The Born Free Foundation, the internationally renowned animal welfare and
wildlife conservation organisation, is seeking to recruit a Network Facilitator

or Mumbai, India.
The Satpuda Landscape Tiger Programme (SLTP) is a network of like-minded
organisations and conservationists committed to the conservation of tigers
and tiger habitat in Central India. The Satpuda forests of Madhya Pradesh
and Maharashtra offer perhaps the best hope for India's remaining 2,200
wild tigers. Comprising several Tiger Reserves connected by forest corridors,
this is the largest viable block of tiger habitat in India. SLTP, developed
by the Born Free Foundation and the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit
at the University of Oxford, brings together Indian conservationists working
in seven Tiger Reserves across this very important tiger range. Born Free
has been supporting the field conservation activities of all SLTP partners
for a decade.

between all partners in India and the UK, drafting of funding proposals,
compilation of reports, generating news stories for media, and assisting
with partners and donors with travel logistics.
This is a part-time position of approximately 20 to 30 hours per week.
Remuneration is commensurate with qualifications and previous experience;
salary and expenses will be paid against invoicing by international transfer.

be an enthusiastic and committed conservationist
