Generous donations have allowed Conservation International (CI) to establish two new and unique fellowship programs www.conservation.org/fellowships – the Lui-Walton Innovators and the Ann & Tom Friedman Fellows for Science Fellowship Programs.
The Lui-Walton Innovators Fellowship Program http://www.conservation.org/about/pages/lui-walton-innovators- fellowship.aspx strategically combines the collaborative effort of recognized leaders and emerging talent to address critical conservation issues at a global, regional and local level. The Ann & Tom Friedman Fellows for Science Program http://www.conservation.org/about/pages/ann- and-tom-friedman-fellowship.aspx recognizes and supports the key role that science play in achieving CI’s conservation goals. Every other year, CI selects Fellows who will seek solutions to specific areas of critical need. Both Fellowship programs give emerging leaders a unique and challenging, two-year, hands-on opportunity to make meaningful and innovative contributions to environmental conservation efforts. The Fellowship programs are now accepting applications for the FY 2017/18 class of Fellows. All applications must be submitted online. Applications are due by August 30, 2016. Current, open positions include: • Sustainable Landscapes Lui-Walton Fellow • Freshwater Lui-Walton Fellow • REDD+ Lui-Walton Fellow • Water & Cities Friedman Fellow • Climate Change Adaptation Friedman Fellow Detailed descriptions of the above positions can be found on the CI web page at www.conservation.org/fellowships.
