Russell E. Train Fellowships: Conservation Research for Master's and PhD Students

About this opportunity

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), through its Russell E. Train Education for Nature Program (EFN), offers fellowship opportunities to support emerging and established conservation leaders, researchers, and practitioners pursuing postgraduate studies in conservation and related disciplines. The programme aims to strengthen conservation science, develop leadership capacity, and support practical solutions to environmental challenges. The programme features specialised funding opportunities, including the Human-Wildlife Conflicts in Uganda Fellowship and the WWF Conservation Futures Fellowship. These initiatives support graduate-level education and research while promoting sustainable conservation practices, community participation, and evidence-based environmental management.
