Work Package 5 – CC
What
CurveBend seeks to bridge divides across disciplines, sectors, and continents in order to address biodiversity loss. Central to this aim is WP5, working to foster mutual learning both locally and internationally—for example, among Dutch dairy farmers, Argentinian gauchos, and Maasai pastoralists, as well as between farmers and conservation managers in shared landscapes.
Communication and exchange are positioned as core mechanisms for this process, overseen by WP5. Beyond traditional one-way methods of disseminating scientific results, CurveBend emphasises dialogue and the integration of local narratives. Such perspectives provide crucial insights into how community-level initiatives can generate wider societal change. By employing innovative, evidence-based methods, CurveBend enables two-way communication, cultivates cross-regional relationships, and contributes to transformative change that extends beyond the immediate study regions.
