This guidance note supports governments, project implementers, and wildlife management practitioners in developing behaviour change strategies for conservation interventions, such as those combating illegal and unsustainable wildlife trade, mitigating human-wildlife conflict, and promoting sustainable nature-based tourism.
It sets out foundational definitions of behaviour and behaviour change, and outlines core behaviour change approaches relevant to conservation practice. Building on this, the note presents a practical three-step pathway for designing a behaviour change strategy, enabling practitioners to develop and implement behaviourally informed interventions in a structured way.
