Social Conservationists

Did you know we have mental health resources on our website? If you're truly lonely in conservation, we are here to help in every way from normalising your lived experiences to finding someone to help you no matter where you are in the world.
For this week's throwback blog, I'd like to pay respects to a very special blog, and that is the story by @the.jade.heron.
Have you ever met another Lonely Conservationist from this community irl? Let me know in the comments!
Just incase nobody has told you recently, we believe in you, we value you, and you are capable of great things 💚🌿💪
Hearing your feedback on my writing always feels like a warm hug. The stories we tell in this community are so raw and vulnerable and open us up for judgement, anxiety and fear. I know that blog authors feel this every week, as do the authors in the Secret Life of Conservationists. The reason that we all continue to share and be open with the community, is that we are always heard and welcomed in with open arms.
I love seeing the authors get their hands on their books because they have worked so hard to get it there! Like my impostor syndrome with How to Conserve Conservationists, many of the authors have impostor syndrome about their newfound authorship, so please join me in celebrating these amazing people and their stories which add to the narrative of why we need to be cherishing the people who help to preserve our natural world 💚🌱💪
I thought that on the weeks that we have no new blogs, I can do a throwback to an older one. This story has particularly gotten lost as it wasn't the original story that @nayla.azmii posted.
It actually made my night last night to see that people are standing up for themselves and others by calling out unethical conservation "jobs" for their lack of pay and exploitation. If we stop tolerating them, then hopefully they will cease to exist before too long. I've never felt so revolutionary or powerful as a community before and I'm so proud of all of you for walking confidently (even if scared on the inside) in a new direction of conservation!
I'd love for more of the community to contribute to photos and blogs so please send over your photos of yourself alone in nature or your conservation journey and let me celebrate you with the community! 💪🌱💚
