    Conservation Psychology; Lizzie Francolini

    Lizzie Francoloni currently works as a therapist using Conservation and the outdoors as a therapeutic tool. After working in the social sector for many years, Lizzie retrained as a conservationist at Bristol University and it was soon obvious to her that she could combine these two elements, after quickly realising that conservation is a social issue. Episode 8 is the final episode of The Hive, and for the whole of this episode, Lizzie joined us to discuss how Conservation Psychology can be introduced at all levels of the work carried out within our sector. For those just joining the podcast, there are 7 other fascinating episodes for you to enjoy, covering a range of topics which could apply to those working in conservation, across the world!
