Resources to help you on your Nature Positive mission!
Our Student Ambassador Team have been hard at work developing a Welcome Pack, Toolkits of campus-based actions and accompanying Workbook Forms to record your progress during your journey. You will also find social media resources and other information to inspire action for biodiversity on your campus and within your community, wherever you are.
Welcome to the Student Ambassador programme!
We’re excited to have you on board and we would like to share with you resources to support you during the programme. The first thing to do is download or read our Welcome Pack – this is an introduction to the Student Ambassador Programme, providing general information about your role as an ambassador and about the Nature Positive Universities (NPU) initiative.

Here is some suggested text that you might want to use in your post (but of course feel free to add your own thoughts too):
“I am excited to announce that I’ve been selected as a Student Ambassador with Nature Positive Universities! This programme empowers students from higher education institutions with the practical knowledge to tackle activities driving the loss of biodiversity in their university and campus and I’m thrilled to join this inspiring network. #generationrestoration #naturepositive”
Celebrate International Days
International Days can be a great opportunity to highlight some of your recent actions or raise awareness on a particular issue. One of our Ambassadors, Favour Ochuwa from University of Benin Nigeria has developed a range of social media cards for you to use to celebrate days relevant to our programme.
Feel free to use these, and add your own photos, words, and stories to your posts on social media to encourage others to take action on the issue.
