We address a core problem: environmental decision-making continues to be limited by human-centric, top-down approaches that exclude diverse perspectives and local communities.

The article presents the Council of Care method, which we developed and applied across educational, local community, and policy contexts in Brazil and the Netherlands. It is an open invitation to learn with arts-based, relational practices.

Let’s rethink how we relate knowledge, care, and policy relevance.
Can we build science-policy interfaces that are more plural, reflective, and just?

We investigate this through the case of BPBES and its Summaries for Decision-Makers. Our analysis shows that care shapes the content, process, and impact of BPBES assessments — but it's often constrained by dominant, linear models of the science-policy interface.

Can knowledge for decision-making be both policy-relevant and caring?
Can it be attentive not only to scientific credibility, but also to people, more-than-human beings, and the messy realities of biodiversity governance?

Next step: I’ll use the award to travel to Brazil to deliver the book in person, to listen and give thanks.
A small gesture toward a world where babassu breakers and mother palm trees can thrive. 🌴💚

In response to the MIQCB’s call to return shared knowledge, I’m creating a retribution book—a collaborative return of the research in their voices. It’s supported by the GEOS project (NWO Vidi grant, led by
@davidludwig.bsky.social).

This paper is a result of collective care, knowledge, and resistance. I owe deep thanks to the Interstate Movement of Babassu Breakers (MIQCB), my co-authors Prof. Carmen Lucia Lima, @estherturnhout.bsky.social, and everyone who supported this work.

We conclude by reflecting on how more-than-human care can illuminate the invisible, while critically examining its role in fieldwork practices, theoretical insights, and biodiversity conservation.

We highlight 4 key dimensions:
1️⃣ Care as vital & everyday
2️⃣ Human-nonhuman relationality
3️⃣ Interspecies reciprocity
4️⃣ Flourishing for as many as possible

We connect feminist care ethics, post-humanist thinking, & local knowledge & practices of care. By engaging with humans & non-humans, we investigate care’s role in transformative biodiversity conservation. 🌿
