Unlocking the power
of social science for people and planet
Human Nature empowers conservation professionals, organisations and households to have a more positive impact on the planet through training, collaboration and support.
Introduction to Conservation Social Science (Jan 2022)
Social Scientists bring new ways of looking at the ecosystems which are fundamental to the health of our planet. Through completing this course, you will gain a solid foundation in social science disciplines and methods and how these can be usefully applied to conservation.
Is conservation social science the jigsaw piece you need?

About Me
I believe that humans don’t have to be part of the problem, they are the solution. I see a growing appetite in individuals and organisations to do better – the desire to make changes to how they go about life and business so we have a more harmonious relationship with the natural world.
“I completed the Introduction to Social Science for conservation course, this is an area I hadn’t had much involvement with previously in my marine science evidence role but is becoming increasingly important. The intense 3 day course has helped me both in an immediate impact on my thinking in day to day work such as running stakeholder engagement in projects and also in my longer term thinking in terms of how I can support MMO teams more strategically in social and behavioural work in the future.”
