   Defenders of Indigenous land in Malaysia are targeted, singled out and face opposition from state authorities and private individuals when they speak up. These abuses have further disenfranchised Indigenous communities in Malaysia, marginalising them socially and harming them economically. The report examines the struggles human rights defenders of Indigenous peoples have endured as they have sought to claim their right to Indigenous lands, and the steps that should be taken by the government to ensure that they are given the protection they deserve.

   Bangladesh is a small country with a large population. Its increasingly developing economy further makes land a lucrative source of fixed capital. On the other hand, land titling is a cumbersome and lengthy process, where different government bodies process different sets of documents, and bureaucratic loopholes encourage fraudulent activities by organized people. As a result, the current model suffers from good governance.

   A causal analysis framework for land-use change and the potential role of bioenergy policy

   We propose a causal analysis framework to increase understanding of land-use change (LUC) and the reliability of LUC models. This health-sciences-inspired framework can be applied to determine probable causes of LUC in the context of bioenergy. Calculations of net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for LUC associated with biofuel production are critical in determining whether a fuel qualifies as a biofuel or advanced biofuel category under regional (EU), national (US, UK), and state (California) regulations.

   A classification to align social-ecological land systems research with policy in Europe

   Both research and policy recognize land systems as fundamental to human life and activities. However, these two perspectives approach land from different ends and it can be difficult to see how studied variables contribute to broader policy goals. In this paper, we argue that there is a need to better select variables to study land systems as social-ecological systems, and to align research more with those policy goals.

   Case studies of social-ecological landscapes that consider local, spatially explicit land cover changes are necessary for the development of generalised knowledge on deforestation. This study focussed on two indigenous territories of eastern Panama that share the same settlement history, size and location but are perceived by local dwellers to differ in terms of land cover.

   Desde os primeiros recortes territoriais do grande Recife, as igrejas pontuam o cenário urbano com suas torres, seus adros e pátios, sendo fortes símbolos de reconhecimento e identificação de bairros da cidade. As igrejas e seus pátios e adros fizeram parte dos primeiros engenhos e sesmarias, depois freguesias, hoje bairros, conferindo uma certa ambiência urbana que não foge à regra sobre a forma de ocupação característica do Brasil colônia, foram e são espaços de convivência da sociedade das cercanias, constituindo hoje espaços públicos e laicos na maioria das vezes.

   As a part of the greening of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy in 2013, Ecological Focus Areas (EFA) became mandatory for many European farmers, with the aim to enhance on-farm biodiversity. However, their effects on biodiversity have been disputed. In this interdisciplinary effort, we assessed the effects of current and alternative formulations of EFA regulations in Sweden.

   The insufficient supply of serviced land at affordable prices for
   the urban poor and the need for regularization of the consequent
   illegal occupations in urban areas are two of the most
   important issues on the Latin American land policy agenda.
   Taking a structural/integrated view on the functioning
   of the urban land market in Latin America, this paper discusses
   the nexus between the formal and the informal land markets. It
   thus exposes the perverse feedback effects that curative regularization

    Adaptive biodiversity management of semi-natural hay meadows: The case of West-Norway

    Worldwide semi-natural habitats of high biological value are in decline. Consequently, numerous Agri-Environment Schemes (AESs) intended to halt biodiversity loss within these habitats have been implemented. One approach has been the application of “adaptive management”, where scientific knowledge is applied alongside the traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) of stakeholders in order to establish an integrated approach that is adjusted as outcomes are assessed. In this paper we examine the effectiveness of the adaptive management approach of Norway’s Action Plan for Hay Meadows (APHM).
