Global Gibbon Champions Awards 2025

Annual wards to recognise outstanding work by habitat country conservationists for their efforts to save gibbons. In order to create and activate positive change in wildlife conservation, local NGO’s working for gibbon conservation need more access to opportunities, resources and networks.

The goal of the Global Gibbon Champion awards is to provide international recognition support for capacity strengthening and increased access to the opportunities and resources that local gibbon NGO’s need to prepare or continue their work in wildlife conservation. Each year two individuals, who are pursuing opportunities to further their own conservation career development and to engage their community in wildlife conservation, will receive an award based on the strength of their application. Applications must include participation in wildlife conservation activities; focus of work; statements of objectives; and 1 letter of recommendation.
