Whether you're a student, researcher, or wildlife enthusiast, this webinar will help you rethink how people and animals can share space on a crowded planet.
An explorer and an aspirant biodiversity conservation researcher. I seek to delve deeper into the study of the human-nature nexus and strive to foster more harmonious coexistence. I have gained brief experience in wildlife conservation at the Creative Conservation Alliance, working with Western Hoolock Gibbons and a few other wild animals. I am also working as an Associate Trainer at Mekateam, a game-based pedagogy where I provide training on basic climate literacy and biodiversity conservation to youth. Moreover, I synthesize and express my understanding of biodiversity and the natural world through my initiative, 'Toru.' Currently, I am undertaking research on Asian Elephants addressing the human-elephant conflict in Bangladesh.

๐ This looks like an incredibly timely and important conversation. Thank you for spotlighting the complexities of Human-Wildlife Conflict and the need for coexistence strategies. As someone passionate about community-led conservation and human-wildlife coexistence, Iโm especially keen to hear Dr. Sugoto Royโs insights on conflict-sensitive development and inclusive planning.
Iโm curious, will the webinar touch on how traditional ecological knowledge and grassroots innovations are being integrated into HWC solutions? These approaches often hold powerful lessons for long-term resilience and equity.
Looking forward to joining and learning alongside others committed to reimagining how we share space with wildlife on a rapidly changing planet. ๐ฟ
I am not in the organizing team for this webinar, so I can't really tell whether traditional ecological knowledge will be a key part of this. However, I am sure this will be mentioned because it is critical for long-term planning.ย
@Rifa Nanziba is one of the organizers. Apu, maybe you can share if the webinar will touch on traditional ecological knowledge.ย
