Episode Synopsis

pecial Episode — Recorded live at the Oppenheimer Research Conference 2025.
How do we build conservation models that work for both people and nature?
In this eye-opening conversation, Lessah Mandoloma (Oxford) and Katie Mackenzie (Jamma Conservation & Communities) unpack the principles of human-centred conservation—a framework that challenges siloed thinking, brings communities into decision-making, and addresses the real trade-offs that shape conservation outcomes.
They explore:
• Why conservation must start with honest conversations about power, rights, and benefits
• How to break silos between health, climate, food systems and biodiversity
• Why communities must be treated as partners, not passive beneficiaries
• The importance of co-defining goals and returning research findings to communities
A hopeful and practical roadmap for conservation that recognises humanity as part of nature—not outside of it.
