Our Mission – Lonely Conservationists

Lonely Conservationists

But together, we aren't so lonely anymore!

Our Mission

Here in the Lonely Conservationists community, we pride ourselves on innovating and delivering positive changes for the planet, but now we are striving to create positive change for ourselves too.

In the blogs we discuss an array of hurdles we face as conservationists from around the globe. Together as a community, we have determined the following missions for the Lonely Conservationist community to achieve which encompass themes of community, communication and mental health:

To ensure long term community building based on a foundation of empathy, education and empowerment
To give a voice to passionate conservationists who are doing everything they can to enact positive change for our planet
To actively listen to the voices of conservationists in the community to give their voices purpose and value
To help conservationists overcome impostor syndrome by valuing them as part of a close knit community and for the work they are doing for our planet.

Lonely Conservationists is the start of a revolution in the conservation industry. By connecting people who are often working in extremely difficult and isolated areas of the world, and allowing individual voices to be heard, Jessie, LC Founder, has created a community like no other. It not only inspires those who are working towards becoming conservationists, but supports those who are actively working in the field and those who have recently left, and shows us that we are never alone.
Many individuals in this field struggle with various mental illnesses as a result of trauma during field work, isolation, and the extremes that we are willing to face in order to pursue our passions, and Jessie is working hard not only to bring a “taboo” topic to light, but also to find a way to provide support and help others to find a way forward.

This incredible community is aimed at supporting conservationists of ALL kinds. It’s a tough industry where many are taken for granted, used abused, bullied, undervalued, and all the passion in the world can only get you so far without support.
Lonely Conservationists shares the stories of people all over the world trying to make a difference, offering support, community and more. Jessie, the founder, is putting her heart and soul into building a platform that is genuinely useful and full of compassion and awesome people. It’s made me realise that even if I’m not directly working in conservation right now, my actions still have an impact and I’m not a failure.
We are all conservationists at heart, even if we are burned out, sick, or don’t have enough money to pursue it as much as we feel we should. Follow them on insta and check out their blog. You’ll feel less lonely!

Lonely Conservationists has been a revelation for me as an undergrad in my final year of an environmental science degree. It has sparked a real passion in me and has inspired me to want to do great things.
With all of the submissions from fellow conservationists, it’s provided me with an insight and unbiased, un-glorified perspective of this work force, as it is generally perpetuated on social media to be something completely other than what it actually is. I love what this group has done for me, including able to network with like minded people and continue to be inspired by people wanting to save the world.
