Raising youth awareness on in situ conservation is key for nurturing future environmental stewards. Teaching them about protecting species in their natural habitats empowers them to grasp the link between ecosystems, biodiversity, and human welfare.

This realisation sparked a collaborative journey with Repton school Dubai to create a unique podcast with one aim; to let the youth narrate our conservation stories in their language, filled with passion and emotion aimed at inspiring their peers.

Your feedback matters, so tune in, share your thoughts, and let's inspire the next generation.

&lt;p&gt;Every conservation journey starts with a single opportunity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this episode of &lt;em&gt;Conservation Calls&lt;/em&gt;, we explore how the Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund&amp;#39;spartnership with the Global Environment Facility (GEF) is helping develop the next generation of conservation leaders across developing countries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hear directly from a handful of Fonseca Field Grant recipients as they share their stories, from taking that first step in conservation to leading projects that are making a real difference for nature. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Together, they represent the journeys of the 146 conservationists supported through this partnership since it began, proving that investing in people is one of the most powerful ways to protect nature.&lt;/p&gt;<br />
