Zoological Society of London (ZSL) has partnered with Rainforest Trust and an alliance of conservation NGOs to launch the EDGE Protected and Conserved Area Fund aimed at safeguarding EDGE species - species that are evolutionarily distinct and at the highest risk of extinction. The fund will provide grants to local Civil Society Organizations that are focused on creating or expanding protected and conserved areas for EDGE species across the tropics and subtropics. The fund has two types of grants available: (i) Rapid Feasibility Awards, which seeks projects that evaluate important potential sites for creating new Protected Areas; and (ii) Full Awards, which funds projects with a clear focus on creating new protected or conserved areas or the expansion of the existing areas. Applications for Rapid Awards will be accepted on a rolling basis. Applications for Full Awards are due by 8 May 2023.


Maximum Amount: up to $1,000,000

Submission Deadline: No Deadline (Rapid Feasibility Awards); 8 May, 2023 (Full Awards)

The Global EbA (Ecosystem-based Adaptation) Fund was established to provide rapid and targeted support through seed capital for innovative approaches to Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA). The Global EbA Fund grants should be complementary to and add value to existing work, by filing a gap in an existing project, enhancing the impact of an investment in EbA, contributing to policy upscaling of EbA, and/or serving to develop a larger proposal to another funding mechanism. The Global EbA will make contribution from USD50,000 to USD250,000 to selected projects that target one or more countries which are eligible for official development assistance (ODA) or global or thematic projects.
