Every year, young, talented, and ambitious nature conservationists from all over the world shoot their shot for this prestigious award. Ultimately, three inspiring wildlife heroes are selected as the winners. The FFN Award not only provides winners with a €50,000 prize to boost their conservation work, but they also gain international recognition and many connections within our widespread nature conservation network. Winners will join the FFN Family allowing them to connect with, learn from, and even work with their peers.
With the FFN Award, former winners could jumpstart their non-profit organisations, expand their nature- and/or community-based initiatives and develop new conservation projects and strategies. For example, Pieter van Wyk, a 2023 award winner, established the Richtersveld Desert Botanical Garden & Nursery, which developed into a living gene bank and stores both seeds and plants. Rebecca Cliffe, one of the FFN awards winners in 2022, developed the first ‘Wildlife Safe Zones’ in Costa Rica to provide a safe reintroduction area for sloths and other species. 2021 FFN winner, Mónica Torres, created biological corridors to protect, extend and connect the habitat available for the Campbell’s alligator lizard in and between the 3 distribution areas.
