| Description:: | The Wildlife Without Borders-Latin America and the Caribbean Program (WWB LAC) funds projects designed to strengthen the ability of Latin American and Caribbean institutions to manage and conserve species, habitats, and ecological processes for the benefit of the people of the Americas and the world.Of particular interest are projects that build the human and institutional capacity to effectively conserve and manage biodiversity in Latin America and the Caribbean through a holistic and inter-disciplinary approach with a primary emphasis on the social context.In November 2009, the WWB-LAC Program held a workshop in Nicaragua to lay the foundation for a new initiative to develop a model program to train highly effective future conservation professionals through an interdisciplinary, holistic approach to resource management and conservation adapted to the complexities of modern society and the interconnectedness of the landscapes upon which society depends. The model training program initiative will be funded under a separate Notice of Funding Availability, which can be found on the same web site as the workshop proceedings.The WWB LAC Program is now soliciting proposals to support the organization and implementation of a follow-up meeting in Latin America to explore the possibility of creating a new regional society of current conservation professionals who embrace the importance of emphasizing the social context of biodiversity conservation. The proposed time for the meeting is September 2012. |
