OneNature Executive Director Beth Allgood recently had an article published in The Himalayan, a journal of the Eastern Himalayan Naturenomics™ Forum. The Himalayan was created in 1929 to carry expedition reports and articles about the Himalayas. Beth is honored to have an article included in this year’s journal.
The article, “What is a community well-being approach to conservation and why is it so important?”, found on page 5, is about OneNature’s belief that without truly understanding and supporting community well-being, conservation efforts will continue to fall short of their goals of halting the extinction crisis, ensuring environmental sustainability, promoting social justice, and fostering human flourishing in communities responsible for protecting the world’s remaining wildlife and wild places. Beth goes on to discuss the importance of nature and wildlife to human thriving as well as the importance of linking community values and conservation success. Beth continues on to make her recommendations: the adoption of a new, comprehensive approach to community conservation centered on community values and perceptions.
