Future for Nature Awards 2021 (€50,000 grant)
Are you a young (35 years or younger), talented, and energetic nature conservationist committed to protecting species of wild animals and plants? Do you combine passion with action to create concrete results in nature conservation? Don’t hesitate to apply for the 2021 FFN Awards!
Each year Future For Nature awards 3 young, talented, and ambitious nature conservationists through the Future For Nature Awards.

The Future For Nature Foundation  supports young, talented, and ambitious nature conservationists committed to protecting species of wild animals and plants. 
They believe in the power of the individual. 
Therefore, they select a new generation of nature conservationists who they believe make the difference for the future of nature. Natural leaders who inspire and with their drive and ‘stubbornness’ achieve impressive results. 
Annually, they put three of these promising young people in the spotlight.
