All over the world governmental and non-governmental organisations initiate and implement projects dedicated to the conservation of natural resources. Such projects are ideally run by biologists who have knowledge and understanding of biodiversity related issues as well as managerial abilities. By the present spring school, expert knowledge, skills, and practical experience related to conservation project management will be taught to advanced students of biology and related subjects, to biologists at the beginning of their professional career, and to junior project managers from Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Teachers will be professionals and practitioners of biodiversity-related institutions of Frankfurt am Main but also from institutions outside. We aim at providing an insight in managerial and project management aspects of professional fields for biologists and to promote future managers and leaders of conservation projects.
