Conservation needs a revolution. This is the only way for it to contribute to the drastic transformations necessary to achieve a truly sustainable development model. The good news is that conservation is ready for revolution. Heated debates over the rise of the Anthropocene and the current “sixth extinction” crisis demonstrate an urgent need and desire to move beyond traditional approaches. Yet the conservation community is deeply divided over the path forward.

In this video, Bram Büscher explains some of the ideas proposed in his new book (co-authored with Robert Fletcher), The Conservation Revolution: Radical Ideas for Saving Nature Beyond the Anthropocene.

They argue that the challenge of the Anthropocene demands something bigger, better, and bolder than what is currently on offer. Something truly revolutionary. A post-capitalist manifesto for conservation.
