Agricultural Biodiversity Intern

4 months ago


Cambridge Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom Fauna & Flora Full time

Start Date: August 2024
Duration of Contract: 3 months
Location: Fauna & Flora, Cambridge.
Current policy offers partial remote working with the UK

Founded in 1903, Fauna & Flora International (FFI) is the world’s longest established international conservation organisation. Our vision is to create a sustainable future for the planet where biodiversity is conserved by the people living closest to it. We aim to do this through the conservation of threatened species and ecosystems worldwide, choosing solutions that are sustainable, based on sound science and take account of human needs. We have become a trusted entity in the world of conservation. Today FFI is active in over 40 countries.

On-farm biodiversity is key for providing ecosystem services within farmlands, as well as contributing to the resilience of biodiversity within the wider landscape. There is a growing body of research on how certain farmland management practices can support more on-farm biodiversity, and the beneficial impacts that this can provide to farmers (e.g., pollination). However, findings can vary greatly across studies, making it difficult to identify which agricultural practices can effectively increase biodiversity on farms. During this internship you will review the current knowledge, engage with in-country teams to capture their experiences, and develop management recommendations to help farmers to adopt practices which support more biodiversity on their farms, and so contributing to more ecologically resilient and biodiverse landscapes.

This internship will help you strengthen your skills in information synthesis and critical thinking, where you will work closely with agriculture-focused colleagues to develop guidance on what to consider when designing interventions for improving on-farm biodiversity. You’ll learn about the practicalities of implementing conservation projects in the field by interacting with agriculture staff from in-country teams and develop communication skills by engaging in meetings and developing and disseminating your findings (e.g. by developing recommendations, presenting results).

During this internship, you will have the opportunity to collaborate and work within the wider People & Nature team, by attending monthly meetings and discussions. Working within an international conservation organisation, you will learn from ongoing projects across the globe, to gain experience in biodiversity conservation within agricultural landscapes.

We are looking for a candidate who is passionate about on-farm biodiversity and biodiversity-friendly agricultural approaches and has a strong interest in learning and knowledge exchange. You must be a team player, with the ability to develop and work on your own initiative and have strong interpersonal skills and consideration for working with individuals from diverse cultures and backgrounds.

Note that this internship has been designed to create a professional development opportunity for people who are new to the conservation sector. Therefore, applicants should have less than two years’ paid or unpaid experience in the conservation sector (not including academic work).

This role is not eligible for sponsorship for a Skilled Worker Visa.

The closing date for applications is 14 June 2024.
