This is an online event.Beyond Inspiration: The CARE Roadmap for Audience Conservation Engagement
Presenter Emily Routman will introduce a practical guide designed to help nature-based cultural institutions such as zoos and aquariums engage their audiences in ways that promote measurable conservation outcomes, including conservation action. Developed for San Diego Zoo Global and available to the professional community, the 2-part reference consists of 1) a conceptual framework that synthesizes findings from decades of research and case studies into a relatable model, and 2) a roadmap that outlines a structured approach to applying the principles to practice. The CARE model offers a unified strategy that blends environmental education techniques with methods used in targeted conservation action campaigns.
