Dear colleagues,
As you know, IUCN is one of the three "Sustainability Institutes" for the Alcoa Foundation Conservation and Sustainability Fellowship Programme. This is designed for mid-career conservationists, primarily from NGOs, who would be able to use US$ 10,000 to complete, carryout, or prepare for publication a piece of applied research in the following areas that are key to our work:
·       Detailed Case Study of One or More Biodiversity Compensation Schemes
·       Exploring the Relationship between Alternative Forms of Energy and their Impacts on Biodiversity
·       Review and Synthesis of Corporate Biodiversity Management and Reporting Systems (including Indicators)
·       Biomimicry – The Use of Biological Systems to Help Design New Approaches to Sustainability
·       Biodiversity-Friendly Ways of Adapting to Climate Change
Further information on the Fellowship requirements, including application forms and procedures, can be found at http://www.alcoafoundationfellows.org
The completed application should be sent to the Institute of International Education no later than February 14, 2008.  Applications received after this date will not be accepted.
