Webinar | Communications for Conservation Projects
Within conservation there is a growing realisation that we need to do much more to share our messages and encourage more support and action. As a result, conservation employers are rapidly looking for people with communications skills.
They want staff who can plan communications activities, write effectively, get press and media attention, engage audiences on social media, deliver campaigns, write blogs, produce podcasts and more.
We analysed 29,767 conservation jobs, from over 100 countries, and 41% explicitly wanted people with communications skills or experience. Of these, 2,726 were communications specialist roles like Communications Officers. Marketing Managers or Social Media Officers.
If you want to succeed as a wildlife conservationist you need communications skills.
During this webinar you’ll learn:
- Why communications skills are so important for aspiring and professional conservationists
- Examples of successful communications campaigns within conservation
- The top 6 communications skills most sought after by conservation employers?
- Bring your questions and get answers from Lloyd
