SUMMARY

Conservation Nation Academy resources are designed to promote a sense of inclusion in wildlife science and conservation careers. Therefore, it will be very helpful to know what your students’ perceptions of conservation and conservationists are before introducing them to careers and counter-stereotypical role models through our activities. This lesson plan offers you several options for doing so. And if you can repeat this lesson after doing some more of the Conservation Nation Academy lessons and compare the results, we would love to hear about ways that your students’ conceptual understanding of conservationists has changed. You will find all the links you need in the lesson plan below.
