People in Nature (PiN) is an approach to systematically identify and documentÌýthe value and uses (both material and cultural) of biodiversityÌý–Ìýidentifying where in the landscape the benefits can be found,Ìýand understanding how these benefits are realised and distributed. Applying this approach though conducting a PiN assessmentÌýcan help project developers withÌýsetting ecological and livelihoods baselines, designing site-relevant monitoring and evaluationÌýsystems, and informing priority-setting for activities –Ìýboth for specific species and/or habitats, and to maximise positive livelihoods outcomes.
The COVID-19 pandemicÌýhas changedÌýland and resource use patterns in many rural areas, and PiN can contribute to post-COVID planningÌýby identifying opportunities and constraints to sustainable species use and livelihoods improvement.ÌýThis is accomplished by facilitating the prioritisation of desired and sustainable activities, and by incorporating biodiversity's crucial role in providing for day-to-day needs of rural and indigenous communities.
