In recent years, CLP has produced Annual Reports to demonstrate the support we have given to talented and dedicated early-career conservationists and the resulting impact on the conservation of threatened species and habitats.

Our 2025 Annual Report showcases the support we provide to early-career, locally-embedded leaders who are significantly contributing to the long-term conservation of some of the world’s most threatened biodiversity and habitats. This includes the great tiger-nut tree in Ghana (of which only 18 mature individuals remain globally); primates in Brazil, including the Critically Endangered northern muriqui; and hornbills in Indonesia and the Philippines. Our project teams conduct vital research and work with local governments and communities to ensure tangible, long-term conservation impact.

CLP is committed to catalysing breakthroughs in biodiversity conservation by supporting and equipping the next generation of conservation leaders. Our latest Annual Report describes our key activities and accomplishments, including the vital projects we supported in 2024 through our Conservation Team Awards, Career Placements and training courses. The report also highlights the recent accomplishments of our global alumni network, including: promoting community-based action to conserve the Endangered Hildegarde's tomb bat in Kenya; an increased understanding of, and local support for, the Bhutan Glory swallowtail butterfly in India; and estabishing community-led invasive species control on Rapa Island, Polynesia.

Our 2023 Annual Report provides an overview of our latest activities and impact, including our 2023 Conservation Team Awards (our flagship annual small-grant scheme), key conservation highlights, career placements, and regional and international training courses. The report outlines our unique efforts to empower and support early-career conservation leaders in their work preserving at-risk biodiversity worldwide, including: obtaining crucial information new to science about the Santa Fe frog in Argentina; establishing a new NGO focused on large mammal conservation in Brazil; and uncovering the conservation status of a rare gecko in Nigeria as well as the discovery of two possible new gecko species.

Our 2022 Annual Report provides an overview of our latest programmatic activities, including our 2022 Conservation Team Awards (our flagship annual small-grant scheme), internships, scholarships & placements, and regional & international training courses. Our previous award-winners around the world are leading crucial conservation actions to protect threatened biodiversity worldwide, including strengthening the protection area status of the Sui River Forest Reserve habitat of the critically endangered squeaker frog, discovery of both the first ever female mollinedia dolichotrichain flowering plant in Brazil as well as eight new invertebrates in Sataplia-Tskaltubo Karst Caves, Georgia.

Our 2021 Annual Report provides an overview of our latest programmatic activities, including our 2021 Conservation Team Awards (our flagship annual small-grant scheme), internships, scholarships & placements, and regional & international training courses. Our previous award-winners around the world are leading crucial conservation actions to protect threatened biodiversity worldwide, including the creation of a new management plan for Brazil's largest coastal Marine Protected Area and key steps towards saving the velvet scoter duck from the brink of extinction.

Read our 2020 Annual Report to find out about our latest programmatic activities, including our 2020 Conservation Team Awards (our flagship annual small-grant scheme), internships, scholarships & placements, and regional & international training courses. We are also delighted to report that our previous award-winners around the world continue to deliver noteworthy successes, including the discovery of two new species of frogs in Colombia; increasing numbers of critically endangered parakeets in Brazil; and the creation of Guyana’s first Important Bird and Biodiversity Area.

This report provides a summary of activities and outcomes achieved in 2019 and describes how CLP has started to develop and expand its presence since receiving a new grant from Arcadia – a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin – which will support CLP over the next five years (2019-2024). Key highlights in 2019 include the selection of three new projects and the successful completion of 15 projects funded in previous years, while 38 more people have been trained through our courses to build further capacity for conservation in their home countries. As you will find in this report, our alumni have been delivering outstanding results for conservation, including the discovery of a new species of primate in Brazil and the establishment of a new Important Marine Mammal Area in Indonesia.
