Hidden costs and gender issues in reintroductions and translocations of wildlife: a case study from India

 

Dear colleagues

 

Thank you for attending our latest online discussion on the 12^th of May.  Dr Manral and Dra Doubleday took us on a challenging journey through their research and experiences working in conservation projects in India.  It was a lively and stimulating discussion that inspired a new understanding of diverse gendered roles in human-wildlife interactions, how these affect the success of conservation translocations, and opens new pathways to the development of gender sensitive research and practice.  We are very thankful to both our leads for their enthralling insights…  If you missed it, or would like to see it again, here is the link for the recording:

Dear Adriana. carolos, Sian, and others.

Greeting from Holland.

I watched the webinar with great interest and was happy to see the intensity on Adrias' and Carlos' faces as you listened to the speakers.

the topic and findings were gripping and i enjoyed it very much too. At some point i am happy to share how we in our landscape restoration project in India are addressing this particular gender issue.

In our landscape restoration work we have taken a holistic approach, that included aspects beyond habitat and species restoration and involved linking ecology-economy-people and hope. very interdisciplinary. Here conservation and development are interlinked with a focus on human-well beings and nature restoration. The project is a multi-partner, multi-stakeholder endeavour. So are reintroductions.

Thanks once again.

Regards,

Shekhar

Dear Shekhar

 

This is great to hear, I am glad you were able to watch the event.  Feedback has been great, it really gripped the audience!

Do keep us updated about the progress of the Landscape Restoration project, as it has a lot of alignment with interesting issues for conservation translocations.

 

Very best wishes

 

Adriana
