Call for Nominations for the 2021 Assisi Award

[Alex Greene]

Dear Religion and Conservation Biology Working Group,

We are inviting nominations for the 2021 Assisi Award!

The Assisi Award recognizes that religious and spiritual motivation springs from the depths of
being, and is an enduring source of meaning for billions on the planet. As such, it constitutes a fundamental driver of conservation action. This awards reinforces the ongoing dialogue
amongst faiths and conservation by acknowledging organizations and individuals that are
demonstrating through their successes that faith-based conservation is contributing significantly to the common global effort of conserving life on Earth. The award targets initiatives from around the world that are conceived in the context of both mainstream religious groups and indigenous spiritual traditions.

The Assisi Award will be presented (in person or virtually) at the ICCB in December 2021.
