Applications Open for Future For Nature Awards 2023

The Future For Nature Award is a prestigious international award that celebrates tangible achievements in protecting wild animal and plant species. Each year Future For Nature awards 3 young, talented, and ambitious nature conservationists through the Future For Nature Awards.

The Future For Nature aims to:

• Reward and fund individuals for their outstanding efforts in the protection of species of wild animals and plants
• Stimulate Award winners to sustain their dedicated work
• Help winners to raise their profile, extend their professional network and strengthen their funding basis.

Awards

• The winners each receive 50,000 Euro and the prestigious FFN Award.
• Winning the FFN Award gives the winners international recognition for their work and opens doors that were previously closed.
• FFN offers the winners a platform and brings their stories to the attention of conservationists, financiers and a wide audience, allowing them to increase their impact and gain more access to funds.

Eligibility

• The candidate:
  • Must be born on or after May 31, 1988 and before May 31, 2005.
  • Has achieved substantial and long-term benefits to the conservation status of one or more animal or plant species.
  • Has demonstrated commitment, determination, and passion for conservation work.
  • Has demonstrated leadership, entrepreneurship, and a clear view of conservation work.
  • Has been creative and innovative in his/her work.
  • Has demonstrated to be honourable in the conservation work performed.
  • Must be determined to continue his/her conservation work, as the Award aims to stimulate the winner’s future work. It is not an “end of career” prize.
  • Is able to explain his/her conservation work in proficient English (written and spoken).
• The award should be used for a conservation initiative of the winner’s own choice and implemented by him/her.
• The award should be used for the conservation of animal or plant species. The conservation initiative can involve a component of (fundamental) research, but this should not be the main focus. The relevance of the proposed activities to species conservation and the practical impact should be made clear.
