"This initiative is highly commendable, and I believe it will be a valuable resource for individuals and organizations committed to conservation, especially for local conservationists like myself. I am very excited that this e-learning center is freely accessible to everyone, and contributes significantly to the development of self-led organizations on conservation issues."

"For years [CFC] was my quiet check-in, my way of asking honestly: are we really growing? Today I lead a different organisation, in a different country and a different reality, and I still use it. Because wherever we are, those of us working in environmental NGOs are all in the same boat, with the same challenges and dreams."

"Capacity for Conservation (CfC) is an invaluable tool for those looking to strengthen their organisations through guidance on strategic planning. The Rufford Foundation has found it particularly useful during the piloting of its Organisational Grants programme that aims to provide multi-year support to small, local NGOs that need help with strategic planning and strengthening of their organisation’s capacity and long-term sustainability. The foundation uses CfC in its application form and encourages organisations see it as a tool to highlight areas that need specific development or improvement. "
