WWF’s Russell E Train Education for Nature (EFN) Program is pleased to launch the Fonseca Leadership Program. This competitive program aims to provide financial support for the current and next generation of researchers and practitioners in Latin America to pursue graduate-level studies (master’s and PhD) geared towards education and research training that is relevant in the design and implementation of conservation interventions that address conservation challenges. Fellows will also have an opportunity to join the expansive global community of EFN alumni to enable knowledge exchange and collective success.

The program will be delivered through a global platform project and a suite of 15 national projects that will integrate sectors, themes, and drivers, and engage governments, civil society organizations, and the private sector
