Abstract

In this week’s episode, host Dr Jennifer Cearns is joined by Dr Megnaa Mehtta, Dr Adam Runacres, Jia Hui Lee and Nicolas Rasiulis (McGill University) to discuss their research looking at the relationships between humans and animals in various contexts around the world.

What’s the right distance to have between humans and other animal species? Who gets to decide? And how do these decisions impact those whose livelihoods depend upon proximity to animals, whether as hunter-gatherers or safari tourist guides? Finally, how can these questions inform conservation practices at a time when humans are rapidly encroaching upon the habitats of other species across the planet?
