New publication from CC members Svetoslava Toncheva @Julian Perry and Robert Fletcher!
In this article, published in the International Journal of the Commons, the authors propose the concept of “multispecies constitutionality” to rethink how conservation can move beyond human-centered governance.
Drawing on the case of human–bear interactions in Bulgaria’s Rodopi mountains, they show how outmigration and postsocialist change have opened new spaces for brown bears, and with them, new challenges and opportunities for coexistence.
By highlighting the agency of non-humans in shaping shared landscapes, the authors call for more inclusive and just forms of conservation governance that recognise humans and other species as co-actors in the making of place.
