“…How exactly one can or should imagine the conditions in question is not given, though one can probably do worse than starting with a conception of humans and other animals being equal and co-dependent, and then consider how they can live together in difference within a broader ecological context. With such a point of departure, it becomes clear that current efforts to rectify war damage done to animals fall way short -this, with 'wildlife management' (including managerial approaches to wildlife conservation) being oriented towards 'control' rather than 'diplomacy, negotiation and conviviality', 94 and 'welfare provisions' for domesticated and other captive animals being equivalent to warfare provisions. 95…”

If diplomacy is considered an alternative to war, can the ongoing human ‘war against animals’ be replaced with diplomacy between humans and other animals? While many scholars and practitioners of diplomacy can be expected to dismiss such an idea out of hand, this essay encourages us to think more seriously and thoroughly about what it might imply to engage diplomatically with nonhuman animals. Doing so requires a somewhat unconventional conception of diplomacy, and some scholars have already done much to rethink diplomacy in suitable ways (despite the persistent anthropocentrism). Combining such work with political science scholarship on human-animal relations, indigenous peoples’ relations with animals, various notions of animal ambassadorship and the study of animal behaviour in natural settings, the essay argues that interspecies diplomacy is possible and urges scholars to further explore this and how the possibility in question can be translated into reality.
