The Conservation Leadership Programme (CLP) is inviting people to apply for the 2014 Conservation Awards. The awards are funding grants aimed early-career conservationists looking to develop skills and knowledge while implementing a high priority conservation project.
CLP has been helping young conservationists achieve their goals for more than 25 years. The Conservation Awards are funding applications aimed at conservationists with less than than 5 years professional experience in the conservation sector. Successful applicants will: develop the knowledge, skills and abilities of team members; implement a focused, high-priority conservation project combining research and action; and contribute to the long-term success of local conservation efforts.
Awards include:
Future Conservationist Awards (approximately 20 awards up to US $15,000 each)
Conservation Follow-up Awards (approximately six awards up to US $25,000 each, but available only to previous CLP Future Conservationist Award winners)
Conservation Leadership Awards (one award of US $50,000, available only to previous CLP Follow-up Award winners)
The application deadline for all awards is 11 November 2013. Those applying for a Conservation Follow-up or Conservation Leadership Award must submit a logical framework to the CLP for review by 1 October 2013. Based on this review, applicants will be advised whether they should submit a full proposal.
Award winners will be announced in early April 2014.
How to apply
The CLP awards are aimed at early-career conservationists (with no more than 5 years professional experience in the conservation sector) living and working in Africa, Asia, east/south-east Europe, the Middle East, the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean.
Countries designated by the World Bank as ‘high-income economies’ and countries with US Sanctions are not eligible for CLP support, except for some high-income economies located in tropical areas of high biological diversity (including the Pacific and Caribbean islands).
Applicants are encouraged to contact a member of the CLP team well before the application deadline for advice on project eligibility, methods and project activities.
