QUICKIE E#10 Can you crowdfund nature conservation?!

Conservation Crossroads

In this week’s episode of #ConservationCrossroads we're continuing with our theme of conservation finance, and digging into the realm of crowdfunding. You may have heard of Kickstarter projects, or GoFundMe campaigns, but how much have you thought about crowdfunding’s contribution to conservation? We spoke with PhD candidate at the University of Queensland, Eduard Gallo, about a recently published study on Crowdfunding Biodiversity Conservation. Join the conversation on Twitter by tagging Carla @CarlaWildlife, Rachel @YumMusings or #ConservationCrossroads! Catch the media!
