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.

enrich our relationships, rather than deteriorate them? To answer these
questions, correspondent Sen Zhan speaks with four experts in the field of

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.

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.
