February 2009 | CCC announces the first cohort of CCC Fellows!  In February, 2009, the Center for Collaborative Conservation awarded 17 fellowships which form the first cohort of CCC Fellows.  These fellows include 11 graduate students, 3 faculty members and 3 conservation practitioners (undergraduates will work with some of these fellows this year).  The Fellows are from 5 nations around the globe (and working in 3 more) and represent 6 departments and 3 colleges at Colorado State University, and 3 NGO’s doing conservation work in Colorado, South Dakota and Africa.  They are working on problems as diverse as marine conservation in the Philippines, to pasture management in Mongolia, to elephant-people conflicts in Tanzania.  In Colorado, four fellows are working on better understanding how collaboratives work and how they can work better through using both market and non-market-based incentives for conservation.
