Project Management in Conservation
with Justin Birkhoff
 
Someone has to make the Sandwiches.
 
What is it you think of when you hear “wildlife conservation?” No doubt there is an image conjured in your mind. Maybe it is a slide show, a documentary voiced by a comforting British accent, or someone clad in khaki in a far-flung place living in a canvas tent. These are not uncommon, nor are they incorrect. However, they are an incomplete picture of conservation and what it takes for wildlife conservation to occur. Biological science is a vital part of conservation, but there is an entire ecosystem (pun intended) that makes conservation work. Join us to learn more about wildlife conservation in the 21st century and the power skills required to make the sandwich.
