From 16–20 June 2025, The Conservation Leadership Programme (CLP), in partnership with the Rufford Foundation, hosted a Leadership and Fundraising Workshop in Bogor, Indonesia. The event brought together 20 early-career conservationists from six countries across Asia. Alumni of both CLP and the Rufford Foundation represented this diverse range of countries, cultures, and the conservation challenges faced. The workshop aimed to strengthen participants’ leadership and fundraising skills—two critical areas for driving effective conservation action. Through expert facilitation, peer-to-peer exchange, and practical exercises, participants gained tools to lead teams, engage stakeholders, and secure sustainable funding for their projects.
