My research is about Biodiversity Conservation Education

I enquire about teaching practices in this domain, and more specifically teachers who conducted biodiversity conservation initiatives with their students. I will notably look at how teachers implement those initiatives in their lessons, and enquire about the dilemmas they encounter when teaching about this topic. I am interested in discussing how such practices can develop in the context of formal school education, to support a more sustainable future for our planet. I am very curious about the role of teachers in sustainability education, and more broadly, about the role of education to support sustainability and the green transition.
