Mapping Geonarratives of Biodiversity Conservation Through the Diaspora

Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development

Is there such a thing as transnational biodiversity conservation where migrants are still concerned with environmental causes in their country of origin?

One of the untapped resources for advancing biodiversity conservation and enriching its discourse for inclusivity and decolonization are members of the diaspora. Some biodiversity scientists from the Global South are now based in the Global North, with some of them still connected to their home country by conducting research there. But apart from these experts, how do common migrants connect (or disconnect) with ecologies of their home countries?

This workshop will engage participants from the diaspora in co-creating a countermap of global biodiversity science efforts, pinning down the situatedness of diaspora stories, and foregrounding the intersections, movements, tensions, and stories in which “becoming-diaspora in conservation” takes place.

The ZooMap project funded by the Volkswagen Foundation at the Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development (HNEE) is inviting you to our Berlin Science Week Invited Programme Event!

The event is fully booked, feel free to stop by 10 minutes before it starts. We will reallocate any no-show tickets.
