Our new paper is out in @peopleandnature.bsky.social 🌿 We found that wildlife images do shape emotional responses, with stronger positive emotions linked with stronger conservation intentions, supporting a movement towards #ConservationOptimism in public messaging doi.org/10.1002/pan3...

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! #ICCB2025
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!
Liz Foote@footesea.bsky.social · last yr.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
Arts and craft party or supplies for our workshop 'Designing Social Media Guidelines for Conservation' at #ICCB2025 tomorrow?
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 #auspol #ausnews
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 🌍🧪 #wildlife #influencer
