Share our Call for Applications
The CLP has been helping young conservationists to
achieve their goals and move into positions of influence within the
conservation sector for more than 25 years. Every year we put out a call
for funding applications for Conservation Awards. These awards are
aimed at early-career conservationists (less than 5 years professional
experience in the conservation sector). Successful applicants will: 1.)
develop the knowledge, skills and abilities of team members; 2.)
implement a focused, high-priority conservation project combining
research and action; and 3.) contribute to the long-term success of
local conservation efforts.
Awards include:
- Future Conservationist Awards (up to US $15,000 each)
- Conservation Follow-up Awards (up to US $25,000 each) – available only to previous CLP Future Conservationist Award winners
- Conservation Leadership Awards (up to US $50,000 each) – available only to previous CLP Follow-up Award winners

All
teams that make it through the first round of reviews receive feedback
on their proposal. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact a
member of the CLP team more than two weeks before the application
deadline for advice on eligibility, project concept, methods and
activities. The CLP can also put teams in touch with local partner
offices or other experts who can provide additional advice.
A
representative from each award-winning team is invited to attend an
international training event organized by the CLP to share ideas,
develop skills and knowledge and network with their peers. Additionally,
winning teams are able to network with experts from within each of the
partner organizations and past winners. CLP team members are available
to help with project implementation, including guidance required during
the planning and team training stages.
