"Another approach to conservation is needed, one that takes seriously our economic system’s structural pressures, violent socio-ecological realities, cascading extinctions and increasingly authoritarian politics". This is what we wrote 5 years ago.

New paper! . Toward a planetary ethnography? From “frictions” to “tensions” in understanding post-truth capitalist power . Argues it is time for anthropology to reclaim truth and speak it to capitalist power more forcefully. And shows how we can do so.

Even this report only hints at vested power in the most circumspect way in a box on page 46 (as @ShelbyMatevich points out!). So if we actually want structural change, we need to support alternatives like @convivconserv, @ICCAConsortium and all others who challenge vested power.

Unless WWF and the rest of mainstream conservation comes clean as a counter-hegemonic force and shifts alliances from business-as-usual to those who challenge vested power, their apocalyptic warnings will continue to sound hollow and be ignored. Indeed - they do/are already.

Another even year, another apocalyptic report by @WWF. But when push comes to shove, WWF consistently avoids any language that challenges vested power structures & the sanctity of growth. Instead of more apocalyptic reports, we need a conservation revolution!.
