The Strategies for Ecology Education, Diversity and Sustainability program (SEEDS) is the flagship award-winning education program of the Ecological Society of America. Its mission is to diversify and advance the ecology profession through opportunities that stimulate and nurture the interest of underrepresented students to participate, and to lead in ecology.
The Doris Duke Conservation Scholars Program (DDCSP) works to increase the number of undergraduate students from underrepresented groups who choose to pursue coursework and careers in conservation. The program also creates space for important conversations about diversity and inclusion as it pertains to the conservation and environmental fields.
The Center for Biodiversity and Conservation at the American Museum of Natural History created Inclusive Conservation Community Initiative (ICON). Through a combined approach of research, mentoring, training, and outreach communication, and other activities, ICON supports individuals and organizations as they compile resources, build networks, communities of practice, new ideas, and pathways to conservation careers.
