  • Part 03 - Decolonizing Conservation through Local Stewardship with Javie Barcinal
    Jun 22 2024

    In this episode of The Crossroad: Voices of Justice, we discuss how community-led conservation can decolonize environmental efforts and tackle biodiversity loss. Javie Barcinal, a 2024 Global Landscape Forum Mountain Restoration Steward from Antique in the Philippines, shares his journey from volunteer to founder of Dulungan Youth, an organization named after the critically endangered Rufous-headed Hornbill, locally known as Dulungan.

    Javie highlights the importance of grassroots involvement, inclusivity, and traditional ecological knowledge in conservation. He believes that local communities and indigenous peoples, with their deep connection to the land, are crucial in leading conservation efforts.

    Tune in to learn how Javie and Dulungan Youth are empowering young people and fostering intergenerational solidarity to protect Antique’s rich biodiversity and cultural heritage.
