Reaching out and sharing knowledge

We understand that not everyone can visit a conservation research site, but we do believe that everyone can be involved in conservation. Our outreach programs target the general public as well as specific populations of people. A key focus for us is providing training and workshops for early to mid career scientists.

Workshops

WORKSHOPS

TELEMETRY WORKSHOP

VISUAL STORYTELLING

Explorer Encounters: Conservation Storytelling in the Digital Age, Manila, August 2018

This workshop showed the audience how visual storytelling can create an emotional connection between the subject and the audience, and at its best, how it can advance conservation goals, inspire people to take action, and change their behaviour.

Thanks to our friends at Masungi Georeserve for inviting us.
