We’re thrilled to announce that 31 passionate conservationists from 18 countries will be coming to Frankfurt this February to take part in the Frankfurt Spring School 2025! United by their dedication to wildlife and biodiversity, they will form the next generation of conservation project managers.

A special highlight: Through the KfW Stiftung Fellowship, six outstanding participants from the Global South will develop their own conservation projects in their home regions. This year, we proudly welcome:

 

Alex Stewart – Guyana, and his project on fishing pressures on Giant River Otters within the Kanuku Mountains Protected Area.

 

Godbless Monyo – Tanzania, aiming to strengthen air support for African Rhinos in the battle Against Poachers in Serengeti National Park.

“I am enthusiastic about strengthening my managerial skills to enhance conservation impact and create a well organized and efficient working environment for my team.”

 

Isnaini Marliana – Indonesia, and her project on Sustainable Snapper and Grouper Fisheries Management in Aceh Province.

“The program aligns perfectly with my goal of improving conservation management strategies to build both biological and economic sustainability.”

 

 

Christelle Razafindrakoto – Madagascar, aiming to improve the status of Chondrichthyans in Antongil Bay – Makira Masoala Baie d’Antongil landscape.

Jacob Mphasi – Zambia, with the goal to enhance fence integrity and wildlife monitoring through Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tools (SMART).

“I look forward to connecting with conservationists worldwide, learning more about the organization’s commitment to conservation.”

 

 

Asri Lestari – Indonesia, and her project on private managed conservation areas as the Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures (OECM).

“I am deeply honored to receive this scholarship, as it holds great significance for my career and personal development.”
