Description
1) Objective
ZSL, Rainforest Trust and an alliance of conservation NGOs are proud to announce a bold new US$ 5,000,000 partnership to protect and conserve habitat for the world’s most threatened and evolutionarily distinct species. The EDGE Protected and Conserved Area Fund will provide grants to local Civil Society Organizations that are focused on creating or expanding protected and conserved areas for EDGE species – species that are evolutionarily distinct and at the highest risk of extinction – across the tropics and subtropics. Rapid Feasibility Awards are to encourage conservationists and researchers to evaluate important potential sites for creating new Protected Areas.
The EDGE Protected and Conserved Area Fund will prioritize the establishment or expansion of protected areas for EDGE species based on the following criteria:
- Any CR or EN EDGE species (please consult this curated list) that are currently unprotected in any part of their range; or VU EDGE species that overlap with other CR or EN unprotected species.
- Projects that address priority actions from an existing action plan, including IUCN SSC species action plans, specifically those calling for the establishment of protected areas for key populations.
2) Eligibility
Applications should exhibit clear intent to establish a new Protected Area and one or more of the following: Evaluate land tenure of an unprotected site; Evaluate the presence and abundance of CR and EN species within an unprotected site; Investigate legal processes for potentially designating the site as a nationally recognized protected area or acquiring the long-term lease of gazetted land, where appropriate; Negotiate land prices and gauge willingness to sell privately owned land; or Assessments of community and government interest in protected area establishment.
3) Location
Successful applications will show that the work proposed has clear potential to lead to the creation of a new Protected Area. Project sites must contain IUCN Red List CR or EN species for which the primary threat is habitat loss. Priority acceptance will be given to studies within the tropics that exclude the top 50 wealthiest nations.
4) Budget
Awards average $5,000-10,000.
5) Application
Applications for Rapid Awards will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Step 1 includes the submission of a Concept Note (template can be downloaded from the website) and GIS file. Based on the Concept Note, if your project fits their criteria, you will be contacted to begin work on a more detailed application.
