Reimagining Conservation

Atteindre l’équité Innovation disruptive et leadership pour la conservation

Pourquoi participer

If you would like to better understand the barriers to Indigenous and community leadership in conservation, and how to overcome them.

Description de la séance

Despite international commitments, progress towards genuine recognition and support for the rights, values and institutions of Indigenous Peoples and local communities in conservation practice and policy is slow. This session seeks to open a frank discussion between conservation actors on the barriers to progress, and on the necessary actions to overcome them. Speakers will present examples of where the walk does not match the talk; as well as examples of genuine power transfer, collaboration and restitution of rights and governance.
