We assist those entering or thinking about entering the field of conservation with the transition from pre-program candidacy to graduate school and through to early career stages. We do this by producing targeted programming and resources, fostering a professional community for them through local networks and online platforms, and connecting them with educational and professional development opportunities.

As a Network within AIC, we aim to develop content that is of interest to anyone working across the field of conservation. Our leadership is made up of emerging conservation professionals from different career stages, Specialty Groups, training programs, and geographic locations.
