Explore how conservation can safeguard both human safety and wildlife. This panel brings together global experts and community perspectives to share practical, rights-based approaches for living alongside wildlife, highlighting strategies that maintain dignity, agency, and cultural heritage while reducing risks in shared landscapes.
Description de la séance
Human-wildlife coexistence is often painted as harmonious, yet for communities living alongside elephants, lions, rhinos, tigers or other species, the reality is often fear, loss, and threat. Human-Centred Conservation insists that successful conservation cannot ignore these lived realities. Community wellbeing and prosperity needs to be intrinsic to the conservation reality. This panel will probe the hard questions: can people live with wildlife and still prosper in a measurable way? What does it mean to protect both people and wildlife when their needs collide? Panellists will share examples from around the world, expose the trade-offs behind different coexistence strategies, and explore what Human-Centred Conservation looks like when safety and survival are on the line. The HCC approach seeks to ensure that successful coexistence is characterised by limiting the risks for people and wildlife and ensuring nature-based economies ensure thriving communities and ecosystems.Speaker
