  26. What are the central issues of the Livelihoods and Biodiversity Interface? • Bio-physical conditions • Socio-economic conditions • Cultural and spiritual conditions • Technology – science, engineering, management • The communication of information – knowledge • Public and stakeholder participation • Perceptions, values, norms and attitudes • Legal systems • Institutions • Combining nature, science, politics and society

  27. Science Interface Policy Stakeholders

  28. Interface of what? Interface through what? Interface for what reason? Interface for what outcome? Interfaces in livelihoods and biodiversity management

  29. How We work in LiveDiverse • 1. The creation of a multidisciplinary knowledge base and vulnerability mapping. • 2. Construction of way/methodology to identify public perceptions, beliefs, values towards biodiversity and sustainable livelihoods. • 3. Identification and mapping of the areas vulnerable • Natural science criteria • Socio-economic, legal and political • Cultural-spiritual perspective

  30. LiveDiverse • 4. The construction of a GIS vulnerability data base • 5. The identification of the biodiversity and sustainable livelihoods ‘hot-spots • a high risk (according to the natural science criteria) • and a low capability to manage those risks (according to the socio-economic, cultural-spiritual and political criteria). • 6. The use of the knowledge gained in these processes to construct biodiversity and livelihood scenarios.
