“…I am adding my voice to a growing chorus questioning how we got here, and how conservation can change (e.g., Adeyeye et al, 2019;Kasaona, 2020;Mbaria & Ogada, 2016;Rodríguez et al, 2007). My considerations come from the position that natural resource conservation is vital given high rates of biodiversity loss (Diaz et al, 2019), while acknowledging that conservation, and indeed any manifestations of decolonial, decolonizing or convivial conservation will not take the same form everywhere.…”

“…Thirdly, Illich's conviviality makes equity compulsory, rather than optional, emphasizing that living together well is predicated on distributive and participatory justice. Finally, it promotes the type of grassroots decision-making and consultation that has long been championed for marginalized people, but rarely implemented in conservation schemes (Kiwango & Mabele, under review;Adeyeye et al, 2019). The unified commitment to limit resource consumption and promote justice and inclusive democracy are all integral pillars of Illich's thinking in a way that is absent from much dominant conservation thinking (Krauss, under review), inspiring alternative ideas.…”

In their article 'Towards convivial conservation' (2019), Büscher and Fletcher propose a vision for conservation which partly builds on Ivan Illich's 1973 book Tools for conviviality. Given a growing chorus of voices calling for decolonizing conservation to address the ramifications of racialized mindsets and biases,this article asks: what role could conviviality play in envisioning alternative, decolonizing conservation ideas, particularly for Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15? The article first reflects on the case for decolonizing conservation. It then conducts an in-depth analysis of Illich's radical ideas as well as subsequent understandings of conviviality, before juxtaposing Illich's ideas with Büscher and Fletcher's suggestions through a decolonizing lens. Finally,the article reviews SDG 15, 'Life on Land', against the backdrop of the prior decolonizing and convivial perspectives. The article argues that Illich's conviviality and related ideas have much to offer in envisioning alternative, decolonizing conservation ideas by promoting grassroots, democratic decision-making, living within bounds by the rich, emphasizing interdependencies between and within people and the environment, yet need to avoid imposition and incorporate intergenerational and marginalized viewpoints adequately.

“…Achieving higher inclusion of youth is challenging in circumstances where the powerful actors hold a narrow view on what is good participation (Adeyeye, Hagerman and Pelai, 2019). On the other hand, recent findings from Mexican forest communities suggest that reaching out to young people to understand their ideas and aspirations may be a way to start to empower them and make them take active roles in their villages (Robson et al, 2020).…”

“…This need for various types of networks or groups was mentioned in 50 of the 76 papers reviewed (e.g., Aguilar-Stoen, 2017;Belfer et al, 2019;Brosius, 2004;Chen & Gilmore, 2015;Comberti et al, 2019;Hill et al, 2020;Kuyper et al, 2017;Martello, 2008;Oviedo & Pyschkarsky, 2012;Vierros et al, 2020). Transnational organizing and coalitions between Indigenous peoples have opened up space for Indigenous peoples to influence both national, regional, and global agendas and has been identified as critical for developing further influence and agency in GEG decision-making with examples provided in the reviewed papers within UNFCCC and REDD regimes (Adeyeye et al, 2019;Aguilar-Stoen, 2017;Ciplet, 2014;Dawson et al, 2018;Denton, 2017;Doolittle, 2010;Shroeder, 2010;Wallbott, 2014).…”

Global environmental governance (GEG) forums, such as those convened through the United Nations, result in the development of monumental guiding frameworks such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Conference of Parties (COPs) Aichi and post-2020 targets. The ratification of policy frameworks by member and/or signatory states can result in major shifts in environmental policy and decision-making and has major implications for Indigenous communities. In this article, we present systematic review of the peer-reviewed literature on Indigenous participation in GEG forums, and focus on the specific questions: (1) what GEG forums include Indigenous participation and (2) how do Indigenous peoples participate in GEG forums, including how their perspectives and knowledges are framed and/or included/excluded within governance discussions, decisions, and negotiations. We provide a bibliometric analysis of the articles and derive seven inductively determined themes from our review: (1) Critical governance forums and decisions; (2) inclusion and exclusion of Indigenous voices and knowledge in GEG forums; (3) capacity barriers; (4) knowledge hierarchies: inclusion, integration, and bridging; (5) representation and grouping of Indigenous peoples in GEG; (6) need for networks among and between Indigenous peoples and other governance actors; and (7) Indigenous peoples influence on GEG decisions and processes. Our findings can be used to improve GEG forums by contributing to the development strategies that address the barriers and inequities to meaningful and beneficial Indigenous participation and can contribute to future research that is focused on understanding the experiences of Indigenous peoples within GEG forums.
