Are you a conservation leader working tirelessly to protect amphibians and their habitats in the Global South? The Whitley Awards offer a unique opportunity to secure funding, gain international recognition, and significantly amplify the impact of your conservation efforts.

What is a Whitley Award?
The Whitley Awards are awarded annually to exceptional conservationists. Each award provides £50,000 GBP to fund a conservation project over a year, supporting initiatives that are science-based, community-driven, and aim to address urgent conservation challenges. Beyond financial support, winners become part of a global network of past awardees, enabling them to share experiences, learn from others, and raise their profile on an international platform.

Who Should Apply?
The Whitley Awards are targeted at mid-career conservationists working on the ground in their home countries, primarily in the Global South. Candidates should have a proven track record of conservation success and a deep understanding of the ecological and social challenges they are addressing. Projects should be sustainable, involve local communities, and be rooted in science. For amphibian conservationists, this is an incredible opportunity to secure funding for projects that protect threatened species, restore critical habitats, engage local communities, and advance scientific understanding of these incredible creatures.

Application Process
The application process is straightforward but requires careful preparation. Interested candidates must first register on the application portal. They will then need to complete several forms, including a detailed proposal of their conservation project, and submit them by the deadline of October 31, 2024. Additionally, applicants must secure three referees who can vouch for their work and the impact of their project.

Winning a Whitley Award is a life-changing opportunity that can catalyze conservation efforts, bringing much-needed attention and resources to critical projects. If you are an amphibian conservation leader making a difference in your community, consider applying for this prestigious award and joining a global network of conservation champions.
