As our new cohort embarks on their journey at Cambridge this October, we celebrate the achievements of our Class of 2023 who recently attended their graduation ceremony at the University of Cambridge.
Cohort 2024-25.
These conservation professionals, already making significant contributions to global conservation efforts, have further enhanced their leadership capabilities through our unique collaborative programme. Working alongside practitioners from the Cambridge Conservation Initiative partner organisations, they have strengthened their expertise whilst developing new approaches to address pressing environmental challenges.
The David Attenborough Building has been home to their academic journey, where they've engaged directly with world-leading conservation organisations including BirdLife International, IUCN, Fauna& Flora, UNEP-WCMC, and others. This distinctive learning environment, combining academic excellence with practical conservation expertise, exemplifies our commitment to developing effective conservation leaders.
