The Conservation Leadership Programme (CLP) supports early-career conservationists undertaking priority projects worldwide.

💫Calling all CLP alumni... namely, previous recipients of CLP Team Awards and/or Career Placements (previously known as internships).

🤸‍♀️ We have set up a new group on LinkedIn exclusively for our alumni.

On this group, we aim to share information useful to our alumni, including training, funding, networking, mentoring or any other professional development opportunities.

It`s also a great way for alumni (and CLP staff) to stay in touch, share stories, offer advice, and learn more about what`s happening across the alumni network.

Get in touch or request to join the group through your LinkedIn profile (if you haven`t already got one, we highly recommend you set one up in the interests of benefiting your professional growth and networks).

We look forward to seeing you there!

🎉Great news- 2024 CLP Awardee Eva Ayaro and her project features in this @bbcnewsround article and other media this week - including the @the.independent and @skynews!

Yesterday our partner @faunafloraint published its `Ten Species to Watch in 2025` list, including the paperclip-sized Nguru spiny pygmy chameleon - one of the three chameleon species in Tanzania that Eva is working to protect with support from CLP.

We are delighted to see Eva and these miniature marvels, along with the nine other weird and wonderful species on the list, receiving this amazing media coverage. We hope this will help to highlight the need for continued conservation efforts and support for early-career leaders in 2025 and beyond.

Project leader Eva says, "Protecting the Nguru spiny pygmy chameleon is essential not only for conserving a unique species but also for safeguarding the rich biodiversity of Tanzania’s montane forests. This species is a symbol of resilience, yet it remains highly vulnerable. Its survival depends on our efforts to curb illegal trade and protect its delicate habitat."

💫 We are grateful to the @hempelfoundation for making Eva`s CLP project possible.
