conservation practitioners (64 women and 79 men) from 30 countries. Based on a survey of participants in 2021,skillsde- veloped at the workshop have played a part in the publication of c. 300 articles. For the first time, this issue of Oryx brings together the written work of CLP and Writing for Conservation alumni. The 10 articles are illustrative of the broad range of subjects that have attracted the critical atten- tion of workshop participants, from species (titi monkeys: Costa-Araújo et al., 2022;Silva et al., 2022;sperm whales: Avila et al., 2022;frogs: Barataetal., 2022; tigers: Yadav et al. 2022), to methods (arboreal camera trapping: Kaizer et al., 2022; using natural history collections to examine species richness:Aninta et al., 2022), the influence of rural–urbanmo- bility on consumption of wild meat (Torres et al., 2022)and the response of mammals to tourism (Barcelos et al., 2022). Our personal experience suggests there is a high de-
mand for writing courses, and other organizations and net- works now also offer resources and training for writing (e.g. AuthorAID, Nature Masterclasses, Tropical Biology Association). As the Writing for Conservation workshops can support only a limited number of aspiring authors each year, the Oryx editorial team has developed a freely available Writing for Conservation guide (Fisher, 2019). In addition to advice on writing, it contains guidance on designing and drafting publication-quality figures and managing bibliographies. We hope that all authors, regardless of their target publication, may find this resource useful. Writing is a skill for life, and a well-written article both sup- ports decisions affecting biodiversity and contributes to- wards personal and professional development.
The Writing for Conservation guide was supported by The Rufford Foundation (
rufford.org) and the John Spedan Lewis Foundation (
johnspedanlewisfoundation.org).
