Hi everyone! This is my drift for the chevening post-study plans essay. I'd really appreciate if you guys could take a look at if for me and help me improve my grammar and the general essay content. Thanks in advance!
Chevening is looking for individuals who have a clear post-study career plan. Please outline your immediate plans upon returning home and your longer term career goals. You may wish to consider how these relate to what the UK government is doing in your country. (minimum word count: 100 words, maximum word count: 500 words)
In spite of the environmental policies adopted by several governments around the world, only a deep understanding of natural processes can allow us to succeed in tackling the loss of biodiversity. Bearing these considerations in mind, I have established my immediate and long-term career plans early in my academic life.
The lack of effective methods for the reproduction of endangered species in captivity and their further reintroduction in protected areas, has led me to carry out my undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences and work as a conservation biologist.
The improvements that I have made as head biologist at the Projeto Asas Vila Verde (a wild animal release centre) has shown me how much I can contribute to the conservation of nature. Despite this, I feel that in order to continue my progress, I must develop a deeper and wider range of science-based knowledge. Therefore, I will undertake my PhD in Conservation Biology as soon as I return to Brazil with the purpose of synchronizing the advanced research that I will have developed in the UK with specific Brazilian needs.
The Illegal Wildlife Trade Challenge Fund established by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs of the UK government has committed £14 million to 47 projects in more than 30 countries since 2013. None of them in South America. None of them in Brazil. It is unacceptable that such global effort have not yet reached one of the world's most biodiverse country. Thus, my immediate goal is to ensure that the Brazilian conservation projects will be contemplated in as many international conservation funds as possible.
I plan to create an organization that encourages and supports conservation start-ups and public-private partnerships in Brazil. Working alongside a strong network of researchers and technicians engaged in creating study groups and commissions, I plan to approach governmental agencies, universities, NGOs and private corporations.
By incentivising the development of wildlife and research centres, as well as the creation of new protected areas, I intend to help endangered species to recover and to reduce extinction rates.
My aim is to provide science-based policies at an international level, fulfilling my long-term goal of being to carry out applied research for the development of innovative strategies in wildlife conservation worldwide.
The UK government has been helping developing countries to prevent the loss of biodiversity through the International Climate Fund in support of REDD+. Through the UK Science and Innovation Network, I plan to increase dialogue between Brazil and the UK in order to improve research funding mechanisms such as the Newton Fund and the Darwin Initiative, and also to create new schemes. Ultimately, my final goal is to strengthen their ongoing bilateral cooperation agreed at the international climate change conference in Cancun and at the conference on biodiversity in Nagoya in 2010.
After implementing effective environmental policies in Brazil, I plan to apply my knowledge and experience to the conservation of other biodiversity hotspots, such as the Caribbean Islands, the Tropical Andes and the Mediterranean Basin.
