Communicating findings and results of any scientific research to general public and policy makers is crucial to influence policy making and general public opinion in conservation. Popular articles in newspaper and magazines can bridge the gap between scientific community and general public. Hence, more and more conservation and wildlife biologists are using this platform to disseminate their findings and even opinions these days.
This week long workshop is aimed towards early career conservation/wildlife biologists and students who are looking for some helpful tips and directions on popular article writing.
To get most out of this workshop, it is encouraged that the participants have a specific issue in their mind and develop it during the workshop with the intent of having final draft at the end.
