This book is intended to guide conducting training workshops for nature conservationists to strengthen ethical and inclusive ways of engaging with local communities. Trainers are provided with a set of tools and approaches which aim to help trainees self-reflect on their work, discuss successes and shortcomings, and identify aspects to focus on in the future. This book also aims to provide a framework for trainers to foster open and constructive discussions throughout the course, centred on the conservation experiences of participants, while maintaining a focus on inclusive and ethical approaches.
The book is developed in partnership with the global Ethical Conservation Alliance and the Danube-Carpathian Programme (Lviv, Ukraine) for expert support and cooperation with protected areas, local communities, conservation/sustainable management agencies and local/regional authorities.
