About WWF’s Russell E. Train Fellowships 2027/2028 for Master’s or Doctoral Students

EFN invites applications from the current and next generation of conservation scientists, leaders, and practitioners to pursue graduate level studies (master’s degree) focused on dimensions of human-wildlife conflict and coexistence in Uganda. The growth of human populations combined with expansion of settlements and agricultural land has increasingly resulted in widespread conflicts between people and wildlife. Long-term resolution of human-wildlife conflict and co-existence calls for effective multifaceted, interdisciplinary, practical, and socio-culturally relevant approaches and solutions. This competitive fellowship aims to strengthen the in-country capacity of outstanding and well-trained experts, natural and social scientists, and practitioners to undertake academic and field-based training to address issues of human-wildlife conflicts.
