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!

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!

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

Evidence shows that getting close to wildlife for social media content doesn’t boost engagement and can harm conservation efforts 🌍🧪
