Russell E. Train Education for Nature Projects

  • Russell E. Train Fellowships

    Russell E. Train Fellowships support individuals pursuing a master’s or doctoral degree in conservation and related fields. Each year, WWF supports committed conservation leaders and scientists from target countries to receive financial support for their studies and research.

  • Environmental and Social Impact Grant

    The Environmental and Social Impact Grant aims to provide competitive financial support to teams and institutions working in Kenya, Tanzania, and Madagascar focusing on enhancing capacities to address environmental and social impact assessment capacity building needs with an emphasis on local communities and local practitioners. Proposals should aim to provide capacity building to improve the practice, quality, and effectiveness of community groups, government, and non-governmental institutions to design and implement sustainable conservation and development initiatives, plans, and policies.
