- Has demonstrated leadership, entrepreneurship and a clear view on conservation work.
- Has been creative and innovative in his/her work.
- Has demonstrated to be honourable in the conservation work performed.

- The award should be used for a conservation initiative of the winner’s own choice and implemented by him/her.
