Supporting wildlife conservationists:conservation Nation offers support to help save wildlife and their habitats around the world and builds a stronger, more inclusive wildlife Conservation community. Our programs provide funding and support to conservationists from underrepresented communities to advance their critical work and opportunities to emerging conservationists that would otherwise be beyond their reach. Programs include grants, professional development, fellowships, internships and scholarships.
Building communities and connections:conservation Nation cultivates an inclusive global community of people and organizations focused on amplifying diverse perspectives in Conservation to solve urgent biodiversity challenges. Our unique value is stitching together funding, resources, education and connections that individuals need to enter, stay and thrive in Conservation. Together with partner organizations, we offer networking and mentoring programs, public events, and strategic collaboration to leverage our collective strength to break down barriers with urgency, efficiency and impact.
Inspiring the next generation:conservation Nation offers programs to inspire and educate a diverse and inclusive generation of wildlife champions. Our programs focus on middle school students in traditionally underserved communities. We offer the Conservation Nation academy program with an in-school curriculum focused on inspiring role model conservationists and experiences in nature. Our education programs aspire to develop a student's Conservation mindset and ethic, to build their confidence and self-efficacy in Conservation, and to cultivate future Conservation champions and leaders.
