Systems thinking has been applied to social-ecological systems, governance, and resource use (see Elinor Ostrom’s paper, and how her Socio Ecological Systems framework was operationalized to assess sustainability in Baja California Sur); urban ecology (The Nature of Cities); organizations (Peter Senge); health care (WHO) and education (Waters Foundation). We acknowledge here that this field is a growth area for both the Conservancy and perhaps for the conservation community more broadly. You can learn more about systems thinking at The Systems Thinker.
