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

👋 📽️ Meet Morgan Pendaries, a participant of our recent Conservation Management & Leadership (CML) training workshop in Rwanda.

🌎 Morgan’s CLP project is focused on the conservation of a little-studied rodent in Argentina– the Wolffsohn’s viscacha.

🫶 Having attended our CML training, Morgan has returned to Argentina equipped with new knowledge and tools to help him advance his project.

🤝 We are also delighted to hear that the training allowed him to make connections with other early-career conservationists around the world who are facing similar challenges, which we hope will provide a unique peer-to-peer network for him to support his ongoing conservation efforts.

👋 📽️ Conozca a Morgan Pendaries, uno participante en nuestro reciente taller de formación en Gestión y Liderazgo en Conservación (CML) en Ruanda.

🌎 El proyecto CLP de Morgan se enfoca sobre la conservación de un roedor poco estudiado: el Chinchillón Anaranjado.

🫶 Tras asistir a nuestra formación en Ruanda, Morgan ha regresado a Argentina equipado con nuevos conocimientos y herramientas que le ayudarán a avanzar en su proyecto.

🤝 También estamos encantados de saber que la formación le permitió ponerse en contacto con otros conservacionistas de todo el mundo que se enfrentan a desafíos similares, lo que esperamos que le brinde una red única para apoyar sus esfuerzos de conservación.

📽️ "En realidad, una de las cosas que más me gustó de la formación fue conocer a los demás participantes. Tenemos gente de Sri Lanka, India, Ghana, Nigeria, Colombia... lugares a los que nunca fui. Es genial escucharlos hablar de sus especies y sus programas de conservación. Además, a veces tenemos problemos muy parecidos.

Vaishnavi y Sarika trabajan en la India con geckos y mariposas, pero tienen los mismos desafios que yo en la Patagonia. Viven muy lejos, pero tienen las mismas problemáticas como trabajar con especies poco conocidas y lugares remotos. Así que es muy bueno hablar con ellos. Y me entusiasma saber cómo desarrollarán su proyecto en el futuro."

🎉 CONGRATULATIONS to CLP alumnus, Cedrick Fogwan, on his recent "Science on a Shoestring" Award from @marinemammalogy.

This award recognizes groundbreaking, low-cost ideas that are having a major impact on marine conservation around the world.

🌊 Cedrick`s award honours his work with the @ammco_siren SIREN Citizen Science Program, an innovative, cost-effective approach to bridging data gaps and conserving marine wildlife in Africa.

Cedrick and the five other winners were presented with their awards on-stage at last month`s SMM conference in Perth, Australia.

In addition to receiving the award, Cedrick was selected to participate in a prestigious panel discussion where he shared insights into the development and implementation of the SIREN Citizen Science Program.

Cedrick said: "What an honour to be part of the "Science on Shoestring" panel, sharing our work with the real heroes – the fishermen who report their sightings through our Siren Citizen Science Program. It was also inspiring to learn about other shoestring conservation initiatives from around the world."

🥳 Please join us in congratulating Cedrick and the other 2024 winners: Wint Hte, Vu Long, Federico Secunzu, Nester Brix and Carlos Yaipen-LLanos.

🐸 Cedrick was first supported by CLP in 2022, through one of our Future Conservationist Awards, for his work protecting the goliath frog, an Endangered species being over-hunted for food and the pet trade in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea.

👉 Through his CLP award, including participation in our Conservation Management & Leadership training, plus a subsequent Kate Stokes Memorial Award for CLP alumni, Cedrick has persuaded several hunters in the Mount Nlonako Reserve, Cameroon, to become citizen scientists and record sightings of the goliath frog, and worked with local groups to help set up snail farming to provide an alternative food source. These efforts have led to rescuing multiple individuals of the goliath frog, and the species is now returning to new rivers in the reserve 🎉
