New guide for trainers puts social issues at heart of conservation.

18 October 2016

One of the main outputs of a joint initiative to integrate  social and rights-based principles in conservation is a training package that is now available on an open access basis in print and online.

TBA also designed and led the training of 20 conservation professionals from six African countries in key social and rights-based dimensions to conservation. 

Demand for training in this area is growing, and the INTRINSIC package will help to build the capacity of conservation managers to work more effectively with local communities. “This fills a big gap; the trainers’ guide is a great resource.” says TBA Director, Rosie Trevelyan,
