Dear Donors,
We are tremendously grateful for your support of this project, Support Women Scientists Saving Endangered Wildlife, and we are thrilled to share our most recent updates with you. This year, we selected three young women scientists, each researching herpetology (the study of amphibians)in the megadiverse rainforests of Colombia.
These three young women each received grants which cover transportation, food, lodging, and equipment involved in their research projects, providing pivotal support to the accomplishment of their projects and allowing them to focus on learning rather than on logistics.
These grants are groundbreaking in the world of science — there are typically few resources available to South American scientists, and even fewer available to women scientists. This is why we created this grant, which we could not have achieved without you. We want to ensure that everyone has an equal chance to get involved in science, because that is how we can create equitable solutions to the world’s most pressing climate and biodiversity issues.

We thank you for your meaningful contributions to this effort — let’s keep empowering women together!
With gratitude,
The Women for Conservation Team.
