Conservation needs a revolution. This is the only way it can contribute to the drastic transformations needed to come to a truly sustainable model of development. The good news is that conservation is ready for revolution. Heated debates about the rise of the Anthropocene and the current ‘sixth extinction’ crisis demonstrate an urgent need and desire to move beyond mainstream approaches. Yet the conservation community is deeply divided over where to go from here.
In this video Bram Büscher explains some of the ideas proposed in his new book (co-authored with Robert Fletcher), The Conservation Revolution: Radical Ideas for Saving Nature Beyond the Anthropocene.
They argue that the Anthropocene challenge demands something bigger, better and bolder than what is currently put forward. Something truly revolutionary. A post-capitalist manifesto for conservation.
