Join this workshop on Field Ecology in India: Research execution to Science Communication led by Dr Nishant Kumar of Ambedkar University.
The concept that all humans possess an inherent biophilia positions ecologists as vital facilitators in South Asia, where they can engage with local communities rich in traditional knowledge. These communities are not only essential stakeholders in biodiversity conservation but also play a crucial role in promoting sustainable living practices.
This workshop will feature sessions designed to address contemporary challenges at the intersection of conservation and development, with a particular focus on shared well-being. Participants will engage in handson activities, including creating videos, posters, graphic designs, or comics, dedicated to various forms of science communication. These activities aim to reflect their commitment to effective outreach. The goal is to demonstrate how leveraging expertise and fostering collaboration with local communities can enhance public understanding of ecological principles and empower individuals to take meaningful action in preserving our planet’s biodiversity.
