- Raise awareness and public understanding of ecological careers, their relevance and importance, breadth, and diversity, and show that anybody can become an ecologist
- Share how individuals can take action to benefit the environment, themselves, and society
- Increase the ability of others to deliver the above aims through outreach and engagement activities
Projects should start from early December 2024 to early June 2025 and be completed within 12 months of the start date.
