Introduction
My research interest is driven by my strong belief that we need to integrate social science based research in order to successfully manage and conserve wildlife and other natural resources within nowadays multi-use landscapes.
I have a diverse background with research experience from interdisciplinary projects combining different social science disciplines and ecology, as well as working experience within forestry, agriculture and hunting.

Foraging on crops by wild ungulates may create human–wildlife conflicts through reducing crop production. Ungulates interact with and within complex socio‐ecological systems, making the reduction of crop damage a challenging task. Aside from ungulate densities, crop damage is influenced by different drivers affecting ungulate foraging behaviour: fo...
Climate change represents a growing ecological challenge. The (sub) arctic and boreal regions of the world experience the most rapid warming, presenting an excellent model system for studying how climate change affects mammals. Moose (Alces alces) are a particularly relevant model species with their circumpolar range. Population declines across the...
There is consensus that we need sustainability transitions and increasing acknowledgement that such transitions should be conducted in a just manner. However, what exactly a ‘just transition’ means and how this should be brought about is less clear. Attempts to examine the justice of transitions to date primarily rely on normative interpretations o...
Collaborative governance regimes may be vulnerable because of dependency on stakeholders’ voluntary engagement and efforts. This study focuses on the Swedish moose management system, a multi-level collaborative governance regime inspired by the ecosystem approach. Self-determination theory is used to explore perceived prerequisites of basic needs f...
Reducing browsing damages from cervids (Cervidae) on economically valuable tree species is a challenging task in many countries. Apart from cervid abundance, landscape characteristics, such as forest composition, land use, forage availability and climatic conditions, may affect the degree of browsing through both direct and indirect effects. A bett...
Agriculture is facing increasing challenges as a result of climate change, biodiversity loss, environmental degradation, and demographic change. Yet, at the same time, currently dominant agricultural practices contribute to exacerbate these challenges. It is therefore widely recognized that there is a need for an agricultural sustainability transit...
I rapporten presenteras allmänhetens attityder till de fem stora rovdjuren: björn (Ursus arctos), järv (Gulo gulo), lodjur (Lynx lynx), varg (Canis lupus) och kungsörn (Aquila chrysaetos) i Sverige.
I rapporten presenteras allmänhetens attityder till framför allt två policyområden; skyddet av natur och bevarandet av de stora rovdjuren. Vi sammanfattar specifikt resultaten för Västerbotten och analyserar om det har skett förändringar över tid. I vissa fall jämför vi svaren från Västerbotten med resultaten från ett nationellt representativt urva...
I rapporten presenteras allmänhetens attityder till framför allt två policyområden; skyddet av natur och bevarandet av de stora rovdjuren. Vi sammanfattar specifikt resultaten för Norrbotten och analyserar om det har skett förändringar över tid. I vissa fall jämför vi svaren från Norrbotten med resultaten från ett nationellt representativt urval fö...
I rapporten presenteras allmänhetens attityder till framför allt två policyområden; skyddet av natur och bevarandet av de stora rovdjuren. Vi sammanfattar specifikt resultaten för Jämtland och analyserar om det har skett förändringar över tid. I vissa fall jämför vi svaren från Jämtland med resultaten från ett nationellt representativt urval för at...
Collaborative governance approaches have been suggested as strategies to handle wicked environmental problems. Evaluations have found promising examples of effective natural resource governance, but also highlighted the importance of social-ecological context and institutional design. The aim of this study was to identify factors that contribute to...
The acknowledgement of uncertainty and complexity in social-ecological systems has increased the implementation of collaborative governance regimes for environmental issues. The performance of these new regimes to deliver favourable social and ecological outcomes must therefore be evaluated. We focus on the case of Swedish wildlife governance, whic...
Natural resources such as wildlife are part of social-ecological systems, which are characterized by inherent complexity, uncertainty, and changes. Therefore, collaborative, decentralized, and adaptive approaches tend to be preferred in environmental governance. Despite extensive research efforts, central questions about ‘what works where, and why’...
In 2012 Sweden implemented a collaborative governance regime for managing moose (Alces alces). This was guided by the awareness that decentralization and stakeholder participation can help to reduce conflicts, foster systematic learning, and handle complexity. However, previous research has highlighted that there are no blueprint approaches to the...
The collaborative ecosystem-based management of moose (Alces alces) in Sweden puts a strain on the involved stakeholders. Representatives have to cope with environmental uncertainty and social stress associated with goal conflicts. This article advanced the understanding of representatives’ coping strategies in response to perceived challenges and...

A holistic understanding of the complex interactions between humans, wildlife, and habitats is essential for the design of sustainable wildlife policies. This challenging task requires innovative and interdisciplinary research approaches. Using the newly implemented ecosystem-based management of moose (Alces alces) in Sweden as a case, we applied O...
I den här rapporten presenteras resultat från en undersökning om de sociala förutsättningarna för flerartsförvaltning som skickades till samtliga älgförvaltningsgrupper i Sverige 2016.
Undersökningen utgör en del av forskningsprojektet ”GOVERNANCE - HUMAN RESPONSES TO MULTI-SPECIES MANAGEMENT” som studerar förutsättningarna för flerartsförvaltning...
European researchers from both the natural and social sciences show growing interest in studying interactions between society and wildlife. A wealth of theoretical frameworks, concepts, and methods are used, but an integration of perspectives is lacking. This research note summarizes results from two workshops that included 63 delegates from 25 Eur...
The ranges of wolves (Canis lupus) and bears (Ursus arctos) across Europe have expanded recently, and it is important to assess public attitudes toward this expansion because responses toward these species vary widely. General attitudes toward an object are good predictors of broad behavioral patterns; thus, attitudes toward wolves and bears can be...
