Applications are open for the ASEAN Youth Biodiversity Leaders Fellowship Program 2023. This fellowship programme aims to build your skills, expand your network, and take your conservation impact to the next level.

Young leaders are already taking the future in their hands. Youth-led conservation efforts such as awareness raising campaigns, coastal clean-ups, online task forces to combat illegal wildlife trafficking via social media, amongst others, are already contributing to the fight against biodiversity loss.
