Many people working in nature conservation are experts in understanding species, habitats and ecosystems from a natural science perspective.  You’re familiar with methods, you know the literature and you know who to speak to when you need to solve a problem.

But when it comes to understanding the people within those ecosystems…you’re not so sure.  Your training has not equipped you to work with social scientists and the disciplines of social science.  It can be overwhelming to realise there’s a big gap in the skills you need to achieve your conservation objectives.  But you’re not alone.  Many of the people we work with are lost in the unfamiliar terminology, want to better understand social science methods, and are uncertain how to move forwards.

We can help you.  This one-day course is a great step to help you build a foundation understanding of conservation social science.
