Grant Description

The Wildlife Without Borders- Critically Endangered Animals Conservation Fund will fund projects that conserve the world’s most endangered species. Critically endangered species are those that face an extremely high risk of extinction in the immediate future. Funding is limited to vertebrate species with natural habitat ranges in developing countries. Species eligible for funding under one of the Multinational Species Conservation Fund programs are not eligible for funding through this initiative. The species excluded from this program’s funding are: Asian elephant, African elephant, rhinoceros (all species), tiger (all sub-species), gorilla, chimpanzee, bonobo, orangutan, gibbons (all species) and marine turtles (all species). Also excluded are amphibian groups that are eligible for funding through the Wildlife Without Borders-Amphibians in Decline (WWB-AD). These include frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and caecilians The goal of this grants program is to provide funding for specific conservation actions that have a high likelihood of creating durable benefits to specific species facing immediate threat of extinction, such as: - Protection of at-risk populations - Veterinary/wildlife health interventions - Public education/outreach - Applied and well-focused research that would lead to immediate action - Activities related to execution of species survival plans - Conservation and management of critical habitat - Strengthening local capacity to conserve the target species - Actions addressing unsustainable exploitation - Efforts to mitigate or stop wildlife-human conflict - Rehabilitation and rescue
