Pourquoi participer
From species restoration to landmark rights agreements, conservation is evolving beyond protection to embrace justice, authority, and sustainability. This session explores how bold ecological gains can be matched with community rights and knowledge systems, ensuring that conservation outcomes are not only successful but also legitimate and durable.
Description de la séance
This session brings together three case studies that capture the future of human-centred conservation. In Kazakhstan, the recovery of the saiga antelope—the world’s most numerous migrating ungulate—shows what large-scale restoration can achieve, while raising questions about transitions from strict protection to sustainable use. In South Africa, a landmark benefit-sharing agreement over Rooibos highlights how Indigenous rights and traditional knowledge can reshape global markets. In Oregon, the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs demonstrate how blending traditional ecological knowledge with contemporary science creates stronger, more resilient wildlife management systems. Together, these stories highlight pathways for conservation that respect rights, foster innovation, and secure both people and biodiversity.Organised by
