About This Course

During 2021 the Governance Practice developed a document with 9 Guiding Principles for Inclusive Conservation. Even though the Principles are at a DRAFT stage, it is the perfect opportunity to continue the process and make the document stronger by including perspectives and experiences from more WWF staff members. This is not a regular training; it is a space for collective construction and exchange. During the next couple of weeks, you will be able to understand the 9 Guiding Principles on Inclusive Conservation, provide feedback, and share challenges and best practices in a practical learning environment, that includes self-paced activities and engaging live virtual sessions. You will be part of a community of practitioners within the WWF network that aims to improve conservation impact.

Requirements

Inclusive conservation is everybody´s business, therefore, anyone can join! You do not have to be an expert in conservation, just want to be part of this broader conversation we are having about how to do conservation better, more inclusively and how would we have to change internally for this.
