About the Topic
How can we, as environmentalists, inspire others to make small changes in their behavior to benefit conservation? Many coastal communities depend on fishing as their primary source of protein and as a livelihood, which could prevent them from adopting more sustainable options if they cannot see a direct benefit. If we, as environmentalists, want to change other people’s behaviors towards sustainable choices, it is imperative that we meet people on their level. In this lecture, Silvia Bor, Marine Program Officer at WildAid, will present the three E’s to drive behavior change, discuss some of the ways we can create incentives for adopting eco-friendly measures, and provide case studies from her work with WildAid’s marine program in Indonesia and Ecuador that demonstrate the success of this approach.
