Application for the 2022 Whitley Awards and Grants is ongoing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every year, The Whitley Fund for Nature (WFN) offers annual Whitley Awards to effective grassroots conservationists working across the Global South. These awards are both an international profile prize and a form of project funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To apply successfully, kindly read through this piece to learn the full details about this award- the eligibility criteria, requirements, application deadline, and more. The table below will give you an overview of what you should expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Whitley Awards are for dynamic mid-career conservationists who are leading wildlife conservation projects in developing countries. Winners tend to be nationals of the country in which they are working, and are looking to scale up work that is proven to be effective and would benefit from further funding and profile boost. To be eligible, projects must involve local communities at the grassroots level and deliver practical action that is founded on science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Find, recognize, and the fund has proven grassroots conservation leaders in resource-poor, biodiversity-rich countries. Champion and repeat fund the most effective winners. Support the replication and growth of effective conservation solutions. Raise awareness of the work of winners and spread the message that we can all make a difference to the conservation of wildlife and wild places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some exceptions, for example, long-term residency (15+ years) or commitment to country\/region\/building capacity of local team members for future leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Good communicators and passionate leaders<\/strong> \u2013 people who will inspire others and importantly, who will collaborate and share results.

Individuals working in isolation and team\/joint entries are not eligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Projects that are based on scientific evidence and understanding<\/strong> \u2013 this can be in the leader, expertise on the team, or via partners\/collaboration. Work involving (and benefitting) the local community and stakeholders is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Actions that will have clear, measurable outcomes<\/strong> \u2013 WFN looks for applications that have given careful thought to what indicators can be measured to evidence impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sustainable projects<\/strong> \u2013 Whitley wants the work to continue into the future, well past the Whitley Award. Successful proposals will demonstrate long-term planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Work that needs publicity<\/strong> \u2013 ones that will do well if \u2018doors can be opened via the media and enhanced recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Interested applicants must download the application form via the given website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click on the BUTTON <\/strong>below to apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhitley Awards and Grants- Eligibility Criteria<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
