Loving having these and other POLLEN folks here in Durban for #POLLEN23. @Anthropogo @GeoFrancisMasse @LibbyLunstrum @jaredmargulies @nathan_oxley @EstherMarijnen @PolEcoNet @POLLENCon2023

[POLLENCon2023 @POLLENCon2023]

Welcome to #POLLEN23! This year, the conference is in South Africa, thanks to the generous hosting of @UKZN. Looking forward to 3 days of discussions, events and exhibitions on all things #politicalecology

It was great to be interviewed by the Center for Law, Energy & the Environment at Berkeley about my project examining SMART conservation in Belize. @DIGHR_YorkU @YoungLivesYORKU

Fresh off the press 🔆

Youth4nature’s 2022 impact report is out and is a powerful reminder of the vital role that young people play in driving the global climate and nature movements.

Happy reading! 📚

📰 As promised, here is the longer essay by @brambuscher & myself on @UndiEnvi examining whether we should continue with global conventions like @UNFCCC & @UNBiodiversity, given that we still face multiple & overlapping planetary crises.
We argue....

Biodiversity treaty #COP15: UN deal fails to address the root causes of nature’s destruction

Opinion piece with @biosec_erc on why we need something more radical, sustainable and realistic going forward than #30x30!

[Bram Büscher @brambuscher]

#30x30 #FortressConservation deal struck against wishes of African states

Typical of the type of mainstream conservation that has done little to avoid #6thExtinction crisis

We need something radically different!

[Land Needs Guardians @land_guardians]

“Land guardians can help the land heal & the land can help guardians heal.” Guardians programs are a proven model for #stewardship that benefits the communities & the land. Great read on how this is being recognized from coast to coast. @s_guilbeault https://t.co/ZwrnmzujuS

A report 6 centuries too late. Total societies did already collapse and whole ecosystems were destroyed.

Gardens were replaced by plantations, communities by labor camps.

The apocalypse isn’t some unsavory future, for most of the world, its the ongoing past #colonial

Three rivers are now legally people – but that's just the start of looking after them https://t.co/5YcdJkswJd

[James Stinson @DrJamesStinson]

Great to see our youth-focussed #planetaryhealth work through @YoungLivesYORKU and @DIGHR_YorkU profiled by @YUResearch.

[York U Research & Innovation @YUResearch]

Today’s youth will face some of the world’s most pressing challenges, including the #climatecrisis and inequality. Preparing youth with the tools and skills to navigate complex issues is a key driver behind Prof Kate Tilleczek's research. https://t.co/lK4gBsfFBI | #YUResearch

[James Stinson @DrJamesStinson]

Great opportunity for PhD/early career researchers in political ecology/human-environment relations.

The original "environmentalists". This #EarthDay let's give thanks to Indigenous Peoples across the planet who are fighting to protect traditional lands and waters from the ravages of extractive capitalism - for the benefit of everyone #Nature #ClimateAction #CleanAir #Water

[RRI - Rights and Resources Initiative @RightsResources]

There is no Planet B. Indigenous and community-led conservation is scientifically proven to be a viable and just #climate solution. 🌾🌻🌽🍓🏔👩🏾

To #InvestInOurPlanet, invest in the world's leading stewards of biodiversity and conservation. #EarthDay

How are data practices and digitisation shaping ecosystem management related to 'nature-based solutions'?

[Kundan Kumar @kundan_kumarkun]

IPCC finally names colonialism as a major cause of Climate change. However, the neo-colonialism of proposed market linked nature based solutions for climate mitigation still remain largely unnamed, though they build on and amplify colonial relationships.
