Description
The conservation of biological diversity ultimately depends on people's knowledge and actions. This book presents the theory and practice for creating effective education and outreach programmes for conservation. Jacobson, McDuff, and Monroe describe an exciting array of techniques for enhancing school resources, marketing environmental messages, using mass media, developing partnerships for conservation, and designing on-site programmes for natural areas and community centres. Vivid case studies from around the world illustrate techniques and describe planning, implementation, and evaluation procedures, enabling readers to implement their own new ideas effectively.
Reviews / Votes
This is an excellent text. It has brought together a wide range of activities and ideas which will make the work of the conservation educator (and in most cases any educator!) that much easier. Overall, this book should be required reading in all conservation education classes and indeed any teacher-training class. British Ecological Societys Teaching Ecology GroupMore details
