[not my usual ‘sort of thing’ to post - as broad as that is - but I found this fascinating; it reminds me, in a sense, of the Incas incrementally selecting corn stock that can handle higher and higher altitudes, in ‘research stations’, although those were a domesticated crop]

📖 In a paper published in the Journal of Ethnobiology, Marta Macedo examines "how cannabis was part and parcel of the lives of peoples from Angola recruited to São Tomé and, consequently, of the island's plantation worlds in the late nineteenth century." 🇸🇹

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."

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.

Is anyone else here at #IMISCOE ? I just gave a presentation in a wonderful panel on food, sustainability, and migration organised by Elena Mescoli.

In #ethnobiology we use walking together with experts as a hybrid interview/mapping #researchMethod --- this is a lovely example of a similar embodied collaboration being used as environmental #countermapping in an urban area in Switzerland.
