DESCRIPTION:Although conservation interventions are intended to improve ou
 r relations with nature and rarely set out to cause harm to people\, this 
 is not always the case. While there continue to be numerous assessments of
  the negative social impacts of conservation interventions after they have
  been implemented\, there are few frameworks which help to avoid such situ
 ations.\n\nI will begin this presentation by sharing some well-documented 
 cases of harm caused by conservation interventions. Secondly\, I will sugg
 est that conservation interventions should thoroughly examine potential ha
 rms to people\, and the underlying mechanisms of these\, before they begin
 . I will propose the idea of ‘dark logic’ models to help guide such ev
 aluations of potential harms and their underlying mechanisms. Lastly\, I w
 ill use ‘dark logic’ to evaluate how harm to people might have been av
 oided in the conservation interventions presented\, and what this might me
 an for future conservation interventions.
