Thanks, @Thirza Loffeld! I'm not a conservation catalyst, but I'm a WildHub community advocate with a background in writing and editing. Other aspects you may wish to keep in mind as you write include:

Your reason why - What drew you to this topic in the first place?

The plot - What story are you trying to tell?

Intended impact - What would you like to accomplish by writing this piece?

I'm happy to answer any questions or help edit pieces!

@Thirza Loffeld It truly has been informative and guided my approach of reaching out to experts in capacity building. I'm currently waiting on responses as I draft interview questions.

WildHub Conservation Catalyst Programme: your Catalyst Challenge!

Welcome to the WildHub Conservation Catalyst Programme – your chance to learn, collaborate, and share lessons from conservation practice with a global community. This short, self-paced course guides you through every step of creating and publishing your first lessons-learned contribution on WildHub — from choosing your topic and interviewing an expert, to editing and celebrating your final piece. You’ll also practise skills that every thriving community builder needs: collaboration, reflection, and supporting peers. Each milestone you reach — Bronze, Silver, or Gold — celebrates not only your published work but your commitment to learning and sharing knowledge for the benefit of others. No prior experience is needed. Just curiosity, kindness, and willingness to learn through doing.
