Kenton Miller Award Programme

by IUCN - Internat. Union for Conservation of Nature

Project Report | Sep 29, 2014
Recognizing innovative and inspiring people through the Kenton Miller Award. Who can be nominated ?

By Diana Rodrigues | Communications and Membership Support

One aspect of the program is the prestigious Kenton Miller Award given at a major conservation event by IUCN's World Commission on Protected Areas. (The US$ 5000 stipend and certification are presented at a major conservation event.)

The program’s principal goal is to share the work of conservation innovators globally.

The most recent award given in 2012 at the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Jeju, South Korea honored the work of Oscar Loayza of Bolivia for the development of initiatives that strengthened indigenous participation in the management of protected areas, leading to improved governance.

Who can be nominated?

Ideally, nominees are employed by an organization that is involved with protected area management, associated education or research. The organization can be public, private, NGO or community-based;

Their innovation will fall within or any combination of the following categories:

Communications;
Planning and Management;
Finance and Economics;
Assessment, Monitoring, and Evaluation;
Learning and Capacity Building; and,
Governance.

The impact of his/her innovation can be demonstrated and will have been recognized and endorsed by peers at the local, national, and/or international level.

The Award will give preference to candidates that have not been previously recognized internationally for their innovation.

The Award will not cover recognition for life-time service to protected areas or for bravery in their defense (as these merits are intended to be recognized by the IUCN/WCPA Packard Award).

Nominations for the Kenton Miller award now closed.
