The Dual Crisis of Conservation:
Biodiversit
y Decline and Conservation’s Dispossessions
Biodiversity conserv ation is experiencing a dual crisis: the crisis of biodiversity decline cou pled with the crisis of dispossession caused by efforts to protect and cons erve nature.
Each of these trends has emerged as a defining feature o f conservation biology and political ecology respectively\, two disciplines that often stand in tension with one another.
In this presentation\, I pull this crisis apart\, showing how each field understands and mobilize s the concept of crisis and how the tension between the two informs content ious disagreements around contemporary biodiversity governance. This includ es the Convention for Biological Diversity’s (CBD) post-2020 global biodive rsity agenda. I show how confronting this dual crisis of conservation requi res integrating insights of both perspectives along with recognizing causal relations between displacement and ecological decline.
Building from here\, I suggest we can begin to chart out more ecologically sustainable a nd socially just paths for moving forward in terms of both scholarly debate and conservation practice.
This in-person event takes place on t he traditional\, ancestral and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, who have lived on this l and since time immemorial.
This event will take place both in pe rson and on Zoom\, on Tuesday 25th October from 12:30 - 1:45pm Paci fic.
