Knowing & Learning

One central premise of our work is that we have a lot to learn about human-animal coexistence through cultural exchanges and dialogue. While we depart from a place of epistemic humility, we also firmly believe that the more we can produce and be guided by credible scientific evidence demonstrating the importance of safeguarding our interdependence, the more progress we will be able to make on these issues. To that end, we have a broad base of research-focused partners helping us bring innovative methodologies to bear upon our projects and interventions as a way to both evaluate their impacts and help us better understand complex issues of coexistence. We then invest significantly in knowledge exchange between North America, Africa, and the global community studying human-animal interactions to share these learnings and create mutually beneficial points of contact.
