Designed for those eager to collaborate effectively, it offers a detailed Design Thinking framework customized for conservation efforts, emphasizing the importance of placing the natural environment at the forefront of every project.

The book provides a step-by-step guide to planning and deploying participatory conservation workshops, offering practical tools and templates that can be tailored to any project scope. By allowing multiple worldviews to co-exist, it invites conservation managers, grassroots groups, and educators to rethink traditional methods and embrace a more inclusive, decolonial perspective. With its focus on adaptability and collective action, it serves as a guide for those committed to making a meaningful difference in the regeneration of our natural environment.
