Environment and Society: Advances In Research seeks proposals for review-style papers concerned with value and the environment.

Papers might focus on:

• Land, land tenure, and dispossession
• Resources and compensation
• Conservation Valuation
• REDD and the values / valuations associated with it
• Economic evaluation of ecosystem services
• Projects that are trying to predict the future value of wild seed strains or particular animal breeds for different environments and/or communities and then looking for capitalist investors to fund conservation or dispersion initiatives.
• The agency and value of natural resources
• Citizen involvement in environmental monitoring/science/regulation
• “Rights based approaches” in conservation
• The value of biocultural approaches in contemporary scholarship and conservation practice
• How value is measured (in REDD projects and conservation projects, for example)
• How things are valued in an abstract sense
• How are things valued in the concrete context of compensation
• How valuation gets expressed in practice
