Connected Conservation

The paper introduces 'Connected Conservation', a dual-branched model designed to address the biodiversity crisis by tackling distant wealth-related drivers of biodiversity loss while simultaneously empowering local biodiversity stewards.

• The authors argue that traditional site-level conservation interventions, which often include poverty-alleviation or alternative-livelihood components, are insufficient because they cannot address the disproportionate impact of distant wealth on biodiversity collapse and may overlook local communities as central to the solutions.
• The proposed 'Connected Conservation' model is a dual-branched approach that aims to diminish three dominant negative flows originating in centres of wealth that undermine biodiversity, while amplifying three marginalized positive flows found within biocultural centres, placing justice at the center of the process.
• To achieve transformative change and address the telecoupled reality of biodiversity collapse, the Connected Conservation approach advocates for the application of replicable actions and the extension of collaborations across different sectors.
