Hey Molly! Great to see your name pop up in my inbox. I was unaware of this, but I did a quick search and it does seem like there is a reason for it. This organization advocates for the term "rights and title holders" instead of "stakeholders." Thanks for bringing this topic up and I hope this information is useful! It's these kinds of conversations among non-affected parties that can really enhance allyship and ultimately conservation objectives that benefit all sides.

I'd love to work on this with you, Rebecca! I'm very interested human-wildlife conflict. Most of my knowledge to date is on wolves and Iberian lynx, but be very interested in expanding my understanding.

Thanks!

Great to see a familiar face in this group from Ottawa, no less! I hope you're well.
