Behind the Mission

A thriving career in conservation is one of the most powerful ways to protect our planet. The Conservation Careers Team is here to help you build yours – with clarity, confidence, and community.

We believe careers aren’t straight lines, but journeys we travel best with support, courage, and curiosity. Anyone can be a conservationist through their actions and intent. Everyone can be a learner and a teacher. Like nature itself, our careers are resilient – and when nurtured in the right conditions, they thrive.

Hello, my name is
Dr Nick Askew

I founded Conservation Careers in 2013 with a simple goal – to make it easier for people to find meaningful work protecting the natural world.

After years of working in conservation, I saw how many passionate, talented people were struggling to find their place in the sector. I wanted to change that – to bring clarity to conservation careers, share honest advice, and build a global community where we can all learn from one another.

Over a decade later, that vision has grown into a movement. Today, Conservation Careers supports over 700,000 conservationists in 178 countries, helping students, career switchers, and professionals find their path and make an impact.

Together with our amazing team and network of Experts in Residence, we’re here to guide you on your journey – with practical training, personal support, and a community that believes in your potential.

I can’t wait to hear your success story – and celebrate the day you say, “It was the Conservation Careers community that changed everything for me.”

Here’s to you, and to a world where wildlife – and conservationists – thrive.

Meet the team

These are the conservationists walking beside you on your journey. They lead live events, facilitate career challenges and community groups, answer questions, and help you find your next step with confidence.

From experienced professionals to passionate peers, they’re right here in the CC Pro community – guiding, encouraging, and celebrating your progress every step of the way.

You’ll never have to navigate your career alone.
