At American Bird Conservancy, we celebrate the diversity of birds and the diversity of all who cherish and conserve birds. We intend to carry out our conservation work in increasingly ethical ways, investing where the needs of birds and people intersect. The Afrofuturism Collective, co-funded by Re:Wild, emerged in this context to explore how stories, technologies, lifeways, and histories of the African diaspora can influence bird and habitat conservation.
In this webinar, members of the Afrofuturism Collective engaged in a dynamic conversation about their projects and their vision for biodiversity conservation.
Panelists:
- Binta Dixon – Afrofuturism Collective Coordinator; Health and Well-being Coah
- Dr. Mel Michelle Lewis - Executive Curator, Root to Flourish Collective
- Mykah Scott – Outreach and Client Specialist, Blue Mahoe Law; Correspondent, Planet Forward
- Harrison Watson – Ecologist, PHD Candidate, Princeton University
