We commit to be part of breaking this cycle. Further, we recognize that the same people who have been systemically excluded from the process are disproportionately hurt by degraded air, lands and waters, perpetuating a cycle of harm and exclusion. We acknowledge that barriers persist, despite the importance of these individuals and communities as both stakeholders and stewards, ones from whom the world has much to learn. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation, we acknowledge that centuries of racism, violence, discrimination and marginalization have obstructed participation of Black, Latinx, Indigenous and Asian people and communities of color in conservation globally. Such efforts require broad collaboration across sectors and geographies and the contributions of diverse voices, perspectives, expertise and experience.Īt the E.O.
The Half-Earth Project is calling on people everywhere to participate in a “moonshot” to care for our planet. Tamara also works as a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion consultant, facilitating DEI workshops, and is a fellow at the Adirondack Diversity Initiative. This mission is so close to Tamara’s heart that she decided to take a year-long sabbatical from the classroom to study environmental and natural resources conservation at the SUNY School of Environmental Science and Forestry's Ranger School.
She now hopes to increase access and inclusivity of nature for traditionally marginalized communities, while also expanding nature education opportunities in urban classrooms. As a woman of color, she has experienced moments of being excluded from natural spaces firsthand. As a high school science teacher in Baltimore City, Tamara has worked for 13 years in the classroom and looks for any opportunity to infuse nature and the environment into her lessons. Tamara Jolly is a Master Ambassador in the Half-Earth Project Educator Ambassador Program. She discovered her deep love for nature as an adult, and hopes to instill environmental appreciation and advocacy into the lives of her students. Norina is currently pursing a master’s degree in Integrative Biology at San Francisco State University in California. She is actively working with the taxonomy of ants in Gorongosa National Park as well as Lepidoptera. Norina also leads educational tours and regularly participates in biodiversity surveys of Gorongosa. Wilson Biodiversity Laboratory in Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique where she manages the biological collections, coordinates biodiversity data entry and digital imaging of specimens, species identification, and curation. Her interests concentrate on insects, taxonomy, new species, conservation of biodiversity, symbiosis between species, tritrophic interactions. Since then, her passion has been to understand how organisms and ecosystems are organized and how knowledge of ecology, evolution, and conservation biology can be used to develop better strategies to protect Mozambique’s national areas. In 2016, while still studying, she accepted an internship in Mozambique’s premier protected area, Gorongosa National Park. She received her B.Sc degree in Ecotourism and Wildlife Management from Instituto Superior Politécnico de Manica in Manica province. Norina Carlos de Jesus Francisco Vicente, born in Tete Province, Mozambique, is an Entomologist in training and photographer. Wilson passed away on December, 26, 2021 in Burlington, Massachusetts. For his work in conservation, he received the Gold Medal of the Worldwide Fund for Nature and the Audubon Medal of the Audubon Society.Į.O. National Medal of Science, the Crafoord Prize (equivalent of the Nobel, for ecology) of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and the International Prize of Biology of Japan and in letters, two Pulitzer Prizes in non-fiction, the Nonino and Serono Prizes of Italy and COSMOS Prize of Japan. Wilson was acknowledged as the creator of two scientific disciplines (island biogeography and sociobiology), three unifying concepts for science and the humanities jointly (biophilia, biodiversity studies, and consilience), and two major advances in global biodiversity conservation (the Encyclopedia of Life and Half-Earth. Wilson was recognized in both science and literature, as a synthesizer in works stretching from pure biology across to the social sciences and humanities.
