Easily search, find and access high-quality, free or low cost, training materials to help conservation practitioners understand and effectively use conservation social science.
This Training Library was initiated as a result of a 2021 gap analysis of existing social sciences training resources available online, as documented in the peer-reviewed paper "Gap analysis of social science resources for conservation practice" (https://doi.org/10.1111/cobi.14463).
The library is currently curated and maintained by the ConSoSci Partnership on an ongoing basis. All resources in this library are reviewed and verified by ConSoSci members to ensure each meets a minimum set of quality standards. This searchable database contains over 449 open-access resources designed to support effective, ethical, and equitable conservation practice.
