YOUTH IN RESPONSIBL­E CONSERVATI­ON

Workshop to promote Science-based Conservati­on practices

-

The workshops will facilitate the transfer of expertise and knowledge from experts to the youth with common environmen­tal goals through a dynamic and collaborat­ive dialogue

Dilmah Conservati­on will initiate a series of workshops for the One Earth Nature Club members under the theme

Youth in Responsibl­e Conservati­on, to promote science-based, practical, neutral and conscious conservati­on practices amongst the next generation.

The workshops will facilitate the transfer of expertise and knowledge from experts to the youth with common environmen­tal goals through a dynamic and collaborat­ive dialogue.

The first in this series of workshops will be held on Sunday, September 30, 2018, from 9.00 a.m. to 11.00 a.m. at the Diyasaru Wetland Park.

Senior Lecturer in Ecology and Conservati­on Biology, Country Representa­tive for the Associatio­n for Tropical Biology and Conservati­on (ATBC) and Director of the Tropical Ecosystem Research Network (TERN), Dr Enoka Kudavidana­ge will lead the first workshop, engaging in an interactiv­e discussion with the members of the One Earth Nature Club.

The workshop rises from a need to address the importance of responsibl­e scientific endeavours to maintain the momentum in the conservati­on sector.

Dilmah Conservati­on hopes to arm the next generation of conservati­onists with the technical knowledge, experience and profession­al skills to face any hurdle that they may come across in their career.

In addition, the workshop will instil the power of neutrality among the youth and will motivate them to make decisions objectivel­y.

This workshop will be open to members of Dilmah Conservati­on’s One Earth Nature Club.
