LGBTQIA+ experiences in conservation survey data

We anonymously surveyed members and non-members of the LGBTQIA+ community
of conservation students and professionals in North America to explore
participants’ lived experiences in conservation regarding safety,
belonging, and inclusion. Our 737 responses included 10% that identified
as genderqueer, gender nonconforming, questioning, nonspecific,
genderfluid, transgender woman, agender, transgender man, two spirit
Indigenous, or intersex (hereafter gender expansive), and 29% bisexual,
queer, lesbian, gay, asexual, pansexual, omnisexual, questioning, or
non-heterosexual (hereafter queer+). Data also include results of a
non-response survey of 157 individuals who chose not to complete our the
full survey, but answered basic demographic questions to determine
non-response bias.
