Listen "#59 The Thing About Indigenous Science"
Episode Synopsis
Dive into a thought-provoking conversation with one of the Coexistence Fellowship pairs - Mahesha & Vinay - in our very first episode of Season 6, where we discuss the importance of viewing the world through multiple ways of knowing, redefine what we mean by 'science' and look closer at community-held knowledge and indigenous practices in wildlife management and conservation!This season, we are in conversation with the Coexistence Fellowship - a transformative programme that empowers pairs of fellows, including local community members, to collaboratively develop culturally grounded, equitable conservation practices focused on human-wildlife coexistence across India. It aims to shift conservation paradigms by centering community knowledge, fostering mutual learning, and building a movement of conservation practitioners rooted in empathy, reciprocity, and shared stewardship. The Coexistence Fellowship thanks the University of Trans-Disciplinary Health Sciences and Technology (TDU) for creating a home for the Coexistence Fellowship Programme, and the British Asian Trust and Elephant Family for their generous support, also to the Coexistence Consortium for their guidance as their knowledge partner.
