Just Nature?

Wild species are disappearing at accelerating pace - unless all people learn to take care of the living planet. Similar to the struggle for climate justice the movement to protect the living world can't succeed by green-washing destruction nor by applying neo-colonial solutions that continue to oppress Indigenous people and local communities. The mini-series 'Just Nature?' provides an overview why justice in nature conservation is crucial and how to improve the movement from within. Each episodes consists of two interviews with scholars and activists who share their experience and practical advice for a better way forward.

Just Nature?

Opposing neo-colonial conservation practice

November 07, 2022 • Carola Rackete • Season 1 • Episode 2

In this episode we focus on land grabs and dispossession by the conservation sector in the present day and hear how local people and those from far away confront this injustice.

Our first guest is Yannick Ndoinyo, a Maasai community leader from Tanzania, who is also a conservation biologist. He speaks about the current threat of land dispossession in the areas of Loliondo and Ngorongoro which affects 150.000 Maasai.

Next, we will learn how a group of young people based in the UK built a solidarity campaign from afar to support Indigenous communities against land grabs and human rights abuses, particularly by WWF. This interview will focus on building trust and creating a strong solidarity campaign.
