The Conservation Leadership Programme (CLP) is accepting applications for the 2021 Team Awards. 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.
