Caribbean Conservation Scholarship

 

The Caribbean is home to some of the planet's most unique and endangered species, including AZA SSP program animals like the Cuban crocodile, Jamaican fruit bat, and Puerto Rican Crested toad.  The Caribbean Conservation Training Scholarship promotes the conservation of the region's diverse wildlife by providing capacity building and training opportunities to a segment of the conservation community that warrants increased attention and resources. The scholarship may be applied toward any of the Association of Zoos & Aquarium's professional training program courses. 

 

This scholarship is not offered currently.
