Emerging Wildlife Conservation Leaders’ Post

EWCL is turning 20! 🎂 🎉 🎊 2025 marks the 20th anniversary of the Emerging Wildlife Conservation Leaders program — two decades of empowering early-career wildlife conservation leaders from around the world. In those years EWCL participants have conserved over 74 species, raised over $305K for conservation, and supported over 200 organizations. To celebrate this incredible milestone, we’re bringing together our global network for a special 20th Anniversary Summit this December in Washington, DC. The summit will reflect on our conservation legacy, uplift each other, provide learning opportunities, and look ahead to a better future for conservation. To kick off the celebrations, over the next few days we’ll reflect on each EWCL class and the impacts they made. Stay tuned!
