Interspecies Council: Imagining Futures with More-than-Human Voices
What would decisions look like if we considered the needs and voices of rivers, trees and other species, beyond humans? What if nature had a seat at the table? Join Moral Imaginations for an immersive experience of a governance tool where participants embody rivers, soil, and local species to co-create visions for Wales’s ecological future. The Interspecies Council is a groundbreaking methodology that brings more-than-human perspectives into governance, policy-making, and organisational decision-making. Through guided roleplay, research, and structured process, participants speak on behalf of species, ecosystems and natural entities to create solutions. Could this improve decision making on planet earth?
