Topics related to the mandate include (but are not limited to):
- Ecosystem Risk Assessment
- Ecosystem Restoration
- Nature-based Solutions (NbS)
- Cultural Practices and Ecosystem Management
- Ecosystem Governance
- Socio-ecological Resilience and Transformation
- Human Health and Ecosystem Management

- Please include an image with each contribution, along with credit to the photographer and subject and a statement that you have permission to use the image.
- The authors should ensure that their works are wholly original and if they have used the work and/or words of others, that they have cited or quoted them appropriately.
