The Rufford Foundation and CLP Team Up to Support Conservation Training in Madagascar.
In July 2026, the Conservation Leadership Programme (CLP) and the Rufford Foundation are teaming up with local organisation Ary Saina to run a Learning Event for early career conservationists in Madagascar.
The five-day Learning Event in Andasibe will bring together 19 aspiring conservationists working in the region, including 16 CLP and Rufford alumni (emerging conservationists supported by Rufford Small Grants, CLP Career Placements and CLP Conservation Team Awards).
Hosted by local organisation, Ary Saina Association, the Learning Event will comprise interactive workshops on topics requested by participants, including Behaviour Change, Conservation Leadership and Fundraising. The training will also include field visits to experience local conservation challenges and biodiversity.
This Learning Event will create opportunities for the participants to fill any knowledge gaps, enhance skills, support future fundraising efforts, and engage in peer-to-peer knowledge exchange.
