Conservation is critical for the future of all life on planet Earth, yet it comes with its own set of concerns. In the recent past, conservation has been entwined with colonialism, leading to the displacement of people from the very lands they care for. In this episode, Elsa talks with the researcher, peacebuilder, conservationist, NGO founder, and thermal drone pilot, Mirali Shukla about bio-cultural conservation, which focuses on the preservation of both human and non-human communities. Come learn more about aligning conservation with an ethic of peacebuilding.
