Inclusive conservation and the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework: Tensions and prospects

The draft Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework commits to achievement of equity and justice outcomes represents a “relational turn” in how we understand inclusive conservation. Although “inclusivity” is drawn on as means engage diverse stakeholders, widening the framing inclusivity can create new tensions with regard manage protected areas. We first offer set that emerge light relational turn biodiversity Drawing global case examples applying multiple methods conservation, then demonstrate that, by actively engaging interdependent phases recognizing hybridity, enabling conditions for reflexivity partnership building, not only be acknowledged but softened and, some cases, reframed when managing biodiversity, equity, goals. results improve stakeholder engagement area management, ultimately supporting better implementation targets. To achieve United Nations Sustainable Development Goals well 2050 vision Convention Biological Diversity ensure conserved restored (and valued), area-based conservation will diversify 21st century deliver increased coverage across different elements also equitable governance outcomes.1Maxwell S.L.
