Conservation social science reading group, anyone?
Hi everyone,
I try to (somhow, somewhat) stay up to date with the social sciences on conservation, and was wondering if anyone might like to read stuff together on an irregular basis? I'm initially thinking of some recent case studies and perspectives that are on my reading list anyway (such as this and this), but am open to ideas. Let me know if you're interested and we can see where things lead us!
Paul

Hi Paul! Amazing to see you are co-organising this! I will make sure to include your post to our upcoming Highlights newsletter that goes out this Friday.
Perhaps that this request for collaboration may be of interest to you and your networks @Emily Caruso , @Faisal Moola,, PhD , @Grace Alawa , @Eberechi Cecilia Osuagwu, Wildhub Advocate , @Nguyen Van Kien , @Lucy Radford , @Thomas Worsdell, @Ana Di Pangracio and @Grace Pounsin ?
Thanks Thirza :)
Okay!
A warm WildHub welcome to you Paul, good to have you join us.
Thanks Grace, nice to be here :)
Welcome to WildHub, Paul!
Thank you Lara!
Hey Paul, a warm welcome to WildHub! Great to have you join us.
May I ask what has been your most important learning moment so far related to your work?
I would recommend having a look at our upcoming WildHub socials (information here ) - it's a great way of sharing knowledge and getting to know each other in our WildHub community.
I am tagging @Eberechi Cecilia Osuagwu, Wildhub Advocate here too because she is leading a youth network in Nigeria who are mapping traditional ecological knowledge and history; you two may have some overlap in interests/work.
Thanks Thirza! I'll try to be there for one of the socials. Not sure what the most important learning moment has been. I think I learn a little thing every day. Maybe in the last few months, while working remotely from the UK, I have learned a little bit what it is like to be a conservationist who works on projects that s/he rarely visits in person, and the importance in such situations of good communcation channels.
