Breaking the Mold: Exploring Models of Organizing in Science and Conservation | Dr Nandini Velho
Channel: Canopy Collective 
Date: 05/03/2024

Our talk series blah blah blah starts off with Dr. Nandini Velho on organizing models in research and conservation, and the idea behind Canopy Collective (formerly, seed lab).

Many formal institutional modes of engagement determine the structure and social dynamics of conservation science and communication, but they are often restrictive in terms of cooperation among ourselves, collaborations across fields and encouraging leadership. In this talk, I will explore the models of organizing, using principles, of organized citizenship behavior. I will explain why the experimental idea of the Canopy Collective is important in trying out for research and conservation, given that we are often focused on specializations, educational degrees and restricted to non-governmental organizations or research institutes.
