The book chapter by Annesha Chowdhury and Soubadra Devy highlights the importance of including a capabilities-oriented approach to achieving SDG 15, given its complex nature. The researchers argue for an inclusive approach that allows for diversity in representation, recognition of people as part of the conservation dialogue, and the recognition of people’s rights through a capabilities-oriented approach as a basic guiding principle. Using Martha Nussbaum and Breena Holland’s philosophical approach, they emphasize the need to not just protect political and environmental entitlements, through a constitutional guarantee, but expand to include an actual implementation roadmap that is inclusive and representative to successfully achieve SDGs. Access the chapter 'Inclusive conservation in forests and agriculture landscape' in the book 'The Capability Approach and the SDGs: Inter, Multi, Trans-Disciplinary Perspectives': https://lnkd.in/gW3c6XNy

My research considers heritage through an ecocentric perspective. I challenge the Global North’s ideas of heritage by privileging above all else the perpetuation of the interconnected web of life. “The Fairy Council of Ireland at the River Boyne: Heritage and Decolonial Climate Imaginaries” is my first article published since starting my PhD. I confront coloniality in the field of heritage, center the animacy and vitality of the River Boyne, and share how activists engage folklore as an ecosystemic care tactic. https://lnkd.in/e_BjK484

Equitable conservation | Human dimensions of conservation | Skilled Facilitation | Cross-cultural Collaboration
A fantastic review paper and additional evidence supporting the critical role IPLC play in conservation outcomes. 'Our analysis of the social and ecological outcomes recorded for those widely differing forms of conservation reveals that local control and recognition of IP & LC institutions are strongly associated with more positive outcomes for people and nature.' #conservation #IPLC #localknowledge #knowledgesystems

Just out! Reviewing the science on 50 years of conservation: Through 662 studies in 102 countries, we identify knowledge production biases and independence issues in conservation science, which are important as they can uphold existing narratives about who should conserve and how, and serve to suppress an otherwise clear link between Indigenous Peoples' and local communities' leadership & conservation success.

What is Indigenous Knowledge and how may we honor it?
Cornell University Professor & Author, "Key to the City: How Zoning Shapes Our World"
Publication Alert: "Indigenous Knowledge as Federal Policy," a work in progress (comments welcome), just posted to SSRN: https://lnkd.in/e-UcQKFt In March, University of Virginia School of Law invited me to participate in a "Land, Climate, Justice" symposium and to write an essay on a topic of my choice. I chose to write about ACHP's Policy Statement on Indigenous Knowledge and Historic Policy because more people should know about the concept of Indigenous Knowledge and should understand how the powers of the federal government may be harnessed to promote, protect, & appropriately incorproate it. The essay details (briefly!) the motivations & content of the 2024 ACHP Indigenous Knowledge policy: https://lnkd.in/eDDXDfix It also discusses how ACHP is implementing the policy, including our consideration of adopting an Exemption from Section 106 for Indigenous Knowledge-Informed Activities by Native Hawaiian Organizations: https://lnkd.in/ei_JQeHw Thank you to UVA and the Virginia Environmental Law Journal - and its fantastic student editors - for providing a forum for this important conversation, and to Andrew Kahrl and Moira O'Neill for hosting the symposium: https://lnkd.in/evQvCNDK
