Practical scientific training for individuals and organisations involved with conservation in Africa, Southern Asia and Eastern Europe. Many conservation organisations in Africa, Southern Asia and Eastern Europe have very limited funding for training staff members. The Capacity Building Programme responds to this need and as a result raises the ability (or 'builds capacity') of these organisations to practice effective conservation. The programme aims to:

• bring together conservationists, scientists and research staff from around a region or within the same field of research to share ideas, best practise and to learn by others examples.
• equip participants with the skills and knowledge to collect and process environmental data.
• provide young scientists with the inspiration and confidence to initiate their own research programme.

Since 1995, more than 1000 individuals have benefited from this programme.
