Hello,
Could you please circulate the below email to YETI subscribers?
The Coexistence Consortium will have its second online monthly seminar on
13 April (Thursday) at 5:00 pm by Asmita Kabra. She will talk about how
coexistence is being threatened in the Kuno forests of Central India.
More about the talk:
The forested landscapes of central India are home to many adivasi
communities, each with their own traditional systems of habitat management.
In this seminar, Asmita Kabra describes the Sahariya Adivasi community's
indigenous tree tenure system, that has withstood more than a century of
colonial and postcolonial impulses of territorialisation by the state. She
will then discuss how this system is crumbling under the onslaught of a
more pernicious form of fortress conservation which is currently playing
out in these forests, resulting in dispossession and loss for the community
About Asmita:
Asmita is a professor at the School of Human Ecology, Ambedkar University
Delhi. She works at the interface of critical development studies and
political ecology, studying themes like conservation and rural livelihoods,
forced displacement, social impact assessment, agrarian change and rural
education. She is also the founder of Samrakshan Trust
<http://samrakshan.org/?page_id=18> and Adharshila
<https://adharshila.org.in> that work for sustainable and dignified
livelihoods and education in the dry-land forested areas in the Chambal
region of Central India.
About the Coexistence Consortium:
We are a network of conservation researchers and practitioners with a
common vision to understand coexistence between people and wildlife. We
also want to highlight that it is not only important to conserve wild
animals locked away in far-off pockets in forests, but also to coexist with
nature and wildlife around us. The long-term vision of this collective is
to use an experimental and evidence-based approach to catalyse a range of
context-specific human-wildlife coexistence projects around the world.
The talk will be conducted on Zoom, you can register for it here -

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you there!

Nicole Pinto.
