The project evaluates the impact of animals on the politics of South Asian borderlands, which are exposed to climate change, species decline and intensifying nuclear state rivalry. Using a comparative multispecies ethnography of India’s borders with Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal, it will study the role of animals in reinforcing or subverting the power of sovereign states. Expected outcomes are new analytical and conceptual tools to understand these overlooked actors in geopolitics and the links between foreign, security and transboundary conservation policies. This knowledge has potential application in demilitarisation and cooperation around transborder animal flows, benefitting security, ecosystems and Australian interests in South Asia.

该项目评估了动物对南亚边境政治的影响，这些影响暴露于气候变化，物种下降并加剧核国家风险。使用印度与巴基斯坦，孟加拉国和尼泊尔边界的比较多种民族志，它将研究动物在加强或颠覆主权国家的力量中的作用。预期的结果是新的分析和概念工具，可以理解这些被忽视的地缘政演员以及外国，安全和跨界保护政策之间的联系。这些知识在跨境动物流的非军事和合作中具有潜在的应用，从而使安全性，生态系统和南亚的利益受益。
