Conducting Conservation Projects in the Field: Education, Culture & Ethics |
1.00 |
What makes a successful conservation project? Is it enough to have thorough scientific understanding of the ecological and biological threats facing a species or habitat or do we need to devote significant focus to the human dimension of conservation? Over what time frame should we consider a project successful? What goes into defining a project as being sustainable over the long run so that the perpetuation of the species is guaranteed? How does human economic well-being relate to conservation 1:We improve our conservation strategies by integrating traditional knowledge and practices into the project, and thereby make the project more appropriate for the area and local culture. By cultivating informed, supportive, and involved local communities, the root cause of some of our most pressing conservation problems can be addressed by many more people. With more people involved in the struggle to save endangered species, our projects are more likely to be successful and sustainable. |

Conducting Meetings: Fundamentals of Conducting Meetings |
0.67 |
Meetings allow groups to function, define goals, contribute to participants’ morale and status, as well as develop organizational culture. During meetings, participants are able to exchange information and update one another on current events. When information is shared among participants, they are able to work together to create ideas and solutions, and make decisions to progress toward the group’s goals.
In order for a group to function effectively, participants must be working toward accomplishing a common goal. Meetings allow participants to define goals as a group, which helps them agree on the terms of the goals, such as how and when they’ll be accomplished.
When the meeting leader encourages input from participants, employee morale increases. Encouraging communication satisfies the participants’ desire to play an active role in the organization. When participants understand that their opinions are valued, they feel that they’ve contributed to their organization.
Meetings also help develop the organization’s culture when meeting leaders demonstrate the values and attitudes preferred by the organization. Leaders display organizational values in meetings to reinforce the behavior they desire from participants.
In this course you will learn to: identify the benefits, types and misconceptions about meetings, plan a meeting, participate in a meeting, and close a meeting. |

This comprehensive webinar will include a discussion about:
- A step-by-step approach on how to plan and conduct workplace investigations

A conflict of interest is a clash between personal interests and work requirements. It occurs when an individual’s personal interests, whether financial, professional, or social, including those of family and friends, compromise his or her judgment, decision, or actions in the workplace.
