£10,000 Grant: Zoological Society of London 2022 EDGE of Existence Fellowships for African Countries
One of the most effective ways ZSL’s EDGE of Existence programme is working to secure the future of EDGE species is by awarding two year Fellowships to future conservation leaders (“EDGE Fellows”) working on poorly-known EDGE bird, mammal, amphibian, reptile, shark or ray species.
About Zoological Society of London (ZSL)
The Zoological Society of London (ZSL) is a charity devoted to the worldwide conservation of animals and their habitats. It was founded in 1826. The society was founded in April 1826 by Sir Stamford Raffles, the Marquess of Lansdowne, Lord Auckland, Sir Humphry Davy, Robert Peel, Joseph Sabine, Nicholas Aylward Vigors along with various other nobility, clergy, and naturalists.Raffles was the first chairman and president, but died after only a few months in office, in July 1826.
Aim and Benefits of ZSL EDGE of Existence Fellowships
- A 4-week Conservation Tools training course at the beginning of the programme to provide Fellows with essential training in techniques to plan and implement their project;
- A grant of £10,000 to undertake a 2-year project on a top-priority EDGE species;
- Ongoing technical support via online modules, web-based tutorials/seminars, and field visits throughout the Fellowship;
- One-to-one support from a scientific advisor based at ZSL or a partner organisation;
- A 2-week Conservation Leadership training course in London on successful completion of Fellowship to help Fellows prepare for the next stage of their career.

- Focus your work on an EDGE species included on the 2019 curated list.
