Conserve me launches The Attenborough Group

Conserve me have created an opportunity for corporate companies and other organisations to help engage young people in science and also gain a better understanding of the future trends across the next generation to help open up the environmental job sector for upcoming graduates.

The Attenborough Group
A dynamic network for businesses, academia and public sector organisations to meet, share knowledge and build relationships from across the environmental sector, collectively promoting science education and the importance of scientific research to young people. The group actively engages with the next generation to gain a better understanding of their future thinking, to ensure the sector can enhance communicates of environmental career opportunities open to science graduates.

As the UK moves into a low carbon economy, there will be an increased demand for environmental jobs, therefore we need more young people studying science to fill these roles in the future. This group is able to promote research excellence, innovation and collectively have a stronger and more proactive voice to ensure young people understand where these future opportunities will become available and how they can reach them.

The Attenborough Group provides companies with shared knowledge through peer to peer networking across the environmental sector, the opportunity to run events and support campaigns for the target audience and initiate ways to collectively achieve change. The group also supports an organisation’s corporate social responsibility commitment, and raises their profile to future employees who are interested in future careers in the environmental sector.

If your company is interested in joining this group or you think a certain organisation would be beneficial in supporting this agenda, please email

We want to make this group a huge success to help the next generation of aspiring scientists reach their full potential and access the environmental career market of the future.
