<P>The Conservation Leadership Programme (CLP) is now
accepting applications for 2010 Conservation Awards. The CLP
aims to promote the development of emerging conservation
leaders and equip them with the capacity to address the most
pressing conservation issues of our time. We do this by
providing small grants, training, mentoring and networking
opportunities, where award winners gain practical skills and
experience and develop leadership capabilities through the
implementation of projects focused on high-priority
biodiversity conservation issues. </P>
<P>The CLP is a partnership of four international conservation
organizations – Birdlife International, Conservation
International, Fauna & Flora International and the
Wildlife Conservation Society – with support from
multinational energy company BP. The CLP has been helping
young conservationists to achieve their goals and move into
positions of influence within the conservation sector – and
<STRONG>2010 marks the 25th Anniversary of this highly
successful program</STRONG>!
<P>This year we are happy to announce that we will be
accepting applications from teams working across Africa, Asia,
Eastern and South-eastern Europe, the Middle East, the
Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean. Countries that are
NOT ELIGIBLE include those countries designated as <A

nations in the Pacific and Caribbean and some countries in the
Middle East. If you have any questions about eligible
