EEI conversation workshop.

Join the El-Erian Institute of Behavioural Economics and Policy workshop

Designed for conservation practitioners across disciplines, this mini-conference fosters collaborative learning and provides practical experience using behavioural science tools for planning and executing behaviour change interventions in Conservation field work.

The second day offers more academic learning, through experts’ discussions about recent evidence in Behavioural Conservation work worldwide.

We will be examining the academic aspects of behavioural science for conservation where we wish to identify the emerging themes and evidence gaps in the behaviour and conservation space, and provide a space for exchanging ongoing work and developing collaborations.

Themes include rewilding, ecological restoration, One Health, human-wildlife conflicts, illegal wildlife trade, wildlife economies, and community-based conservation.
