Why attend
Discover how different causes of wildlife mortality — from natural events to human interventions — affect animal welfare, and why perspectives matter in shaping conservation. This session presents cutting-edge research on ethical decision-making and inclusive, human-centred strategies, offering essential insights for fair, effective, and evidence-based wildlife management and community engagement.
Session Description
Conservation is not just about protecting species — it is about navigating ethical questions and diverse perspectives on how humans and wildlife share space. This session features two thought-provoking talks that challenge conventional thinking. Professor Amy Dickman presents pioneering research in “Not All Deaths Are Equal: Comparing Welfare Impacts on Wildlife Across Different Causes of Death,” laying the groundwork for an ethical framework to guide more humane, evidence-based decision-making in conservation. Yolanda Mutinhima follows with “Whose Values Count? Aligning Global Goals with Local Realities,” which explores whether conservation conflicts stem more from geography or worldview. By comparing priorities between “local publics” living alongside wildlife and “distant publics” in lower-biodiversity regions, her research highlights the need to align international agendas with local realities. Together, these talks invite participants to reflect on fairness, welfare, and inclusivity — essential ingredients for building coexistence models that respect both people and wildlife.Organised by
