Episode 4: Culture and Conservation
Episode 4: Culture and Conservation We hope you’ll Tune into the latest episode of ANAW-USA’s One Health Conversation Series, featuring Dr Richard Reading and Kahindi Lekalhaile as we bring their unique perspectives together to consider the important interplay between culture and conservation. In this conversation we explore a range of topics, including but not limited to: why the relationship between culture and conservation matters to efforts to promote human-animal-environment well-being; contrasts between Kenyan and US/Western cultural relationships to the environment and other animals; the challenge of maintaining respect and a moral consideration for other animals throughout the acculturation process from youth to adulthood; the importance of context and culturally-specific conservation interventions; tensions between the immediate economic incentives driving cultural attitudes towards conservation and the long-term planning required to safeguard ecological systems and natural resources; and some words of wisdom on the urgent need to reprioritize and reaffirm our interrelationships with other animals, from insects to mammals, sea creatures to large carnivores, whether in our backyards or in African Savannas. Our intention with this conversation series is to create an exchange and dialogue between African and Western perspectives on a wide-range of issues and topics pertaining to One Health, conservation, and animal welfare theory and practice in a way that's accessible to a diverse and international audience. We hope that you'll come away from these conversations with a deeper understanding of the importance of the relationships among humans, other animals, and the environment - the world over.
