Conservation Discussion Group

Welcome to the CDG website! Join us on Tuesdays online and in-person in room BRC 225 from 3pm-4pm. Meeting Link which will work for all meetings. Find the Zoom link  here.

CDG’s goal is to provide a space for integrating diverse perspectives on approaches, knowledge systems, and philosophies associated with biological conservation through reading and discussing academic literature, media articles, and other publicly accessible materials.

We invite speakers and participants from many departments across UBC, and from inside and outside academia, to try to broaden our exposure to conservation ideas and practices. To give you an idea of conservation topics, last year we introduced the CDG/Conservation Science Initiative Spotlight series (which we plan to bring back) and addressed anti-racism in ocean sciences, and conservation across many scales of research.

We look forward to meeting you and sharing your thoughts!!
