Negotiating Coexistence
Training, strategy, and advice for resolving conflicts in biodiversity conservation
Enabling dialogue, cooperation and coexistence for conservation and nature recovery
Resolving complex tensions and fostering collaboration to protect nature requires specialist skills and impartial support. Disputes among individuals and organisations can be difficult to manage when they become entangled with underlying historical tensions over the interests and identities of different groups of people. While some situations may be negotiable, others are so entrenched that they seem impossible to resolve. It can be unclear and daunting to work out how to address these situations, at what point and what type of third-party help to seek, and how to prevent further escalation.
Negotiation Coexistence is an independent specialist consultancy that provides training, conflict analysis and advisory strategic support for individuals and organizations seeking to build peaceful, equitable, and sustainable solutions for people and the planet. Working at the intersection of biodiversity conservation, conflict resolution and diplomacy, we provide tailored training and strategy workshops and help organisations navigate disputes, enable dialogue, develop effective engagement and co-design collaborative conservation strategies for the benefit of nature and people.
