Case studies are recognized as an important tool for conservation teaching and learning, illustrating the complexity of real conservation cases and conservation practice, promoting professional and process skills in students and highlighting the connections between science, policy, and practice. Several initiatives are focusing on developing and disseminating case studies specifically in the field of conservation and sustainability, such as the Network of Conservation Educators and Practitioners, Michigan Sustainability Cases, the National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center, and the Case Studies in the Environment journal.
