Well intentioned, but tone-deaf, or just completely unaware of conservation biology outside the USA and all modern ethnobiology?

"It's important that we work with communities to understand what their needs are—and then build a better partnership," Carlen said. "We can't just show residents the app and tell them that they need to use it, because that ignores the underlying problem that our society is still segregated and not everyone has the resources to participate."
https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pan3.10592

This paper seems to overlook that ignoring affluent White urban/global Northern conservation projects can be an act of resistance. It's not just about "not having the resources"; it's about choosing what matters, about having the power to choose one's conversation partners and whether or not to share knowledge.

In #ethnobiology, scientists who happen to be from dominant communities actively work to overcome oppression by listening first, acknowledging anger, awaiting permission to collaborate (which may never come!), co-designing research, and breaking up privilege in their own institutions. We've been in this struggle for decades. Organisations like the #ICCA are led by local/Indigenous community stewards of biodiversity. #IPBES and #GEF worked all this out, even if there are still a few bumps.

I'm actually really glad for this surprise ❄️ #Sneachta ❄️ day.

Some comments are putting #MetEireann on the defensive, but I really enjoy the reminder that we do not control everything. We don't know everything. There is room for unpredictability.

Sure, it can be a little scary, but it's a good exercise to get out of our collective comfort zone. The #ICCA says #ClimateChange is here; plan for more bumps on the road.

The #ICCA report https://bit.ly/492AXTV published by the EPA last week highlighted the importance of restoring Wetlands, in order to achieve Ireland's climate goals.

It is worth celebrating the benefits these habitats provide on World Wetlands Day.

Wait, the #ICCA evaluation form already closed? 😢

The next IPRA will be in Brisbane, Australia! The place where I just went to #ICCA two weeks ago

@dingemansemark One of the most interesting talks at #ICCA a couple of weeks ago was by Christiane Even, about how German speakers schedule appointments using Siri; she came to a very similar conclusion regarding progressivity (or the lack of it).

Glad to see that there is other work applying CA to human-computer interaction! If only such work were more visible to people working on language models….
