About the Organization:

Conservation Leadership Programme (CLP) is a conservation partnership. Their vision is to empower young conservationists from around the globe to lead and effect change for a sustainable world and a better future for all life on Earth. Over time, the programme has evolved to address changing conservation needs, and has become an international capacity building programme supporting young conservationists, the majority of whom are working in their own countries, to undertake applied biodiversity projects in less developed countries.

Conservation Leadership Programme (CLP) Team Awards 2021

CLP is delighted to be accepting applications to our 2021 Team Awards, via our online portal. The awards target exceptional teams of early-career conservationists leading high-priority projects across the world.

The CLP Team Awards are a competitive process through which CLP aims to identify, recognise and empower rising stars in conservation, who work mainly in the developing world.

Awards are granted to teams undertaking high-priority projects that involve not just research but also practical actions and community outreach to promote pro-conservation attitudes and achieve tangible, effective and long-lasting conservation solutions.

Awards

Through the new online application portal, eligible applicants can apply for one of three types of award:

• Future Conservationist Awards (up to $15,000 per project)
• Conservation Follow-Up Awards (up to $25,000 per project; available only to previous recipients of a Future Conservationist Award)
• Conservation Leadership Award (up to $50,000 per project; available only to previous recipients of a Follow-Up Award).

Benefits

• The award-winning teams will benefit from a project grant as well as global recognition for their exceptional work in conservation.
• All team members will have opportunities to build connections with peers and access expert mentorship through the CLP Alumni Network.
• Individuals from winning teams are also invited to participate in international, regional and online training courses to develop their conservation knowledge and skills.
• The international Conservation Management & Leadership course is particularly renowned among CLP alumni.

Eligibility

• Applicants must propose projects that support the conservation of species listed as Data Deficient, Vulnerable, Endangered or Critically Endangered on the global IUCN Red List.
• Projects must take place in an eligible country, be led (or co-led) by a national of one of these countries, and involve at least three team members.
• Projects submitted for Future Conservation Awards should last for three to 12 months.

What happens after you apply?

Once you submit your application, it will be reviewed by the CLP Management Team who will check that both the project and team meet the eligibility criteria for funding. If your application is eligible, it will then be reviewed by conservation experts who will score your project proposal based on its feasibility, contribution to conservation, and capacity development of the teams. Decisions will be made in March 2021 by the CLP Award Selection Committee and the winners are expected to be announced in April 2021.

Applications for Future Conservationist Awards must be submitted using the online platform by 23:59pm GMT on 23 October 2020.
