POSITION SUMMARY
There are multiple, diverse strategies employed globally to conserve biodiversity, but assessments of conservation progress and performance almost universally focus on national parks and other protected areas. To advance scientific understanding and inform conservation decision-making, this project will research, document, and describe conservation systems beyond protected areas.
The Social Science team in the Moore Center for Science at Conservation International seeks a detail-oriented intern to assist with global database construction and management.
The intern will:
- Research, compile, and manage spatial records and attribute data of area-based conservation systems
- Review literature and legal documents to understand the restrictions and rights under each management scheme, as well as data sharing permissions and sources
- Conduct statistical analysis and spatial analysis to support the project as needed
- Generate summary statistics and maps to illustrate the patterns and trends of conservation areas as needed
