Photo: Projekt ,,Diversity Turn' International research team emphasises importance of diversity, equity and inclusion The tropics hold most of the planet's biodiversity. In order to preserve this fragile and valuable asset, many individuals and communities need to get involved and be well informed. However, tropical ecology and conservation sciences are still often affected by colonialistic and discriminatory practices, which can hamper nature conservation success. An international research team from leading universities in tropical research, including the University of Göttingen, has now proposed how researchers from the Global South, which consists of nations historically damaged by colonialism, could better promote solutions for a sustainable development. Their opinion paper was published in the journal Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation. Erstautorin Carolina Ocampo-Ariza und Co-Autorin Justine Vansynghel erläutern ihre Forschungsergebnisse vor politischen Entscheidungsträgern und lokalen Bauerngenossenschaften in Peru.
