Webinar: Changing human behavior to secure conservation outcomes

Webinar: Changing human behavior to secure conservation outcomes

Presented by: Laura Perry of Castlerock Conservation and the IUCN SSC CEC Behavior Change Task Force

Date/Time: Tuesday, September 16, 10 am US EDT/7 am US PDT/2 pm UTC/3 pm BST/4 pm CEST

Description: Conservation behavior change is a nascent discipline, but one which has great applicability to many of today’s conservation challenges. By using lessons drawn from social psychology, behavioral economics, and healthcare interventions, this approach has huge potential to shape human behavior and ultimately secure conservation outcomes. In this talk, we will explore the fundamentals of behavior change and how an array of techniques can be used to change human behavior. Touching on examples from across conservation, we will discuss how these approaches can add value to a conservation program, how practitioners can go about involving behavior change in their work, and the relevance of behavior change approaches to conservation translocations.
