Inclusive conservation—one that recognizes and supports the rights, needs, visions, voices, and leadership of local populations and communities in protecting and managing nature—is key to achieving positive outcomes for both biodiversity and people. In fact, those working towards global conservation goals widely recognize the need to embrace inclusive conservation. In recent years, conservation organizations have made concerted efforts to promote equitable governance, opt for human rights-based approaches, and encourage conservation led by indigenous peoples and local communities. This work requires integrating the perspectives of different communities, cultural values, knowledge systems and local approaches to conservation. Even with these efforts, there remain significant gaps in knowledge and capacity on how to advance inclusive conservation. Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this series of seminars will help the broader conservation community advance their inclusive conservation efforts and bring scientific knowledge to policy and practice. Topics such as human rights, gender, human well-being, governance, Indigenous-led conservation, culture and inclusive conservation science will be discussed.
