Dear Equator Net members,
The Whitley Awards
A Whitley Award is a top nature conservation prize, designed to provide the winner with:
• International recognition that enhances their credibility
• Worldwide media visibility for their project
• Financial support to pursue their ongoing conservation work
• A supportive international network of other Whitley Award winners and Friends through which to solicit advice and support.
At each Whitley Award Ceremony there are up to nine Whitley Awards of £30,000 each, plus the Whitley Gold Award. The Gold Award is worth £60,000 over two years. It is awarded annually to the Whitley Award winner whose work and objectives most impress the Judging Panel each year. The further funding provided by this Award grants a second year of funding to the Gold Award winner. All of the Whitley Award winners are automatically considered for the Gold Award, so there is no separate application process.
Whitley Awards were developed to recognise conservation leaders from around the world who are applying sustained effort to conserve the natural environment. Our scope of interest has in the past included, but is not limited to: protecting endangered ecosystems and species, promoting sustainability, and influencing environmental policies.
Every applicant and project is considered on their own merits. However, there are a number of premises which guide the Whitley Award Judging Panel, and it is recommended that you read this information carefully before applying. Please see the Application process section for details. To check your eligibility, we also recommend you read our FAQs section.
If you know of a conservation leader who you believe should apply for the Whitley Award, please ask him or her to visit the website for all details of how to apply. Successful applicants will receive funding in June 2009, and most will need to submit a final report by July 2010. You might be able to think of a colleague working somewhere in your country, or elsewhere in the developing world whom you think is doing great grassroots conservation work and would be a good Whitley Award candidate.
Alternatively, if you have not won a full Whitley Award before, were a small grant winner who has fully completed and reported on your project, and would like to reapply for the Whitley Award, do please give me an email if you want to discuss this.
A reminder of things we look for:
- Proven, passionate leaders who are ambassadors for conservation
- Value for money
- Evidence of proven success and likelihood of future sustainability
- Genuine community involvement
- Based on sound science – though team leader may not necessarily be a scientist (that expertise may be on the team).
- Projects that would benefit from the publicity associated with the award
- There is a strong bias towards the funding of nationals of countries that are biodiversity rich but resource and capacity poor.
Please remember that WFN currently does not fund undergraduate projects, expeditions, MScs, or pure-research PhD work.
Applicants must be able to communicate in English , and be capable of compiling a written report to describe and quantify the success of their work with appropriate academic references.
The next deadline for the Whitley Awards is Friday 31st October 2008 . Please ensure you apply in good time to meet the deadline.
The five easy steps to apply are available at http://www.whitleyaward.org/application_process.php
Best regards,
Elspeth and the Equator Net Team
