Hi everyone,
It is a pleasure to invite you all for the first of the webinar series that
ERA is hosting from this year.
For the first talk we have *Nandini Velho and Nishant Saldanha* sharing
with us the behind the scenes of *Amche Mollem. *Along with restoration, we
need to ensure that we are protecting our current landscapes and ecologies.
But how does one engage with people to start protecting their natural
heritage? How do movements structure themselves and work towards a common
objective? How do we build trust and ownership within an informal setup?
You can register for this talk by filling this form

Zoom links will be shared with the participants 3 days before the event.

More about the talk:
*Date:* 31st January 2023
*Time:* 4:00- 5:00 pm | *Venue:* Zoom | Youtube Live
*Citizenship and campaigns to restore alliances for conservation*
The Amche Mollem citizen’s movement, since 2020 has been driven by citizen
action, positioning science and art alongside legal strategies in an effort
to safeguard Goa’s irreplaceable biodiversity. The movement focuses on the
need to protect the integrity of the 150 million year old Western Ghats
from destruction related to three destructive infrastructure projects - a
high tension transmission line, the doubling of a railway track, and a
highway expansion which will further fragment this ecologically vulnerable
region. In this talk, we will share how Goans, scientists, artists, lawyers
and other citizens have built an extensive body of work breaking down and
sharing complex scientific research, legal concepts, and explaining systems
of governance to create space for inclusion. We will share some of the positive
reinforcements of citizen participation apart from the legal outcomes; and
the way in which we have created spaces for citizens to express their
relationship
to the natural world.
*Speakers: *
*Nandini Velho *works on the human-dimension of wildlife management as well
as understanding rainforest dynamics in tropical forests. She works closely
with citizens, local forest managers, policy makers and is engaged with
on-ground outreach activities, including healthcare and logistical support
of front-line forest staff, conservation education, citizenship efforts and
writing in the popular medium.
*Nishant Saldanha* is an animation film-maker, independent comics artist
known for his character Mr. Good Guy and one of the Amche Mollem Art
Directors. His work was featured in the Best American Comics in 2019. He is
passionate about photography, Goa and Bob Dylan.
Do join us for the webinar series.
Cheers from ERA
