Online Communities

We host two online communities that are free to join and open to everyone. We intend them to promote a feeling of community and camaraderie amongst all conservation professionals and provide a forum for discussion amongst our members. Each operates as both a network and a resource. They provide a space for sharing opportunities, making professional connections, participating in fruitful discussions, and promoting increased awareness of the field of conservation.

Facebook Group

We host a public Facebook Group open to all emerging conservation professionals worldwide, including those just learning about the field and considering a career in conservation. We also welcome and encourage established conservation professionals to contribute content and advice.

Join by searching for “Emerging Conservation Professionals Network” on Facebook and click “Request to Join.” This is a public Facebook group in which administrators must approve membership, but they do not moderate discussions. Before joining, please read our guidelines for posting below.
