Why attend

Join us for an inclusive conversation about how the centring of indigenous voices is key to effective conservation storytelling.

Session Description

Through practical case studies and inputs from practitioners working in the USA, Canada, UK and Uganda we'll explore some of the themes and perspectives that enable organisations charged with engaging the public with conservation to ensure they do so in a way that respects and centres indigenous voices.
