Why attend
How might your conservation actions be impacted by the movement of people and other species on the move? Find out how the conservation sector can be better prepared and resourced to address unexpected or developing migration events.
Session Description
Environmental change, migration, and conservation are at a key intersection point, this session looks at their emerging interconnections and how we might rethink conservation action as a result. As climate disruptions, resource degradation, and conflict increasingly drive people and other species to move, conservation strategies must consider inclusive, adaptive, and justice-based approaches in conflict-sensitive ways. Through dialogue among experts, and practitioners, the session will examine how governance models, protected area management, and policy frameworks can evolve to address the needs and rights of displaced and mobile populations, while planning for broader potential species movement. Emphasis will be placed on the role of local communities, Indigenous Peoples and youth in shaping solutions that are both ecologically sound and socially equitable, and the need to integrate human and other species migrations in conservation planning, policy and adaptive management.Partners
