Communicating Nature Conservation

This is a handbook that provides practical information about communication and partnership building for nature conservation. It introduces basic concepts in communication, explains how and when communication can play a role in policy making, lists instruments and methods for developing communication activities and building partnerships, illustrates with examples and case studies, and provides checklists of do's and don'ts. It pays particular attention to the specific conditions and problems facing conservationists in the transition societies in Central and Eastern Europe, and provides them with instruments to improve communication with relevant intended groups.
