R²) for these categories was 0.552, 0.816, and 0.061, respectively, indicating robust predictive capability in moderate-to-high quality imagery with diminished accuracy under severe visual degradation. …”

Regulating forestry: experience with compliance and enforcement over the 25 years of Tasmania's forest practices system by Wilkinson, G.R, Schofield, M, Kanowski, P.

“…Tasmania's forest practices system, one of the most prescriptive globally and the most comprehensive in Australia, has evolved over the last 25 years in response to public demands for high standards of governance, accountability and transparency of forest regulation on both public and private lands.The system was developed in the context of strong contestation, in Tasmanian and Australian civil society and politics, about appropriate forest policies and practices in Tasmania.The system is governed by a Forest Practices Act, which provides for a co-regulatory approach administered by an independent statutory body, the Forest Practices Authority.All forest operations must be undertaken in accordance with a certified forest practices plan, prepared and certified by accredited Forest Practices Officers employed by forest managers.These co-regulatory components of the system are supported by independent monitoring and enforcement by the Forest Practices Authority.This paper describes the genesis and evolution of the Tasmanian forest practices system, and summarises the range of measures employed to foster high levels of compliance, with an emphasis on training and education, self-monitoring and reporting by the industry, independent monitoring by the Forest Practices Authority, and corrective actions, backed by enforcement provisions.Compliance monitoring over 27 years demonstrates rapid improvement in the decade following establishment of the system, with consistently high levels of achievement subsequently.However, larger corporate forest managers consistently achieve higher rates of compliance than do small-scale forest owners, and redressing this imbalance has been a recurrent theme in Tasmania's forest practices system.Experience of implementation of Tasmania's forest practices system suggests that well-designed and implemented co-regulatory approaches, with high levels of transparency, can be effective in delivery of good technical standards of forest practices and high levels of compliance.However, these will not in themselves mitigate public concern about forest management practices unless the policies governing those practices have broad support in civil society.…”
