PLUMALA – Participatory land-use modelling to accelerate sustainable transformation applying a landscape approach
Project description
The six-year r4d project “Managing Telecoupled Landscapes” (Jan. 2015 – Dec. 2020) aimed at exploring concrete pathways for sustainable livelihoods in forest frontier landscapes and explored how transdisciplinary learning among multiple stakeholders opens up pathways to adaptive governance of telecoupled social-ecological systems. Following this project, PLUMALA continues its work in northeastern Madagascar. Based on the developed land-use change scenarios, a collaborative visioning and planning is conducted over a period of twelve months. For this project, PLUS at ETH Zurich collaborates with ESSA-Forêts, University of Antananarivo and WWF Madagascar.
