Women in Wildlife
This is a baseline survey to briefly understand the kind of challenges faced by women as they work closely in wildlife related fields.
Greetings!
I am working on understanding the kind of challenges women face as they work closely with wildlife, in eco-tourism, conservation, research, photography, etc. related fields. I have created a short baseline survey to understand women's perspectives globally. I would invite you to take part in this short survey that will only take 5 minutes of your time.
Data collected will be used to write a feature on Women and Wildlife related work on www.thenatureedition.com which is a conservation blog.
Please take part and share in relevant circles. https://forms.gle/xvwxEvnTzUiJcsiCA

🌿 This is such a generous and timely offering, Sera, thank you!
Clear, inclusive communication is at the heart of effective conservation, especially when working across cultures, languages, and disciplines. I love that this course welcomes non-native English speakers and focuses on practical strategies for engaging diverse audiences. That’s a real gift to the global conservation community.
I’m especially curious about how the sessions might support storytelling and community dialogue, two areas I’m passionate about through my work with the Eco Guardians of Lake Naivasha. Are there elements in the course that explore how to tailor messages for different age groups or cultural contexts?
Looking forward to joining and learning alongside others. Please keep sharing these opportunities, your work is helping build bridges where they’re most needed!
Warm regards,
Simon
Hello Simon, Thank you for your questions! These sessions are scheduled for 1 hour every Monday at 9.30 PM IST ( +5.30 GMT) These are open for all conservation professionals. These sessions focus on communication theory in the specific context of conservation.
Yesterday's session focussed on the use of Active Voice Vs. Passive Voice and when to use which voice to frame communication in specific contexts.
Going forward, we will be looking at language to be used with different stakeholders for advocacy, management, local communities and how to craft messages that resonate with the diverse interests of people that are stakeholders in conservation projects. In upcoming sessions, we will explore tools for storytelling such as literary devices, language for emotion, etc. along with language support as many people are not from countries where English is not their first language but required to communicate the conservation impact globally.
