Emerging Conservation Professionals Network
Emerging conservation professionals (ECPs) are those entering or thinking about entering the field of conservation. The Emerging Conservation Professionals Network (ECPN) assists with the transition from pre-program candidacy to graduate school and through to early career stages. We do this by producing targeted programming and resources, fostering a professional community for ECPs through local networks and online platforms, and connecting ECPs with educational and professional development opportunities.
As a Network within AIC, we aim to develop content that is of interest to ECPs working across the field of conservation. Our leadership is made up of ECPs from different career stages, Specialty Groups, training programs, and geographic locations.
