ANS Conservation Café: Trees, Science, and People: How Corazón Latino engages communities in conservation

May 7, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Join us for a virtual evening with Felípe Benitez, Executive Director of Corazón Latino.
 
Thursday, May 7  •  7:00 – 8:30pm  •  Online via Zoom  •  Tickets $5-15.
Felípe will tell stories and show images that illustrate what he’s learned about engaging the Latino community in conservation, both in person pre-Covid and now, when everything has changed. In dialogue with Audubon Naturalist Society’s Conservation Director, Eliza Cava, he will address the following questions, and take more from the audience:
  • How do Latino communities enjoy nature by comparison to mainstream, white communities?
  • What does a model of culturally relevant, linguistically appropriate citizen science projects look like?
  • What is a “transcreation” process of creating culturally relevant communication materials for new audiences, and how is it different from translation?
  • How does an organization or group transcend tokenism and get to true engagement that sets people up for success?
