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

🎉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.
