In today’s episode, our hosts interview Professor Xavier Basurto from Duke University. We discuss the evolution and intersectionality of his career, the importance of collaboration within sustainability, and his research into common-pool resources and collective action. Professor Basturto explains his research with the Seri people from a Mexican fishing community, where he developed strategies to support small-scale fisheries. Now more than ever, it is crucial we work with communities around the world to protect the global commons.
