Seeking Peaceful Coexistence with Wildlife
This episode seeks to highlight solutions which help humans and wildlife coexist. It highlights the reasons behind why conflicts take place and how policymakers are addressing it. It also addresses how each of us can handle conflicts with the animals around us every day whether it is a small mosquito or a big bear. Our first guest, Gerard Martin, is a conservationist in India who focuses on trying to educate people, and young children on how to coexist with snakes. Death due to snake bites is a very big problem in India, which also gives a negative perception of the animal. But Gerry is trying to change that. We will also talk to Petros Chrysafis, a wildlife conservationist based in California, focusing on mitigating human-wildlife conflicts in the region. He tells us more about how he has established predator monitoring tools and non-lethal deterrent measures to ensure livestock and wildlife coexist safely. Lastly, we will hear from Paul Pebsworth, a primatologist who has worked on mitigating human-wildlife conflict between primates and humans in many parts of the world and is currently based in Texas. Paula’s focus is to find solutions for humans and wild animals to coexist and also addresses the language and narratives policymakers, the media, researchers, conservationists etc should use while talking about human-wildlife conflicts. Our correspondent is Priyanka Shankar.

Seeking Harmony for Global Asian Immigrants
On this PEACE TALKS RADIO episode, correspondent Sen Zhan explores three perspectives on the nature of intercultural conflict in transcultural Asian immigrants in western countries. When East meets West in the modern-day, it’s not only cultures that can clash, it’s also the past crashing into the present. Asians who have been formed by both cultures know this very well, and are one group among many who navigate the conflicts of transcultural existence. We’ll hear from Chinese-Canadian psychiatrist, Dr. Julian Xue, Chinese-American author Iris Chen, and Chinese-Canadian trauma recovery coach Sherry Yuan Hunter.

Resolving the Misinformation Link to Conflict
On this edition of PEACE TALKS RADIO, we’ll dive into a deeper understanding of some terms we’re all now much more familiar with terms like misinformation, disinformation, and even “fake news”, then we’ll look at ways to block their negative impacts -sometimes deadly impact - in some parts of the world. Correspondent Danielle Preiss and her guests will help us learn that humans have been using what’s been called more recently “fake news” to win conflicts since we’ve been able to communicate – over whatever platform has been available at the time. By understanding how we are primed as a species to use and experience false information, we can check our impulses and use the tools available to us to stop its influence.
