Collaborative Emplace #1

My part in our Emplace contribution is an informational brochure. I got to this product by conducting interviews at Southern Illinois University of Edwardsville. I asked students straightforward questions such as their involvement in conservation activities, where they got their information about these opportunities, as well as other questions to gauge their knowledge about the topic.

Figure 1: When asked the question above, “these events” meaning conservation activities, 9 out of 9 interviewees agreed with the statement; coming to an unanimous decision.

Based on the results of my interviews I came to the conclusion that there isn’t enough publicity around conservation. It is hard for young adults to learn about and engage in these activities when they don’t know about when, where, or even how it is taking place. Therefore, I will be creating an informational brochure that will contain resources to point young adults in the direction of volunteer opportunities, internships, activities, as well as overall knowledge about conservation.
