We are an international community of conservation professionals. We provide a space to exchange ideas, create new solutions, and make new partnerships to enable better, faster, and cheaper conservation that helps save more wildlife. We are a non-hierarchical friendly community of like-minded people, with similar values and different ideas. Our community is free to join and mainly for those currently working in the conservation sector, but it is open to anyone who feels that they can contribute in a meaningful way. Our community is member-led, meaning that members decide what to talk about, how to interact, and how to grow the community.

Hi Jerry, your career switch from energy to conservation is really interesting. I would be interested to know more about how you managed to make the transition.
Hi Jennifer, thanks for your interest - I think I'm very much still in the transition to be honest. So far it has consisted of 6 months getting some short-term volunteer experiences (at the RSPB for example) and then doing a 1 year conservation MSc. Since then I have had a couple of internships (one on hold due to Covid) and a sort of paying project manager role, all for 6 months abroad - they seem to be slightly easier to obtain as stepping stones (I hope) to longer term employment in the sector. I've done a bit on marine plastics, so a link to the corporate world there, and longer term may well focus on areas linked to the energy sector - climate, marine/blue carbon, business and biodiversity etc - so as to leverage my previous industry experience.
