A call for support

Letícia Benavalli

Letícia Benavalli

I am the Founder and CEO of the Pró Onça Institute, an NGO focused on large carnivore conservation, women's empowerment in science, and community-based solutions for biodiversity preservation.

Groups

I have been accepted into the Beahrs Environmental Leadership Program, a prestigious summer course on Sustainable Environmental Management at UC Berkeley! 🎉

This program is an incredible opportunity to strengthen my leadership and strategy skills in tackling environmental challenges, which will directly contribute to my work in biodiversity conservation, sustainable development, and community-based initiatives. However, the program costs $8,000, and I am currently seeking sponsorship or funding opportunities to make this possible.

 If you know of any organizations, foundations, or grants that support professional development in environmental leadership, I would deeply appreciate any guidance or connections.

I am eager to bring back innovative solutions and global insights from this program to strengthen conservation efforts in Brazil and beyond. If you have any leads or suggestions, please feel free to reach out or share this post.

Thank you so much for your support!

Hi, Leticia - Have a look on Planet Women and Awesome Foundation, they might offer something. I'd also try to contact the folks from Onçafari and Pousada Caiman and ask for their sponsorship. Good luck!
