Grant News

The People's Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) has launched a new round of Conservation Insight Grants. The Conservation Insight Grants provide funding of between £3,000 and £10,000 per annum up to a maximum total of £20,000 to support innovative conservation projects around the world.

The grants are open to conservationists and scientific researchers working on species listed by the IUCN as endangered or more threatened. Projects must be experimental in nature and test new methods for conservation.

Funds will be awarded for work that seeks to either:

• Find the critical scientific evidence that will facilitate the conservation of a species
• Provide the answer to a key conservation question, which will enable conservationists to undertake critical conservation action
• Undertake the implementation of a key local action which will result in a significantly, positive impact for an endangered species

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

The deadline for applications is 11.59 pm on Sunday 25th August 2024.
