Though well represented in volunteering, education and entry-level work in the field of conservation, you’ll find less women holding positions of authority at a level where decision making occurs. In fact, in most rooms where conservation decisions are being made, you’ll find women are the minority.
The Advancing Women in Conservation initiative aims not only to support the advancement of women into leadership roles, but to foster culture of respect for women working in these roles, seeking to empower and develop women as leaders within the conservation community.
AWIC is a chance for women from all fields conservation (NGO, government, academia, industry, etc) from all over Canada to come together to address challenges, discuss solutions, enhance leadership skills, and develop a strong, nurturing community for women working in a field where the roles of women have been traditionally downplayed.
