Part Three

How does doing good research relate to you?

You may have heard that sometimes the process is more important than the product, right? Or “trust the process”? Why do we have to do the process before creating the product? Listen two these different perspectives from two established leaders in their field, and why they trusted the process. Sometimes. And sometimes they learned that the process was broken.

Hal Kvisle is a Canadian business icon. He’s been named Canada’s outstanding CEO of the year, received the Canadian Business Leader Award, and has been recognized as one of the 50 most influential executives in the country. 

Dr. Harvey Locke is a conservationist, writer, and photographer who is a recognized global leader in the field of parks, wilderness and large landscape conservation. He is co-founder of both the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative and the global Nature Needs Half Movement and serves as Chair of the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas Beyond the Aichi Targets Task Force.

This podcast is featured across all 5 subjects here on Nature Labs. We’re going to show you throughout this unit how each subject links to one another. You might not like art, or science, or English, or social studies – but hey – they are all related. Let’s find out!

Hal Kvisle

  • Are his perspectives reasonable?
  • Do you think his vision for balance does right by both the economy and biodiversity?
  • Has he given you better insight in how you can work with business leaders - major corporations - to bring about change that benefits both people and nature?
  • Were you surprised by his advocacy for conservation?
  • Did he advocate for too much, or too little?
  • If you had assumptions about Hal did he change your perspective? On the issues? On the person?

Dr. Harvey Locke

  • Is the Yellowstone to Yukon concept of large-landscape conservation working?
  • Is your answer based on your bias or the evidence?
  • Is the model one that should be scaled nationally – and globally – to protect half the world in order to halt biodiversity loss?
  • Is the idea too big, too divisive to have a real chance at working?
  • Is it too colonial, too parks-forward?
  • Does it, as has been said, separate people from nature?
  • Or is Nature Needs Half simply a response to what the science says, a big idea whose time has come?
  • Is it a cost-efficient tool to not only protect biodiversity, but also curb climate change?
  • Should there not be places where nature gets to come first, given how many places where people get to reign supreme? Or was it by separating people from nature that led to the problems we face in the first place?
  • What’s your perspective? If you don’t think this is the right solution, what is?
