Community-Based Conservation in Action | Helen Gibbons

Hi there, Nick here from Conservation Careers and welcome to the podcast.If you’ve ever wondered how conservation can be truly inclusive, collaborative and community-led — this episode is for you.Today I’m joined by Helen Gibbons, an expert in community-based conservation and our current Expert in Residence at Conservation Careers. With over 25 years of experience working for leading organisations like the Gorilla Fund, WWF, Greenpeace and the Maasai Mara Conservancies, Helen brings a wealth of insight into how conservation can and should work with people at its heart.Together, we explore what community-based conservation really means — not just in theory, but in practice. We talk about trust, respect, and partnerships — and why supporting communities to lead their own conservation efforts is often the key to lasting impact.Helen also shares stories from her incredible career, along with advice for people looking to work in this space — including the skills, experiences and mindset that really matter.It’s a conservation, community, and career episode.Enjoy.LinksCertificate in Community-Based ConservationHelen Gibbons on LinkedIn
