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."
