The BP Conservation Programme is offering Future Conservationist Awards
of up to $12,500 to high potential teams who aim to develop their
skills through practical conservation projects. These awards are highly
competitive and winners are selected from amongst the highest quality
applications. There will be $250,000 worth of funding available for the
Future Conservationist Award winning projects in 2006.
Additional funding is also available to previous BPCP award winners
through Conservation Follow-up and Conservation Leadership Awards
(Conservation Follow-up and Conservation Leadership Awards).
A representative from each winning team will be invited to an
international training event organised by the BPCP to share ideas and develop
their skills, knowledge and contacts. Training for the whole team will
also be offered locally in relevant and specific technical skills.
Additionally, winning teams are able to access expertise from within each of
the five partner organisations and past winners. Programme staff are
also available to help with the implementation of projects, including
guidance required during the planning and team training stages.
Criteria
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; 3.) Contribute to the
long-term success of local conservation efforts; and 4.) Contribute to the
education and awareness of local stakeholders.
Applications will be accepted from teams initiating projects that meet
the eligibility criteria outlined below. These criteria are designed to
ensure that projects build the skills of all team members involved,
contribute to long-term sustainable conservation achievements, have clear
focused research objectives and build vital links between local
communities, conservationists, NGO and academic institutions and local
governments. Applications are evaluated by BPCP staff and partners, and
experts from other external organizations.
