Young Women Conservation Biologists

 

Award for professional African women: 

for the advancement of conservation biology in Africa

Deadline for Receiving Materials:  10 March 2007

 


   ANNOUNCING OPENING OF AWARDS NOMINATIONS


 

A number of African women Conservation Biologists have received world-wide
recognition for their outstanding contributions; Wangari Maathai, Yaa
Ntaimoa-Baidu, Isabelle Niang-Diop, Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey to name a
few.

 

Overall, however, few African women are represented in the field of
conservation science.

 

The YWCB has introduced a non-monetary award on a nomination basis, aimed at
recognising the contributions of early to mid-career African women in
conservation.  The nominee should have demonstrated:

1.     Evidence of leadership, creativity, self-motivation and enthusiasm

2.     Evidence of service (educational, managerial, research etc.) to
conservation.

3.     Ability to work with others across gender, social class and
ethnicity.

 

 

The Young Women Conservation Biologists’ Group invites members of the
conservation community who have interest in African conservation to nominate
colleagues that meet the criteria for this award.  Self nominations are
welcome.  The nomination form is attached.
