Conservation Training

The future of many of the World’s threatened species and ecosystems lies in the hands of a new generation of biologists. The Centre for Conservation Research (CCR) is dedicated to helping scholars from around the World become future conservation leaders. Through its annual Canadian Fellowship and International Scholarship programs, the Centre provides valuable hands-on training in conservation research and endangered species management to undergraduate and graduate students in both Canada and abroad.

Canadian Fellowships

researcher in the field

The Canadian Conservation Research Fellowship was designed to aid in the professional development of recent Canadian graduates as they pursue careers in the field of conservation biology. Every year, the Centre for Conservation Research (CCR) and the Alberta Society of Professional Biologists offer a single graduate or undergraduate student the opportunity to participate in a 10-month research fellowship through the Calgary Zoo.

The Canadian Fellowship provides recipients with experience in the field and valuable knowledge of conservation logistics. Recipients receive training in conservation techniques, and are mentored by experienced researchers at CCR. Opportunities also exist for recipients to take part in journal discussions, and to attend and give research presentations.The experience gained through participation in this Canadian Fellowship program has allowed past recipients to vastly improve their eligibility for future conservation work and graduate studies.
