ZSL EDGE of Existence Fellowship Programme 2023-2025 for Africans
Applications for the 2023-2025 ZSL EDGE of Existence Fellowship Programme is now open for qualified persons to apply before the deadline date(17th July 2022). One of the most effective ways ZSL’s EDGE of Existence programme is working to secure the future of EDGE species is by awarding two year Fellowships to future conservation leaders (“EDGE Fellows”) working on poorly-known EDGE fish, gymnosperms, bird, mammal, amphibian, reptile, shark or ray species.
The EDGE Fellowship is a two year program.
The Fellowship comprises of:
- A 4-week Conservation Tools training course at the beginning of the programme to provide Fellows with essential training in techniques to plan and implement their project;
- A grant of £10,000 to undertake a 2-year project on a top-priority EDGE species;
- Ongoing technical support via online modules, web-based tutorials/seminars, and field visits throughout the Fellowship;
- One-to-one support from a scientific advisor based at ZSL or a partner organisation;
- A 2-week Conservation Leadership training course in London on successful completion of Fellowship to help Fellows prepare for the next stage of their career.
Eligibility for the ZSL EDGE of Existence Fellowship Programme 2023-2025 for Africans
- Focus your work on an EDGE species included on the 2022 curated list.
- Are an early-career conservation biologist or wildlife manager (less than 10 years’ experience).
- Are a resident of a country in which the proposed focal species occurs.
