SCGIS 2017 WWF-Education for Nature Page (2017 main)
Since 1994, the World Wildlife Fund - Russel E. Train Education for Nature program has providedhttp://www.conservationgis.org/scgis/2009/aasociety.htmlhttp://www.conservationgis.org/scgis/2009/aasociety.html scholarships for conservation training and education to 2,340 grantees from a long list of countries representing the "global south", where biodiversity issues are most pressing and capacity generally least available. Scgis has had a long history of support from EFN, dating back to 2003 when Nasser Olwero of Kenya and Aldo Farias of Chile and Patricio Pliscoff were first supported to become part of the SCGIS scholars program.
EFN and the SCGIS Scholarship Program share many common values, from the belief in the power of a single committed individual to change their country's conservation landscape, to the responsibility of professionals in countries with resources to give back and help mentor their colleagues in countries with limited access. 2017 marks the beginning of a closer relationship, with changes in SCGIS deadlines to permit more scholars to apply to EFN and providing more support resources to help scholars and chapters take advantage of their programs. The current list of countries in the global south eligible for EFN support is provided at the right. Scholars from these countries are eligible for EFN funding that will provide full support
