New publication: Integrating Social Value in Landscape Planning: Experiences from Working with Indigenous Communities in Australia

Together with David Hinchley, Damien Parriman, Mike Heiner and James Fitzsimons we wrote a book-chapter titled “Integrating Social Value in Landscape Planning: Experiences from Working with Indigenous Communities in Australia” for the publication Social Value, Climate Change and Environmental Stewardship: Insights from Theory and Practice.
