Conservation Social Science Capacity-Building (A)

Biodiversity conservation is a social enterprise, yet social science capacity within the conservation community remains limited. This project will build upon the work of WWF and the Society for Conservation Biology's Social Science Working Group (SCB SSWG) by developing and disseminating social science tools and resources for conservation practitioners. The project will produce an online social science glossary, strengthen the global network of SSWG Ambassadors, and enrich the SSWG website.

Requirements: degree in social science or a related field; excellent writing skills; familiarity with biodiversity conservation in developing countries. Web skills preferred, especially related to wiki functionality in ColdFusion.

Stipend: Unpaid

Due date for CV and cover letter: April 1, 2008 (include internship title and number in subject line)
