ENV Seminar Series: November 13 | 12 - 2 pm | "In case it was not clear already: we need a conservation revolution! A call and proposal for a convivial alternative" with Bram Büscher. As the warnings and discourses become stronger and more explicit, we see actors scrambling to come to terms with this new reality and asking how to move forward. With respect to the global biodiversity crisis, this is well reflected in the conservation community. Indeed, over the last years we have seen the rise of several radical proposals for reforming conservation, culminating in the Kunming-Montreal ‘30x30’ biodiversity framework. In this presentation, Bram Büscher reflects on and evaluates these conservation proposals and the Kunming-Montreal framework. He argues that while they hold some seeds for radical change they are far from sufficient. Building on these reflections, he proposes an alternative vision under the banner of ‘convivial conservation’. Register: buff.ly/4fc2d5o
