Why is modern conservation failing? And what can we do to improve its effectiveness? As a social research consultant,  Leander Lacy notes that traditional approaches are fragmented, not adequately considering the social dimensions of environmental issues. His transformative solutions— rooted in empiricism and critical Human-Nature connectedness, help conservation groups and eco-minded businesses achieve optimal outcomes from conservation action: business growth, stronger community relationships, stakeholder engagement, and increased JEDI (justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion). In this episode we talk about: * On the “selfless” nature of Environmental Preservation * On applying Social Science perspectives to address topics in Conservation * On integrating Human Dimensions to promote sustainability in conservation Follow Leander: * IG - @greenmindpodcast * Website: https://www.thegreenmindpodcast.com/ Watch/Learn More: * YouTube - Breaking Green Ceilings Podcast * IG - @breaking_green_ceilings * Website: breakinggreenceilings.com
