Webinar | Designing Conservation Projects That Deliver Real Impact
Explore what good conservation project management really looks like, why so many projects struggle, and how the Conservation Standards provide a practical, proven framework for doing things better.
Well-designed, adaptively managed projects can transform conservation outcomes – helping teams clarify priorities, use resources wisely, learn faster, and avoid unintended harm. Poorly designed projects, by contrast, can waste time and funding, frustrate teams, and fail the very species and communities they aim to support. It’s no surprise that project management and design are among the most requested skills in conservation job adverts, appearing in over half of roles advertised on Conservation Careers to date.
Dr Nick Askew and Felix Cybulla explore:
- Why is project design and management important for conservation? Learn how to create better conservation impact, and become more employable.
- What are the Conservation Standards? Explore the leading approach to project design, management, monitoring and evaluation in the conservation industry.
- What is the Certificate in Conservation Standards Project – Management and Design? Find out about our training programme, including what it covers, who it’s for and how it works.
- You’ll also have the chance to ask your own questions live.
This session is designed for:
- Aspiring and early-career conservationists
- Project officers, coordinators, and managers
- Career switchers moving into conservation roles
- Practitioners who want to strengthen their project design skills
- Conservationists who are curious about the Conservation Standards but unsure where to start
