Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

142: Poverty-Biodiversity Loss Association and Connected Conservation
Q: How can conservation programs be more equitable and effective?
By expanding impact metrics to include multidimensional well-being, rights-based approaches, supporting biocultural centers, and fostering diverse coalitions that include Indigenous and local communities alongside other stakeholders.
142: Poverty-Biodiversity Loss Association and Connected Conservation
Q: What are the main drivers of biodiversity loss beyond poverty, according to your work?
We argue wealth, inequitable political economy, and the patterns of global consumption—especially by centers of wealth and the capitalist development model—are major drivers, with poverty framed as a symptom rather than the root cause.
142: Poverty-Biodiversity Loss Association and Connected Conservation
Q: What does connected conservation mean, and how is it different from conventional conservation?
Connected conservation is more political and critical than traditional approaches; it expands beyond site-level interventions and explicitly considers the actions of wealthier actors and the broader governance structures driving biodiversity loss.
141: Poaching, Policy, and Participation: The Fight to Govern Wildlife Trade with Duan Biggs
Q: Where do you see the balance between ecology and social science in your work today?
He emphasizes an interface between conservation application, innovation, and thought leadership, striving to tie on-the-ground constraints to policy and science in a way that benefits local communities.
141: Poaching, Policy, and Participation: The Fight to Govern Wildlife Trade with Duan Biggs
Q: Can you talk to me about your path to your identity as a conservation scientist?
Biggs describes growing up around wildlife and his eventual shift toward an economics-informed conservation approach, blending field application with policy influence to drive real-world impacts.
