Volunteers are crucial for ecological research and nature conservation. However, despite calls in the volunteering literature to look beyond recruitment only and pay more attention to retaining and supporting volunteers, nature volunteers' experiences have received little empirical attention. Using open survey questions among a diverse sample of formal and informal Dutch nature volunteers (N = 3775), we present a qualitative analysis of the factors that could cause nature volunteers to quit, and what keeps them going. Furthermore, we relate these to the three fundamental human needs for self-determination (autonomy, competence and relatedness). We find that reasons to quit nature volunteering include difficult situations (e.g. conflicts and tensions), volunteers' personal circumstances, and insufficient support or appreciation. Respondents are motivated to continue because of pleasure in the activities and the people they meet, but also by a connection with nature, and the role of nature volunteering in living a meaningful and fulfilling life.

Digitization has been the new engine for high-quality economic development. This paper explores how digitization affects enterprises’ green technology innovation. The study finds that digitization has a positive effect on enterprises’ green technology innovation. The mediating effect suggests that digitization can promote enterprises’ green technology innovation by optimizing the structure of human capital, increasing the attention of media and easing the financing constraints. The heterogeneity test finds that the larger the enterprise scale, the higher quality of internal control, and the stronger the promotion of digitalization to green technology innovation; The greater degree of environmental regulation of enterprises and the higher degree of industry competition, the more prominent the impact of digitization on its green technology innovation. This paper is a useful supplement to the traditional digital analysis framework, helping enterprises to better drive green technology innovation through digital transformation.

The presence of external environmental constraints has the potential to impact corporate decision-making behavior regarding production and spur innovative activities. This study focuses on a sample of Chinese A-share-listed corporations to investigate the influence of public environmental concerns (PEC) on corporate green technology innovation (GTI) within the framework of public participation in environmental governance. Moreover, this study explores the synergistic effects of media concerns and PEC. The main conclusions of this study are as follows: (1) PEC is a driving force for corporate GTI. Endogeneity and robustness tests support this finding. (2) Government environmental regulation and corporate environmental responsibility are critical mediating variables. (3) Heterogeneity analysis shows that PEC significantly impacts the GTI of state-owned corporations, high-tech corporations, and corporations that have obtained ISO 14001 certification. (4) Media concerns enhance GTI and exhibit a strong synergistic effect with PEC. Positive media news strengthens the "incentive effect" of PEC, while negative news plays a "pushing role." This study provides theoretical and empirical support for constructing an environmental governance mechanism for the public, media, corporations, and government.

Citizen Science (CS) projects vary greatly. The aims and goals of a CS project determine the type of citizen involvement and the tools to be used, which in most cases also entail information and communication technology (ICT) that facilitates public participation in scientific research. Resource limitations in CS projects often require adopting suboptimal tools, which, however, may come with hidden costs stemming from poor usability and underwhelming functionality, thus reducing volunteers' motivation. Meeting the volunteers' expectations by designing or using existing tools with functional features which fulfill and nurture their motivations, will foster long-term participation and contribute to project sustainability. This paper reviews the types of CS projects, volunteer motivation and retention strategies from the literature and classifies them thematically. This is distilled into guidance that can help CS practitioners to design and implement CS tools and plan and manage CS projects, which better serve their scientific and volunteer-related goals.

Appropriate adaptive management frameworks are useful for analyzing social-ecological systems. Natural resource managers and concerned stakeholders can co-design locally adapted, appropriate management systems based on the information obtained using frameworks, which leads to a better understanding of the social-ecological system (SES). However, no single framework addresses all environmental and social issues with equal efficiency. Therefore, the Driver-Activity-Pressure-State-Impact (Welfare)-Response (Measure) framework (DAPSI(W)R(M)), Ostrom's SES Framework (SESF), and the Systems Approach Framework (SAF) were combined to create an integrated analytical framework (IAF). Finally, the integrated analytical framework was tested in the Community Council of Alto and Medio Dagua (AMDA), Colombia, to assess a water quality problem emanating from anthropogenic activities. The approach seems to be valid and useful for the assessment of social-ecological systems.

Municipalities play a key role in the local contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, there is still a lack of evaluation of progress in specific contexts and analysis of influencing factors. This study analyses the performance of Portuguese municipalities, considering the indicators published on the ODSlocal platform. The results show that most of the targets have not yet been fulfilled, with a higher degree of achievement in the "People" pillar. SDG 4 (quality of education − 42.3%) and SDG 6 (clean water and sanitation − 42.1%) had the highest degree of achievement, in contrast to SDG 2 (zero hunger − 5.5%) and SDG 13 (climate action − 7.3%). The distinction of two clusters showed that larger municipalities and those located in more economically developed areas tend to perform better. Furthermore, municipal income and local purchasing power were found to influence the degree of achievement of the SDGs.

Community-based ecotourism (CBE) promotes conservation, sustainable tourism, community cohesion, and equitable benefit distribution. Our case study investigates the quality of community involvement in implementing the CBE framework within Cat Tien National Park, a major conservation reserve in Vietnam. Using qualitative methods, such as key informant interviews and participant observation, the study assesses the level of community participation in this particular ecotourism venture. Despite its collaborative design, the project's top-down implementation constrained local involvement and benefits. Challenges included power imbalances, capacity issues, and unfair distribution. These highlight the need for better stakeholder involvement, transparent governance, and genuine community engagement to improve CBE outcomes. To address these challenges, the paper recommends establishing community advisory boards, increasing support from government and private sectors, and integrating traditional knowledge into conservation. It emphasises the need for long-term commitment, culturally sensitive awareness campaigns, effective capacity-building, and transparent feedback to enhance community engagement and manage expectations.
