In Practice issue 121: Diversity, Accessibility and Capacity (September 2023)
Within this In Practice issue, we covered several different topics ranging from disability and neurodiversity, to capacity and recruitment, to how community networks can support ecologists and environmentalists.
State of the Profession Report 2025
This survey was provided to membership to understand more about the direction of professional practice and current concerns and opportunities, as well as how it feels to be a professional ecologist or environmental manager in 2025.
We saw similar themes to previous reports where physical and mental well-being was impacted from work.
