Applications for the 2016 Conservation
Leadership Programme (CLP) Conservation Team Awards are now open! CLP aims to
advance biodiversity conservation globally by building the leadership
capabilities of early-career conservation professionals working in high-priority
places with limited capacity to address conservation issues. This partnership
initiative, including BirdLife International, Fauna & Flora International
and the Wildlife Conservation Society, has been helping young conservationists
across the world achieve their goals for 30 years.
“I have
found every step of my relationship with the CLP to be life changing. Through
the CLP, I have met and received mentorship from seasoned conservation
professionals that have in no small measures added immeasurable value to my
career far beyond my expectations.” Fidelis
