In Namibia, Damara pastoralists share the environment with many beings including elephants, tricksters, and winds. While importance of other-than-human subjectivity is well established, its methodological, epistemological, ontological challenges are less settled. To address them, we combine expertise from anthropology philosophy to ask how this world becomes what it is, using Edith Steins's notion empathy (Einfühlung) as a theoretical guide. This allows us show people use understand different 'others' experience world. We identify basis for in 'pre-reflective other-awareness', which amounts implicit bodily awareness other's presence, influence on situation oneself. At same time, differs, only those other-than-humans whom fully empathise add perspectives that build an intersubjective reality any other-perspectives would not exist.

Insights on human−wildlife coexistence from social science and Indigenous and traditional knowledge

Abstract Much work on human−wildlife conflict focuses safeguarding wildlife from humans and vice versa, protecting humans, their crops, livestock, property wildlife, mitigating negative, sometimes lethal encounters. The emphasis is conflict, a framing that reinforces human−nature dualisms instills the notion of wild animals as adversaries. Although interactions are they can also be neutral, coadaptive, mutually beneficial. They demonstrate coexistence. Conservationists have tended to overlook or simplify such relations. either failed define coexistence characterized it outcome externally driven conservation strategies. Conflict has been perceived norm, with distant ideal. This way seeing ignores many ways people coexisted coadapted in multispecies landscapes for generations.
