Conflict and Collaboration in Conservation

Conflict and Collaboration in conservation: Two perspectives for addressing today's conservation challenges. Contemporary natural resource conservation often includes stakeholders with conflicting views on how and why resources are managed. Join us for a seminar that examines two approaches to engaging diverse stakeholders. Robin Reid, Director of CSU’s Center for Collaborative Conservation and Professor in CSU’s Dept of Ecosystem Science and Sustainability will talk about the global movement to collaborate in conservation, one watershed and seascape at a time. She will present models on how to bring diverse stakeholders together, jointly define problems and co-learn ways to create new solutions, using case studies from the US and Africa. This will include ways to design science so it is useful and used in practice, and ways to bring practice into science. Robin will also cover ways to integrate different knowledge sources in this co-production process with diverse stakeholders. She will end with suggestions on how to strengthen this movement, to build a better common future. Francine Madden, Executive Director of the Human-Wildlife Conflict Collaboration will share two analytical models that examine the deep-rooted sources of social conflict that often impede conservation efforts. Conservation conflicts often serve as proxies for more elusive underlying social conflicts, including struggles for group recognition, respect, meaningful participation, and identity. Too often, the science is rejected and otherwise sound decisions may be undermined because the process to make or enforce those decisions disregards the complexities and depth of social conflict within those contexts, as well as what is needed to build trust in relationships. Francine will share best practices in conservation conflict transformation (CCT) using three case studies that demonstrate how conflict can be transformed so as to increase social receptivity and shared commitment to conservation efforts.
