This is the story of Alice Reisfeld: a conservation leader in Brazil with a passion for connecting people with the beautiful birds and forests on their doorstep.
Ten years ago, when Alice was just starting out in her career, she joined an intrepid team of conservationists at SAVE Brasil (BirdLife International in Brazil).
Supported by CLP, the team engaged local communities in the protection of a threatened area of Atlantic Forest famed for its rare birds and rich biodiversity: Serra do Urubu (an Important Bird and Biodiversity Area).
After successfully completing the CLP project, Alice became a Project Coordinator at SAVE Brasil and was then promoted to Project Manager in just three years. Alice now oversees eight projects, including the expansion of the original CLP project.
"Over the past 5 years, the team has implemented 50 hectares of forest restoration and seven agroforestry modules in smallholder farms, and we have recently received two grants to scale up these efforts over the next four years," said Alice.
And to top it all off, Alice has recently been shortlisted for a prestigious Whitley Award 👏
She attributes the support she has received from CLP over the years to being a key part of her success:
"The CLP training (in Canada) I participated in was a real game changer in my career and significantly influenced my professional life. Also, a great deal of what I have learned over the years was through exchanges with others in the CLP alumni network. I find it very enriching to interact with other conservationists who are facing similar challenges."

Meet Esther Githinji - a conservation force to be reckoned with 💪
For the last year, Esther has been engaged in a CLP Career Placement with @wildlabsnet to grow and support the conservation technology community in East Africa 🌱
As a young Kenyan conservationist, with little previous experience of conservation tech, this career placement gave Esther the chance to learn more about this emerging space and develop her own ideas to amplify the important work being done, while getting the support and resources she needed 💗
And she has been remarkably successful. Not only did Esther have the opportunity to speak at the inaugural Africa Climate Summit (held in Nairobi, Kenya, in September 2023), she has also won a @canva Community Award (Campaign Champions category) and secured a permanent position with WILDLABS.
These achievements are both a testament to Esther`s incredible talent and dedication, and a realisation of our vision for CLP placements to act as a `springboard` for emerging conservationists.
"The skills I`ve developed during my CLP career placement with WILDLABS have been instrumental in achieving this next step in my career," said Esther.

🔍What will we find in the third installment of our CLP "Project Spotlight" series?
🐆 The beautiful snow leopard, with a habitat range extending across 12 countries of Asia, is a big cat with a matching appetite. This means that it often comes into conflict with people, by preying on livestock and harming their livelihoods, which can sadly result in retaliatory killings. It is listed as Vulnerable on the #IUCNRedList.
💡A CLP project team in India is working to change this. Supported by CLP in 2011, 2015 and in 2020, and working with @ncf.india and the @snowleopardtrust, the team has set up a long-term monitoring programme (based on information they uncovered in their 2011 CLP project) and implemented interventions including a community outreach programme that is being expanded across 7,000 sq km of Himachal Pradesh state.
📢 One initiative has trained over 100 local women across multiple villages to produce and sell handicrafts. Another is a community-led livestock insurance programme. These initiatives help to compensate herders for livestock predation by carnivores. Now there are very few retaliatory killings and, instead, local people approach the project team for help.

We are waiting for West and Central Africa 💐
Meet Esther Githinji - a conservation force to be reckoned with 💪
For the last year, Esther has been engaged in a CLP Career Placement with @wildlabsnet to grow and support the conservation technology community in East Africa 🌱
As a young Kenyan conservationist, with little previous experience of conservation tech, this career placement gave Esther the chance to learn more about this emerging space and develop her own ideas to amplify the important work being done, while getting the support and resources she needed 💗
And she has been remarkably successful. Not only did Esther have the opportunity to speak at the inaugural Africa Climate Summit (held in Nairobi, Kenya, in September 2023), she has also won a @canva Community Award (Campaign Champions category) and secured a permanent position with WILDLABS.
These achievements are both a testament to Esther's incredible talent and dedication, and a realisation of our vision for CLP placements to act as a 'springboard' for emerging conservationists.
"The skills I've developed during my CLP career placement with WILDLABS have been instrumental in achieving this next step in my career," said Esther.
