Fund the people who keep protected areas safe.
LEAD develops the instructors, leaders and analysts inside frontline conservation organisations. Funding reaches that work at three distances: the organisation that delivers it, a cluster of organisations in one landscape, or a single ranger’s seat on a course.
Fund LEAD
Unrestricted · Multi-year
You fund the whole system: trainers, curriculum, certification, deployment. Unrestricted and multi-year, it lets us go where the need is, and keeps certification independent of anyone who pays for it.
For institutional funders and foundations

€100,000-€150,000 a year
You want a landscape you can name. Three years brings every organisation in it onto one standard, with the equipment and analysis they need.

Somewhere a ranger is waiting for a place on a course. You can give it. What they learn, they teach to the people they work with every day.

One instructor. A hundred rangers.
We develop and certify instructors, leaders and analysts inside partner organisations. Their organisations then train their own people, locally and continuously, on their own schedule.

What a euro buys here
5x
For every €1 a commercial provider would charge, our partners receive around €5 of capability development.
Our trainers are salaried, our curriculum is developed once and delivered many times, and our instructors multiply every course they teach. Ask for the comparison and we will show the workings, including where commercial delivery is the better option.
