EP 50: Incorporating Social Sciences into Conservation

Breaking Green Ceilings

Why is modern conservation failing? And what can we do to improve its effectiveness?

As a social research consultant, Leander Lacy notes that traditional approaches are fragmented, not adequately considering the social dimensions of environmental issues. His transformative solutions— rooted in empiricism and critical Human-Nature connectedness, help conservation groups and eco-minded businesses achieve optimal outcomes from conservation action: business growth, stronger community relationships, stakeholder engagement, and increased JEDI (justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion).

In this episode we talk about:

1. On the “selfless” nature of Environmental Preservation
2. On applying Social Science perspectives to address topics in Conservation
3. On integrating Human Dimensions to promote sustainability in conservation
