[Call for Applications] 2024 Conservation Leadership Programme (CLP) Team Awards
Do you know of any early-career conservationists who need funding to support their work conserving the natural world?
The Conservation Leadership Programme (CLP) is now accepting applications for the 2024 Team Awards. You don’t need to have an academic background, as long as you can demonstrate a commitment to and knowledge about your species.
They are particularly encouraging applications from marginalised groups including but not limited to indigenous peoples, women and gender nonconforming individuals, people living in the community where the project is based and those working on data-deficient species. If you are the beginning of your conservation career (less than 5 years paid experience) – we want to support you!
Future Conservationist Awards are worth up to $15,000 each and support projects in low- and middle-income countries and some high-income islands in the Caribbean and Pacific. Funding will enable early-career conservationists to conduct scientific research, encourage and promote pro-conservation attitudes and deliver tangible results to better conserve and manage the natural world. Each project must have at least three members and all team members must have less than five years of paid conservation experience. Projects can last 3-12 months and must focus on a threatened species. In addition to project funding, CLP will invite one member of each award-winning team to their international training course where they will gain a range of conservation management and leadership skills as well as build their professional network.
Past recipients of CLP Team Awards can also apply for a Follow-Up Award (worth up to $25,000).
The application deadline is October 10, 2024.
