And the grant goes to … (1/3)
A jury representing five FSS partner organisations selected the three KfW Stiftung Fellows who will receive funding to bring their projects to life. This year’s grants go to Zambia, Guyana and Madagascar!
👏 One of the grant winners in 2025 is Alex Stewart 🇬🇾 from FZS Guyana. His project aims to protect the giant river otter in the Kanuku Mountains Protected Area by:
✅ Establishing aquaculture farms in three local communities
✅ Monitoring fishing activity and otter populations
✅ Developing science-based recommendations for sustainable fishing.
His approach strengthens both biodiversity conservation and local livelihoods — a key example of how managing human-wildlife interactions leads to long-term impact.
🎥 Watch Alex present his project and hear what drives his conservation work. More Fellows and project videos coming soon!
