This year the NNF, in partnership with NACSO, would like to dedicate the NNF Environmental Award for 2009 to women in conservation. We wish to recognise the vital role that women play in managing natural resources, in influencing their community and in educating children in the wise and sustainable use of their environment.
We invite our partners in conservation and members of the public to nominate the Namibian woman whom you think has made the most significant contribution to the health of Namibia's environment, to the wise use of natural resources, to sustainable development and to people's understanding and behaviour in managing and protecting the environment.
The purpose of the award is to publicly acknowledge the contributions made by individuals who have significantly furthered the ideals of sustainable development and implemented wise environmental and natural resource management in Namibia.
The award consists of a cash payment of N$10,000 and a framed certificate. The award will be made at a celebratory Function on 18th November.
All Namibians are eligible, with the exception of past NNF Environmental Award winners, NNF and NACSO staff and Trustees and their immediate families.
Anyone may nominate one or more persons for the awards. Nomination forms are available from the NNF or can be downloaded here. They must be completed and returned to the NNF, with any supporting documentation considered appropriate, in a sealed envelope clearly marked Environmental Awards, by 12h00 on Friday 30th October 2009.
