Apologies for cross-posting We would like to highlight the upcoming training workshop "Introduction to Changing the Behaviour of People to Advance Marine Mammal Conservation Goals" to be held in association with the World Marine Mammal Conference in Barcelona on Saturday 7th December, 2019.
Success in the conservation of marine mammals often relies upon the adoption of one or more sustainable behaviours by a specific group of people. Unfortunately, scientists and conservationists typically struggle to induce such changes due to the belief that people simply lack the knowledge and understanding required. In fact, provision of information is not enough to incite behavioural change and it may, on occasion, actually set back the wider cause. This full-day workshop is designed to introduce marine mammal scientists to existing tools that they may not be aware of to improve their ability to achieve the changes needed to affect conservation, and will be run by members of the Society for Conservation Biology’s Social Science & Conservation Marketing and Engagement Working Groups. For more details, or to register, please see the information here: https://www.wmmconference.org/workshops/#Introduction%20to%20Changing%20the% 20Behaviour%20of%20People%20to%20Advance%20Marine%20Mammal%20Conservation% 20Goals If you have specific questions, please feel free to contact myself ( [email protected]), or Ashley Dayer ([email protected]).
