In this article, I note a shift from market-based conservation through the state to a service-based approach by private industry that promise to #save globally valued species, like #cheetahs 🐆 #politicalecology #humangeography #geography #conservation #saveingspecies #academicbluesky

I want to share my article where I discuss the #conservationcapitalistclass & how #cheetah #conservation #NGOs, as part of this class, are institutions of global academic, economic, & social power in conservation #politicalecology #humangeography #geography journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Fascinating new #OpenAccess article that “argues that factors in conservation and agrarian landscapes squeeze farmers, enabling land acquisition for conservation” #politicalecology #elephant #conservation #agroecology #geography #elephantcorridors 🐘 rb.gy/vipa5y

BREAKING: @indivisible.org calls on Senator Schumer to step down as minority leader after voting in favor of GOP funding bill. “Our democracy is in danger. The path ahead will be hard. Indivisibles are ready to do the work - it’s time for a Senate Democratic Leader who is too.” Full statement:

How we get #info about #conservation matters, especially with #postruth, #misinformation & #fakenews #online. My person wrote how #NGOs can construct narratives & shape #wildlifeconservation around their own agenda & why this matters #voluntourism #geopolitics www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Thousands out in NYC today to demand that DOGE… STOP THE CUTS!

Important article about #misinformation, #science #communication, & #voluntourism in #wildife #conservation & #NGOs

Happy Sunday!!! #sundayfunday #weekendvibes #dogsofbluesky #puppiesofbluesky #dog #shenanigans

"... cheetah... NGOs... confuse raising money... with effective action. Framing extinction as... can be solved by global audiences... reinforces economic... & power asymmetries in conservation." Yup, I'd say beware ALL extinction predictions inc people/"civilisation" &c. They're about money.

Hi, I’m God. Your reality is in a Groundhog Day loop of misery until you all decide to embrace a revolutionary progressive form of politics. Lmk

I might be a #puppy but I still like to support #cats & #conservation and sometimes that means looking critically at how we talk about #extinction 🐾 #dogsofbluesky #puppiesofbluesky #dogs #bigcats #cheetahs www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
