We have been humbled to receive so many messages of support from you, our wonderful WFN family. Here’s a roundup of your reactions to the 2021 Whitley Awards…
IMO, this is the single most efficient conservation charity – sponsoring the finest local conservationists around the world to ensure that local voices are given the resources to come up with local solutions to local conservation issues. 💪💪💪 to all the @WhitleyAwards winners! https://t.co/AefGacq9yG

I am absolutely OVER THE MOON that my Naga conservationist friend, Nuklu Phom, is one of the recipients of this year’s @WhitleyAwards. What a boon for conservation efforts in Nagaland and Northeast India. Off to drink some bubbly and do a little jig.
