The course, which is run in collaboration with Goethe University Frankfurt and the Frankfurt Zoological Society / Zoologische Gesellschaft Frankfurt, covers topics such as project development, budget planning and communication. KfW Stiftung awards six scholarships to aspiring conservationists from Latin America, Africa and Asia. During the course of the program, each scholarship holder develops a project idea. The best three projects receive financial support for implementation. We are delighted to congratulate Asri Lestari from Konservasi Indonesia as one of this year’s fellows! Conservation International looks forward to seeing this cohort’s ideas and outcomes. #KfWStiftung #FSS2025 #WandelGestalten

For Elle Wibisono, Ph.D., Conservation International Ocean Science Senior Manager, protecting the ocean isn’t just about science, it’s about people and working together for something bigger than ourselves. And she hopes the lessons she’s learned along the way can help inspire future scientists as they work to help protect nature for generations to come. #WomenInScience

Nomusa Mashile, a scientist with Conservation South Africa, is breaking barriers and building bridges with rural farming communities in South Africa. She exemplifies why science is more than data – it’s about people, traditions and collaboration. #WomenInScience

At Conservation International we’re dreaming up ways to take these innovations to impact on the ground with XPRIZE.   Thank you to the The Patrick J. McGovern Foundation for its partnership and support of Conservation International's AI Innovation for conservation and nature monitoring efforts, which helped make this impactful Summit possible. 

Harrison Ford is not slowing down: “I’m acting my a** off!” he told The Wall Street Journal. But for Conservation International’s vice chairman, a recent brush with a climate-fueled disaster has given new meaning to the Hollywood veteran’s decades-long work in conservation.

Harrison Ford is known for his iconic roles, but his commitment to conservation is just as compelling. In this profile, The Wall Street Journal highlights his remarkable career, character, and—of course—his dedication to Conservation International (while he sports a CI t-shirt, no less). For more than three decades, Harrison has been a driving force for CI—amplifying our mission, lending his voice to our most impactful campaigns, and helping forge some of our most important partnerships. His dedication has shaped our organization in profound ways and expanded what's possible for nature. https://lnkd.in/eufa-fny

Harrison Ford is full of surprises: A cattle baron. A grumpy therapist. A Red Hulk. And more than three decades of fighting for nature with Conservation International. DON'T MISS HIS FULL FEATURE IN The Wall Street Journal: https://lnkd.in/eun-BXWW
