Hi everyone! I’m looking for grants or scholarships that can support participation in conservation-related training or courses. Ideally, I’m seeking funding that covers not only the registration fee but also travel expenses, accommodations, and living costs during the training period. I’m from Malaysia and have been accepted into a month-long conservation training program in Europe. Unfortunately, this program does not offer scholarships this year, and as someone coming from Southeast Asia, the expenses involved are substantial. If you know of any funding opportunities or organizations that might support this type of professional development, I would greatly appreciate your advice or suggestions. Thank you!

Dear WildHub Community, I hope this message finds you well. My name is Dr Gilles Ananfack, and I am the Program Director of CASuDev (Community Association for Sustainable Development) based in Cameroon, where we focus on conservation and biodiversity, including elephant conservation in the Campo Ma’an National Park. I hold a PhD in Integreted Management of Forest and Agroforestry Ressources and have dedicated my career to environmental protection, sustainable development, and natural resource management. I am now exploring postdoctoral research opportunities in conservation, particularly in areas related to human-wildlife conflict mitigation, community-based conservation strategies, and the sustainable management of protected areas. My goal is to further contribute to the field by integrating research with on-the-ground conservation efforts, especially in tropical ecosystems. I am reaching out to seek your advice and potential guidance on postdoc programs, research collaborations, or funding opportunities that would align with my background and future ambitions. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations or connections you may have, especially if you know of institutions or researchers focusing on conservation challenges in Africa or tropical ecosystems. Thank you for considering my inquiry, and I look forward to any advice you can provide. I am eager to continue contributing to conservation through research and collaboration with like-minded experts in the field.

Hello everyone! I'm currently pursuing a PhD focused on understanding large carnivore mobility and human-wildlife coexistence in private farms in South Africa, particularly in the Limpopo province. My research aims to develop strategies that balance conservation efforts with local community needs. I'm seeking advice or leads on grants, scholarships, or other funding opportunities to support my fieldwork, data analysis, and community engagement components. Any suggestions or connections to relevant funding sources would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your support. All the best,  Morena

The Paul G. Allen Family Foundation is launching an initiative to fund up to $5 million in Natural Climate Solutions (NCS) projects in the Pacific Northwest. This initiative seeks rigorous, place-based, and inclusive NCS projects that provide climate change mitigation alongside biodiversity and human well-being benefits. Projects are encouraged to be community-driven and foster collaborations between Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs), non-profits, academic groups, and research labs. Eligible regions include Oregon, Washington, Idaho, British Columbia, and Alaska. The foundation prioritizes projects that adhere to principles ensuring the projects are nature-based, sustainable, climate-additional, measurable, and equitable. A webinar for prospective applicants will be held on March 7, 2024, and the deadline for submitting a Letter of Interest is April 12, 2024. For more detailed information, visit the Paul G.
