Description
1) Objective
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s mission is to work with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The International Affairs Program delivers on this mission through its financial assistance programs by supporting strategic projects that deliver measurable conservation results for priority species and their habitats around the world. The Rhinoceros and Tiger Conservation Act was passed in 1994 to provide financial resources for conservation of rhinoceroses and tiger populations. This Funding Opportunity aligns with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (Service) mission. The Rhinoceros and Tiger Conservation Fund (RTCF) is soliciting proposals for the conservation of rhinoceros and/or tigers throughout their ranges.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s African Rhinoceros conservation program prioritizes projects involving direct site-based conservation actions for Key 1, Key 2, and other populations that are important to the survival of critically endangered species of rhinoceros. Funding decisions will consider the significance of the particular population to the survival of the species.
Proposed project work should occur within rhinoceros range, or if work is to be conducted outside of the range, the proposal should show clear relevance to rhinoceros field conservation actions. Proposals must identify immediate threats to rhinoceros survival and support direct conservation activities to eliminate or reduce those threats. Biological management of rhinoceros populations should be considered. Proposed projects should demonstrate how they address regional and/or national rhinoceros management plans.
