There are educators everywhere working to teach the next generation of sustainability minded students. Whether in formal settings (K-12, undergraduate, graduate) settings or informally as science communication now it is more important than ever to work towards advancing Conservation Tech education.
The United Nations released the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which have served as a framework for educators in this space. Educating with a sustainable focus is a challenge whether you are interested in engineering, public policy, AI, or behavioral biology and we hope that this group will help you grow and exchange your ideas with other current and future educators.
This WILDLABS group has been set up by folks who are working to develop education toolkits, platforms, modules, and more in the conservation space. These tools can be at any level of development.
We hope you will become part of this group to share case studies, exchange ideas, and work towards developing a curriculum for future conservation tool crafters.
