In the first 7 iterations of this program, we have had 163 past participants from 50 countries participate in this transformative experience. Today, our alumni occupy decision-making positions, serve as heads of protected area management systems, parks, and organizations, run tourism businesses, amongst other key positions.

 

We look forward to continuing to grow our network in the future. 

We hope that our transformation of the program from its original 17-day format into an ongoing community of learning and practice helps all participants feel a greater sense of connection with others working in this field and provides all with additional resources and inspiration to continue creating amazing opportunities for people to connect with the natural world.
