Nature Positive Intern

This internship offers a valuable learning opportunity for someone interested in supporting the
private sector in halting and reversing nature loss for the benefit of people and the planet.

For years the business and nature narrative has focused on promoting the corporate targets of
No Net Loss (NNL) and Net Gain of biodiversity. More recently the concept of Nature Positive
has come to the fore bringing with it a flurry of corporate commitments to Nature Positive. The
Nature Positive Initiative defines Nature Positive as the achievement of a full recovery of
nature by 2050 starting with the halting and reversing of nature loss by 2030 on a 2020
baseline. Amongst those businesses committing to achieving Nature Positive there is often a
misunderstanding of what the concept is intending to communicate begging answers to the
following questions: How do the targets of NNL and Net Gain relate to Nature Positive? When can
a company claim to be contributing towards Nature Positive, if at all?

This internship offers you an opportunity to grow your knowledge of the business and nature
space. We will guide and assist you in learning about NNL, Net Gain and Nature Positive. You
will be expected to gather perspectives on what Fauna & Flora’s approach to Nature Positive
should be, from both within and without the organisation. Based on these findings and learnings
you will be expected to propose the shape of our corporate approach to Nature Positive.

Throughout this process you will get hands on experience in applying these concepts and others
related to business, biodiversity and nature in the context of our ongoing corporate
partnerships through participation in partnership meetings and the provision of input into
partnership deliverables, such as site review reports, biodiversity metrics and guidance
documents, to name a few. This opportunity will provide you with exposure to corporate
decision-making processes. Furthermore, it will enable you to develop your critical thinking,
networking, collaboration, facilitation, persuasion and project management skills.

Depending on your interests there may be the opportunity to shadow specific team members or
other teams to enable you to develop in these areas. You will be expected to build networks
both within and without Fauna & Flora while gaining insight into how an international NGO
such as ours works and the role we play in the business and nature context.

The closing date for applications is Monday, 26 August 2024. Interviews are
likely to take place during the week commencing Monday, 2 September 2024.
