DESCRIPTION:\nThe conservation of biodiversity and natural resources is un
 avoidably about managing conflicts between groups of people. Tensions can 
 arise over access to land\, resources and benefits from protected areas\, 
 the management of wildlife\, sustainable use\, livelihoods\, development\,
  and social justice. To withstand current global pressures and impacts of 
 climate change\, pandemics and other crises\, conservation efforts need to
  become skilled at preventing and handling conflicts over protected areas\
 , wildlife\, and access to natural resources. The UN Convention on Biologi
 cal Diversity’s 2050 Vision of ‘Living in Harmony with Nature’ envis
 ages a world in which such environmental conflicts are much reduced. Howev
 er\, to reach this aspirational goal and if ambitions of nature recovery a
 nd sustainable coexistence are to become reality managing and preventing c
 onflicts over biodiversity needs to become a staple ingredient of conserva
 tion everywhere.  This talk will discuss the levels and characteristics of
  conflicts over biodiversity and explore what can be learned and adapted f
 rom the fields of conflict analysis\, negotiation and resolution to increa
 se our collective capacity to manage biodiversity conflicts successfully.
