Just Coexistence? Navigating human-elephant interactions and environmental justice in Thailand

Presented by Tyler Nuckols, CWS Instructor, Research & Programs Manager for Bring Home the Elephant (Thailand)

Human-wildlife conflicts are rarely just ecological problems. They are manifestations of deeper inequities in who bears the costs of conservation, whose knowledge counts, and who holds decision-making power. This webinar examines how environmental justice frameworks reveal the structural inequalities embedded in human-wildlife conflicts and offers pathways toward more equitable coexistence strategies. Drawing from ongoing research with farming communities living alongside elephants in Thailand, we explore how environmental justice as a framework, methodology, and analysis tool can shift conflict mitigation from top-down management to community-led solutions that balance ecological integrity with social equity.
