Endangered species conservation
Description:
Funds will be awarded for work that aims to generate the scientific evidence that will facilitate the conservation of a species. The evidence may include testing a conservation intervention to address a particular threat, or answer a key conservation question, which will enable conservationists to undertake critical conservation action.
Recently funded projects include trialing livestock insurance schemes, learning more about dietary needs to inform habitat creation, testing wildlife bridge designs and testing conservation translocation methods.
High priority projects include:
- Gathering evidence needed to undertake necessary mitigation work
- Using scientific evidence to get changes made to local, national or international policy
- Devising and testing a new methodology for monitoring a species or group of species
- Priority is also given to applications for conservation and research work on species classified as endangered, critically endangered and extinct in the wild by the IUCN.
We only accept grant requests from applicants already working and established in either the UK, UK overseas territories or any country NOT classified by the World Bank as high-income. Please go to the World Bank web page to check if your country applies. Priority is given to native project leaders working in their own country.
