The Habitat Foundation is committed to supporting capacity building opportunities among the next generation of scientists, practitioners, and community organizers. We provide specialized training designed to equip frontliners with a range of skills that are essential to the challenging work they do.
In November 2019, in partnership with the Southeast Asia Rainforest Research Partnership (SEARRP), a leader in rainforest research, and Tropical Biology Association (TBA), we developed a specialized Boot Camp for Conservation Leaders and Changemakers for frontliners from across Malaysia and Southeast Asia. The Boot Camp was very positively received and we are excited to announce that we will be holding a Boot Camp in September this year and will post a Call for Applications in April 2020.
