Between principles and practice: exploring transformative discourses in a Dutch National Park.
Article in Biodiversity and conservation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Transformative change is essential to halt the worldwide decline in biodiversity. Therefore, conservation efforts must extend beyond the traditional approach of protected areas to address the complex drivers of this decline. Landscape-oriented partnerships, such as partnership-based national parks, are emerging as potential instruments for this change. To be truly transformative, we assume that such partnerships must be underpinned by a shared discourse reflecting the principles of transformative governance. Drawing on transformative change and transformative governance theory combined with Q-methodology, we have developed an approach to examining the transformative elements of partnership discourses. We applied this approach to National Park Hollandse Duinen in the Netherlands, a partnership-based national park whose vision holds transformative potential. Our study incorporated seven exploratory interviews, twenty-eight Q-methodology interviews, a workshop and participant observation in eleven meetings. Our analysis revealed four distinct partnership discourses, each of which contained transformative elements. However, none of them were fully aligned with our transformative governance framework. This finding highlights that different ideas on transformative governance do not automatically align, and that endorsing one element does not guarantee support for others. Furthermore, partners perceived tensions between transformative governance principles and the realities of partnership practice, raising questions about the potential of such partnerships to contribute to transformative change.
