We highlight the need for ecological justice and ethics to go hand in with social conservation science. focus on importance of ecocentric (non-anthropocentric) worldviews advancing both justice. While acknowledging "decolonize" conservation, we question whether a whole may be justifiably termed "colonial"; noting that colonialism name profit political power has long been main driver human rights abuses biodiversity loss. Moreover, modern science explicitly strives equity while protecting biological diversity thus ought not conflated colonialism's unjust history. suggest efforts portray as patriarchal, racist, colonial are shortsighted, disregarding longstanding by conservationists reconcile values. Such critiques adopt patronizing approach Indigenous local peoples, portraying them idealized guardians. views obscure complex socio-economic conditions leave indigenous communities vulnerable resource exploitation; these factors must understood if groups fulfil their vital role allies. conclude community should shift toward targeting actors economic structures oppress humans non-humans alike. A more nuanced appreciation shared history illuminate how values converge mission sustaining life support system which every non-human being depends.

Capabilities, place, and wellbeing in conservation spaces: An empirical analysis

Environment and Planning E Nature and Space, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Dec. 13, 2024

Using case studies from Namibia and Mozambique, we examine how regulations against hunting impact person–place relationships affect multidimensional wellbeing in conservation spaces. We combine Amartya Sen's capability approach with theories of place, using Chris de Wet's concept disemplacement to investigate the ways efforts rural quality life. find place-making become incompatible if people are prevented adapting lifestyles livelihoods accommodate changing circumstances. By tracing distinct dimensions process, demonstrate adverse compounding effects wildlife associated nature tourism. Disruptions economic physical security destabilize bonds that enhance wellbeing. Material losses hardship accompanied by institutional disruptions contribute marginalization social exclusion. provide a detailed illustration constrain agency growing sense powerlessness decreasing local control over wildlife, which consequently weakens place attachment diminishes Our study demonstrates more multidimensionally impoverished as initiatives change places they value while simultaneously limiting their capabilities maintain attachment.

Jurnal Penelitian Pendidikan IPA, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 9(12), P. 10832 - 10844

Published: Dec. 20, 2023

The Palak Siring Waterfall is a natural tourism object located in Kemumu Village, Armajaya District, North Bengkulu Regency were the area have variety of vegetation. This research aims to analyze Terrestrial Fern Diversity that area. benefits ferns an ecosystem are as one pioneer organisms open and start new life ecosystem, food sources, planting media. method used transect by forming (five) plots based on slope land, consist flat, sloping, rather steep, very steep areas. Plot size 20 x m placed along line. Based survey was found 22 species with 13 types family Waterfall. Index value (pteridophyta) belongs medium category. certainly indicates there fern can adapt environment well other plants potential be applied junior high school science learning through several Basic competencies, materials, forms activities.
