Decolonizing Conservation: Living in Harmony with Nature

In her lecture, “Decolonizing Conservation: Living in Harmony with Nature”, McGregor discusses the pivotal roles Indigenous peoples play in the decolonization process and reconciliation process in guiding conservation science toward a harmonious coexistence with nature. Throughout her lecture, McGregor will be drawing upon an Anishinabek theoretical foundation to offer a distinctive perspective on planetary well-being.
