With standing room only, @meg-shaw.bsky.social talked us through ways to responsibly increase engagement in wildlife conservation images. My fav tips: avoid human-animal interactions and no need to stick to mammal pics only - similar engagement across a range of taxa!

Loved the presentation by one of our valued ConsMark @scbconsmark.bsky.social members @footesea.bsky.social at #ICCB2025 ! Proof that marketing can be used for social and environmental good!
Stoked to see so many #ICCB2025 delegates posting here! 🤙 Appreciate the opportunity to present in the Participatory & Citizen Science session on behalf of my team; I shared some takeaways on volunteer engagement & retention within a koala citizen science context. And some memes.

If you’re into how we communicate conservation—through social marketing, behavior change, or social science—you might be a Conservation Marketer already. 👀

Come find us at #ICCB2025! The Conservation Marketing Working Group have great events (plus lunch!) Let’s connect 🌿 @scbconsmark.bsky.social

Kicked off #ICCB2025 with our forum on social media guidelines for conservation. Big thanks to Emily McLeod & Doug Gimesy for sparking thoughtful discussion. Key Qs: Could your post cause harm? If it needs a caption to justify it—should you post it? #ConservationMarketing #ConSocSci

A major report reveals that the environment is among the top 5 issues on the minds of voters, no matter who they vote for 🌍🧪

“This survey reveals not just what Australians think about biodiversity, but also how deeply we care about protecting it,” @meg-shaw.bsky.social

This week, a controversial US influencer has been publicly condemned after filming herself carrying a baby wombat away from its mother.

Evidence shows that getting close to wildlife for social media content doesn’t boost engagement and can harm conservation efforts 🌍🧪

Will the Anthony Albanese Government give the community what they want? A new study has revealed that 75% of Australians want strengthened environmental laws to protect nature, and only 4% are opposed.
