The Inlaks-Ravi Sankaran Internship for Field Biology, Ecology & Conservation

The Inlaks-Ravi Sankaran Internship for Field Biology, Ecology & Conservation is designed to enable recipients to gain experience and insight in field ecology and conservation beyond what they would ordinarily gather from an academic programme. The programme aims to facilitate interaction with the larger international community involved in conservation science and implementation. The internship funds selected individuals to carry out an internship abroad with a university research group, NGO, government agency or organization known for its work in conservation science and practice. The programme supports 1-2 candidates annually with funding that includes a stipend, internship fees (if any), and return airfare up to USD 10,000 in total. The internship must be for a duration of minimum 6 weeks to a maximum of 3 months and must be utilized within nine months of the date of award. The Foundation particularly seeks young applicants with bold and unconventional ideas for tackling conservation problems who can demonstrate deep interest in wildlife ecology and conservation through prior involvement in this field.
