ASAP Women in Conservation Leadership Programme
The ASAP Women in Conservation Leadership Programme provides leadership training for women conservationists. It brings together women from across the region, providing a unique opportunity to engage with and learn from other like-minded women working in species conservation.
There is a growing recognition that inclusive and diverse leadership is fundamental for conservation success. Achieving effective conservation requires people of all genders working together - bringing and appreciating our full selves and diverse perspectives to this significant work.
We believe that empowering women conservationists in the region is critical for long-term, sustainable and successful conservation of ASAP Species.
Visible to self, others and together
“This programme has given me more than I ever imagined. All elements of the course came together so well in getting us to understand what it means and how to be visible to self, others and together. It is an impactful programme in supporting female leadership in conservation.”
