The Wildlife Without Borders Latin America and Caribbean (WWB-LAC) Program offers this grant to support its long-standing partnership with the Universidad Nacional de Cordoba, Argentina. Funding is available for the 2012 and 2013 academic years to enhance the Graduate Program in Wildlife Management. This initiative aligns with WWB-LAC’s primary strategic goal of building capacity for future conservation leaders in the region. Specifically, the grant will fund student scholarships, visiting professors, and practical field experiences that enrich coursework. Managed through a two-year cooperative agreement, the program emphasizes a highly inter-disciplinary, ecosystem-based approach to training. This successful collaboration, ongoing since 1992, has already produced approximately 70 alumni actively working in conservation across the region.
