Chapter 9
Synthesis: Managing Socio-ecological
Production Landscapes and Seascapes
for Sustainable Communities in Asia
Osamu Saito, Suneetha M Subramanian, Shizuka Hashimoto,
and Kazuhiko Takeuchi
Abstract While Chaps. 2–5 covered specific case studies of landscapes and seascapes in Japan (Chaps. 2–4) and Bangladesh (Chap. 5), Chaps. 6–8 consisted of a
series of review articles on sustainable management approaches relating to land/
seascapes that explored lessons learned from assessing resilience in socio- ecological
production landscapes and seascapes (SEPLS) (Chap. 6), solutions for sustainable
management of SEPLS in Asia (Chap. 7), and the effectiveness of biodiversity science–policy interfaces (SPIs) from local to global scales (Chap. 8). These chapters
are summarized here according to their objectives, materials/study sites, methods/
tools, spatial scales, and key actors. Then, the implications for the United Nations
Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Post-2020 Global Biodiversity
Framework are discussed using key leverage points of transformations toward sustainability identified by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) Global Assessment: (1) visions of a
good life; (2) total consumption and waste; (3) values and action; (4) inequalities;
