Support our work

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.

WHY THIS MONEY MULTIPLIES

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.
