The deadline for responses is Monday, 25th March 2024 (by 12pm midday). From Ellerman: As you all know, supporting environmental work in the UKOTs has been a longstanding commitment of ours, and in the last few years we have sought to take on more of a leadership role on the UKOTs within UK environmental philanthropy – primarily through delivering two rounds of the UKOTs Fund in partnership with other grantmakers in 2021 and 2022, with both rounds resulting in the distribution of £1.944m in the form of 18 grants to organisations based across 11 of the UKOTs.We are now seeking consultancy support to set up a Funder Learning Network that meets to discuss environmental work relating to the UKOTs through dinners, conferences and facilitated learning meetings. The Network will build on our past work in relation to the UKOTs, including our role in seeking to promote and source both prospective donors and applicants for environmental work in the UKOTs.We hope the Funder Learning Network will fulfil the following key outcomes:
To raise the profile of the environmental work happening in the UKOTs to a diverse audience of individual donors and funding institutions, environmental charities, UK and Territory-based Governments, UK and Territory-based individuals and communities, and media outlets.
To increase in real terms the levels of inward investment into environmental work happening in the UKOTs.

Contract type: Fixed term from April to December 2024

Dear community!
I hope this is the right place for my following post :)
I am about to relocate from Germany to Greenville, SC 🇺🇸 and looking for a position in conservation or wildlife research 🌿.
I am currently employed at the Institute for Terrestrial and Aquatic Wildlife Research (ITAW), where we work on topics relating to population sizes and distributions, the impact of anthropogenic disturbances on ecosystems, and the management of wildlife populations and animal-human interactions. In this context, I have gained extensive experience with fieldwork, literature studies and project management during the last years, covering both hands-on and administrative tasks. Through my previous work and various internship experiences, I am also well trained in scientific work, peer-reviewed publishing and handling various wildlife species.
So if you know somebody who might look for someone with this profile, hit me up! Let’s connect 🤝 CV available upon request!
💻 Remote opportunities also very welcome!Thank you all so much, I highly appreciate it!
