The Conservation Leadership Programme aims to contribute to long-term environmental conservation and sustainable development in priority areas by encouraging and engaging potential leaders in biodiversity conservation, and providing opportunities for them to gain practical skills and experience. The Programme offers continuation funding, which is available only to previous CLP and formally BPCP) award winners, in the form of Conservation Follow-up and Conservation Leadership Awards. Applications for continuation funding will only be considered once a full report has been received for the initial projects.
To apply for a 2008 Conservation Follow-up Award or Conservation Leadership Award project teams must submit a completed application form in English to the Programme Manager by 23rd November 2007 .
Conservation Follow-up Award:
Conservation Follow-up Awards are aimed at exceptional teams with individuals who want to address a conservation issue raised by recommendations in a project the programme has previously supported. The project should allow team members to go beyond basic surveying, analysis and awareness-raising, and develop their networking, education, decision-making, policy, communication and conservation leadership skills and experience. There are approximately 5 of these awards on offer annually, each worth up to $25,000 each.
Conservation Leadership Award:
The idea of the Conservation Leadership Award is to enable teams that have been supported in the past to consolidate (or connect together) their previous project successes by creating something longer-term, which is more practical and conservation oriented than research oriented. These awards aim to provide more substantial resources to first-rate innovative and original projects that build long-term capacity for conservation in the project area, whilst offering the team invaluable developmental experience. Future Conservationist and Conservation Follow-up Awardees are both eligible to apply for Conservation Leadership Awards - first-time award winners that haven't received a Conservation Follow-up Award will need to show that they have gone through the process of building on their initial work, most likely over a number of years, with the support of other resources. Two awards are offered per year, each up to $50,000 USD.
