dc.descriptionOpen Access via the Elsevier agreement The first author would like to thank all community area residents, conservation practitioners, and rangers who opened their homes and lifeworlds and participated and supported the research so readily. It was an honour and privilege to live among you. A heartfelt thank you to you all. My sincere thanks to the dedicated staff of the two partner NGOs who played major roles in facilitating fieldwork and enriching the research through candid conversations around the fireplace. A special thank you to Petrus Jansen ‘Jakuree’ Taurob, my trusted field assistant, whose intercultural and linguistic skills enabled unique access across heterogenous local communities. I would also like to thank Gearoid Millar at the University of Aberdeen for his invaluable guidance and support. In addition, all authors would like to thank the anonymous reviewer for their extensive and constructive feedback.en
