We train and support people from all sectors and backgrounds to restore and conserve tropical forest landscapes using strategies that support biodiversity and livelihoods.
The Environmental Leadership & Training Initiative (ELTI) is a capacity development program of the Yale School of the Environment (YSE). ELTI trains and supports people from all sectors and backgrounds to restore and conserve tropical forest landscapes using strategies that support biodiversity and livelihoods. Since 2006, ELTI has trained over 7,800 leaders throughout the tropics.
Students can engage with ELTI in a variety of ways including student internships, seminars and field trips, and summer research at ELTI sites in the tropics. We also invite you to engage with us for connections to our vast global network of partners and alumni, to access our extensive educational resources on tropical forest landscape management and to learn more about our 10+ years of experience working on capacity development.
