Who values conservation education?
The Icon Education Roundtable event took place on 22 January 2020, bringing together stakeholders from across the conservation profession: employers, education providers, funders and representatives from heritage bodies across the UK. They were joined by individuals from across the globe who followed and contributed to the debate on Twitter (#IconRT) during and after the event.
This report summarises the key points raised during the debate and identifies a broad range of ideas and measures that are needed to support the continuing development of conservation education in the UK.
The report is not an end in itself, but a means of capturing current thinking and exploring the partnerships that will be needed to build a resilient and ambitious training environment for the next generation of conservation professionals.
