India’s colonial conservation uproots Indigenous communities who've coexisted with wildlife for generations, turning forests into constructed ‘wild’ tourist spectacles for profit.

The Wolves is out! First part of Belonging in Nature, an album accompanying my socsci PhD on wolf conservation. The lyrics draw on my fieldwork and examine how wolves can be seen as intentional agents, transgressing boundaries between humans and nature.

A good explainer on why commodifying conservation to sell to rich white folks is actually not helpful-instead we need @convivconserv

[Convivial Conservation @convivconserv]

@AmyDickman4 We agree there shouldnt be this false dichotomy, but under an endless growth machine like capitalism, it becomes an unworkable , and ultimate a massive crisis like the one we are now facing. Hence, we need radically different visions, not just tweaking in margins.

[Convivial Conservation @convivconserv]

@AmyDickman4 Not really - this is an inherent tension that needs to be embraced rather than avoided. A political economic system that understands that local decisions are part of a global commons can have both. Not without conflicts or issues, but certainly a much better than under capitalism

[Convivial Conservation @convivconserv]

@AmyDickman4 Money is not the same as commodification - we can deal with money and income very differently than we are doing currently. A conservation basic income can be a good step in this direction - as Convivial Conservation also proposes.

Southern Africa is seen as a leader in wildlife conservation, but its market-driven approach is deeply flawed

Buscher's conceptualisation of 'convivial conservation' served as an important source of inspiration in my research as a conservation psychology researcher. This book delves into the urgent need for conservation practice to undergo a revolution to be truly sustainable for all 1/2
