The Future For Nature aims to:

Eligibility criteria:

Must be born on or after the 31st May 1985 and before the 31st of May 2002.
Has achieved substantial and long-term benefit to the conservation status of one or more animal or plant species.
Has demonstrated commitment, determination, and passion for conservation work.
Has demonstrated leadership, entrepreneurship, and a clear view on conservation work.
Has been creative and innovative in his/her work.
Has demonstrated to be honourable in the conservation work performed.
Must be determined to continue his/her conservation work, as the Award aims to stimulate the winner’s future work. It is not an “end of career” prize.
Is able to explain his/her conservation work in proficient English (written and spoken).
· The award should be used for a conservation initiative of the winner’s own choice and implemented by him/her.
· The award should be used for the conservation of animal or plant species. The conservation initiative can involve a component of (fundamental) research, but this should not be the main focus. The relevance of the proposed activities to species conservation and the practical impact should be made clear.

Prizes:

The winners each receive 50,000 euro and the prestigious FFN Award. The winners may spend the money at their own discretion in the service of nature conservation; after all, they know better than anyone where the money is most needed. Additionally, Future For Nature offers much more than one-off financial support.

Winning the FFN Award gives the winners international recognition for their work and opens doors that were previously closed.
FFN offers the winners a platform and brings their stories to the attention of conservationists, financiers and a wide audience, allowing them to increase their impact and gain more access to funds.
We also give the (former) winners an extra stage via the Future For Nature Academy. This is an independently functioning committee, which is active in several Dutch cities for and by students with the aim of inspiring students to become active in nature conservation and to offer them resources such as lectures, networking and workshops.
FFN is building a growing Family of (previous) winners, dedicated people who form a community of like-minded people. FFN offers them the opportunity to meet each other and continue to learn with each other in order to continue their fight for nature as efficiently and effectively as possible.

About Future For Nature:
