Webinar
Stakeholder engagement in conservation.
Creating meaningful engagement for better conservation outcomes.
At the heart of effective conservation lie the principles of inclusivity and collaboration. Starting from our shared commitment to preserving and nurturing precious natural landscapes, this webinar offers inspiration for Protected Areas and Parks, conservation planning authorities, NGOs, and all individuals dedicated to safeguarding our planet’s biodiversity to engage with other people.
By actively involving stakeholders from diverse backgrounds and perspectives, we unlock a wealth of knowledge, creativity and passion that is essential for implementing sustainable solutions. Participatory approaches not only foster a sense of ownership and responsibility among local communities but also harness the collective wisdom needed to address complex conservation challenges. How can we start a constructive dialogue and create participatory engagement opportunities in order to reach better conservation outcomes?
This webinar offers practical strategies and insights from experts for implementation on the ground. Each speaker brings a unique perspective that will inspire and inform practitioners about a more inclusive and participatory conservation paradigm. It is designed for anyone passionate about conservation and eager to explore new avenues for collaboration and engagement.

Kristian Bjørnstadt, Director at Norske Parker, Norway
Creating connections among people and nature is highly rewarding when it works. However, it’s most often challenging. In multi-functional landscapes, there are several competing interests and values at the same time. So, how do we consolidate these in practical processes? Based on experiences from establishing regional parks in Norway, Kristian will share some lessons learnt from bottom-up processes.
