When: Thursday, 26 March, 09:00 – 12:30
Where: Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (Alfred-Kowalke-Str. 17,
10315 Berlin)
Workshop organisers: Diogo Verissimo, Ewan MacDonald
Human behaviour is at the heart of many problems in conservation, and so
understanding peoples behaviours and how to influence them is of core
importance for conservation practitioners. Social marketing provides a
framework for the application of marketing tools and techniques to influence
the behaviours of the target audience for the benefit of wider society. Social
marketing approaches have been demonstrated to be effective across
multiple domains including public health, safety and the environment, and
increasingly in wildlife conservation.
The space is limited to 20 participants (first-come-first served).
Student workshop fee: 50 Euro
Regular workshop fee: 70 Euro
Participation in the workshop is not included in the conference fee, but had to
be booked during online registration. Remaining tickets can be purchased at
the registration desk, subject to availability.
