What, if anything, has conservation got to do with extractivism? What are some of the more general phenomena that shape the way we as modern humans living in capitalist societies relate to non-human “nature”?

In the episode you can hear some examples of how the image of wolves has changed in Finland over time, what some of the biggest threats to wolf conservation are, and why Sanna thinks that the CONVIVA – convivial conservation research project offers an exciting alternative to current conservation paradigms.
