One of the most effective ways in which the EDGE of Existence programme is working to secure the future of EDGE species is by helping to build conservation capacity in regions in which they occur. This is achieved through awarding two-year Fellowships to future conservation leaders (EDGE Fellows) working on poorly-known EDGE species.

Congratulations to Ibrahim!

Ibrahim Mitole from the Mulanje Mountain Conservation Trust, received the EDGE Fellowship. With a focus on a project to continue work to save the Critically Endangered Mulanje Cedar Tree (Widdringtonia whytei), in this 2 year fellowship Ibrahim will receive training and technical support for his work. He will also collect more valuable data on restoration being carried out on the Mulanje Cedar tree to create evidence for improved practices.
