Do you know a wildlife conservation hero who has been essential to protecting nature in Canada at personal financial sacrifice? Someone like Ray Plourde, last year’s winner? Nominate that person for the fourth annual $10,000 Glen Davis Conservation Leadership Prize.

Eligibility

The successful candidate will have the one of following characteristics:

  • Played a key role in bringing — or being on the cusp of bringing — meaningful protections to identifiable land or marine ecosystems. This could be one specific area with which the nominee has become associated, or an entire network of new protected areas.
  • Or led a foundational initiative regarding species or spaces that leaves our country measurably better off.

Plus:

  • Demonstrated personal financial sacrifice.

Other considerations:

  • May or may not be associated with or employed by an existing conservation organization, and this person might lead from the front by having a highly visible role in conservation advocacy, or play a leadership role behind the scenes, such as inspiring and coordinating the efforts of others.
  • May or may not be well known. They could be a veteran of many years effort, or a promising up-and-comer.
  • The prize is not intended as a bursary or scholarship to help full-time students in financial need, or to complete their studies.
