SPOTLIGHT FEATURE

Conservation Nation

The creation of Conservation Nation was borne out of research through which it became clear that there was a critical, unfilled niche in the conservation space for an organization to employ a combination of funding and education expertise to save wildlife by lifting barriers to create a stronger, more diverse, and more inclusive community of wildlife champions.

The conservation movement, from it’s very beginning, has relied on a Eurocentric, paternalistic, and capitalistic worldview that posits that the way to ‘fix’ mankind’s poor stewardship, is with an ill-fated approach of using the same tools for repair as had used in the degradation and destruction of the natural world.  What we need is a ‘new’ way at looking at conservation – and that ‘new’ is actually what Green 2.0 is built to take on – bringing voices of the ‘other’, the old wisdom - embedded in the worldviews of other people and other cultures.
