> Dear all,

> This is a reminder to please participate in our survey to look at attitudes
> and perceptions of professionals in the field of wildlife biology/ ecology/
> conservation in India in terms of career and funding opportunities. Kindly do
> take a few minutes to answer the brief questionnaire.

> Thanks!

> Wildlife biology, ecology and conservation-related research and activities
> are growing fields in India. Pressing problems like species extinctions,
> habitat loss, climate-change, and human-animal conflicts call for urgent
> attention, emphasising the need to build scientific capacity on these
> subjects to better understand natural systems and species. Many young Indians
> are keen to work and pursue a career in ecology and conservation. However,
> unlike countries in the West, ecology and conservation-related fields in
> India are a nascent and relatively smaller part of university education and
> jobs. We have compiled a set of questions through which we aim to examine the
> attitudes amongst students and practicing professionals in these fields,
> regarding opportunities and career prospects. We would really appreciate it
> if you could take some time off from your busy schedule to answer them.
> A brief informal survey was conducted by a group of MSc students from
> National Center for Biological Sciences in December 2010 along similar lines.
> We understand that some of you might have taken a similar survey before, and
> we apologize for the repeat. However, our survey expands on the basic
> information collected in the above survey. Further, we are trying to obtain a
> more nuanced and in-depth understanding of the perceived opportunities and
> constraints for careers in wildlife, ecology and conservation-related fields.
>
> The survey mostly comprises of objective-type questions, and will only take a
> few minutes of your time. We sincerely request you to contribute to this
> exercise and your participation in this effort is very valuable. With your
> help, we hope to better identify and highlight the issues faced by
> professionals in the fields of wildlife, ecology, and conservation in India.
> We plan to write this up as a report to policy makers in the Indian
> government, and as a peer-reviewed publication for the scientific community.
> We will also share the results of the survey with all those who participate.
> Please click here to take the survey.
> Alternatively, here is the link to the form
> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dDh1RjZ3d0FoLXlmZTRPOU1BaGFicGc6MQ#gid=0.
> We assure you that all information will be kept confidential and at no point
> will names, affiliations and individual responses be exposed.
> This survey will be open till 15th February 2012. Kindly send in your
> responses before this date.
> Thank you.
