Foundation: Environmental Fellowship for Mid-career Conservationists
Deadline:
8 January 2019
Applicants

Conservation Fellowship which is an environmental leadership program that
emphasizes market-based approaches to conservation.
The
Fellowship is delivered by a faculty of experts who work closely with each
carefully selected cohort of Fellows to explore innovative ways to address
conservation challenges. The curriculum uses a case study approach, where
participants evaluate market-driven conservation practices through interactive
discussions, systems-thinking exercises, and peer-learning sessions.
The
program covers leadership, communication, business and finance principles, and
impact measurement.
The
in-residence program will be held in Bellingham, Washington from June 30 to
July 31, 2019.
Benefits
Each
Fellow receives a $6,000 stipend and housing for the month of the program.
