Hi fellow creatives,

I love this drawing, thanks for creating and sharing it with our community! A WildHub member recently drew his vision of his ideal conservation project which shows us: environmental education is as important as working out there in the field and/or in science.

Post your quick doodle in the Art and Conservation room with # Sketch Your Conservation Project

Sketch Instructions:
Take 10 minutes to reflect on a conservation project you are or have worked on. What would this project look like as a doodle or sketch? Draw that image and take a photo. Post your sketch to the ‘Art and Conservation’ Room with the banner #Sketch Your Conservation Project and under your image share your lessons learned.

Please answer at least two of the three lessons learned attached to your sketch.

Which lessons learned can I share on this topic that could benefit the wider conservation community/people working on this topic?
What did I wish I would have known before I started working on this topic and could be useful to share with other professionals now?
Which piece of information on this topic do I feel is currently missing in the conservation sector?

* This exercise is based on a team of professional science communicators at the American Geophysical Union (AGU). Click the link to see examples of sketches and animated earth and space research projects to give you ideas about yours.

Carolyn Rosevelt, MSc (She/Her)

Seeking GIS, Sci Comm, or Field Research opportunities, formerly NASA

Highly experienced in supporting policy and decision making through delivering data on marine species, coastal pollution, and water delivery on the local, state, and federal levels.

Early in my career I took every opportunity I could to gain experience in marine mammal science from California to Quebec. These opportunities created strong connections eventually guiding me to researching plastic pollution while earning my masters degree. As I finished writing my thesis, I began working with NASA on projects using satellite imagery and big data to investigate drought, this experience immensely strengthened my project management, mapping, and analytical skills. Last year I ventured into conservation writing wanting to build on my science communication skills. I would be happy to feature your project or career journey as a blog post within WildHub, so feel free to reach out to set up a short chat/interview.
