One of the most effective ways ZSL’s EDGE of Existence programme is working to secure the future of EDGE species is by awarding two year Fellowships to future conservation leaders (“EDGE Fellows”) working on poorly-known EDGE bird, mammal, amphibian, reptile, shark or ray species.
Eligibility Criteria
You may be eligible for an EDGE Fellowship if you:
- Focus your work on an EDGE species included on the 2019 curated list.
- Are an early-career conservation biologist or wildlife manager (less than 10 years’ experience).
- Are a resident of a country in which the proposed focal species occurs.
We are particularly keen to hear from individuals who are working on a species listed as a ‘Photo Ark’ species, but we are open to applications on all species listed.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to discuss their projects with the EDGE team before applying, and we will be happy to provide feedback on draft applications 3 weeks before the deadline.
Application Process
Applicants are strongly encouraged to discuss their projects with the EDGE team before applying, and we will be happy to provide feedback on draft applications submitted at least 3 weeks before the deadline. Application form
