Oil Palm Adaptive Landscapes.

The overall objective is to improve the management of oil palm landscapes across Asia, Africa and Latin America. We will do so by engaging stakeholders and boundary partners at regional, national, and local levels with plausible scenarios developed through integrated platforms that merge the social, economic, and ecological drivers shaping oil palm development, and assess their implications on biodiversity and ecosystem services. We define `stakeholders¿ as those with an interest and an impact on the issue at hand, and `boundary partners¿ as a subset of stakeholders with willingness to bring about change in the system and the capacity or power to do so, yet not directly involved in the project. We have three specific objectives, each of which builds upon the existing initiatives, datasets and networks established by project partners in the target countries.
