Ocean Park Conservation Foundation Hong Kong (OPCFHK) solicits projects on threatened wildlife and their habitats throughout Asia. The Foundation supports two types of projects in the 2023/2024 funding cycle: regular projects (1 to 2 years) and long-term projects (3 to 5 years). Regular projects should address either wildlife conservation or social science-based conservation whereas long-term projects must address both. Proposals are accepted from anywhere in the world, but the work must be conducted in Asia plus Papua New Guinea. Priority will be given to projects located in Hong Kong among applications of similar quality. Coastal countries connected to Asia where funding is limited and with threatened wide-ranging Asian species, will be considered. Higher funding priority will be given to projects that are led by local researchers as Principal Investigators and focus on one or more of the three main themes — climate change, marine conservation, endangered terrestrial and freshwater wildlife. 

  

Maximum Amount: HK$250,000–HK$300,000 (regular; no upper limit); HK$1,000,000 (long-term)

Submission Deadline: 31 January, 2023 (12:00pm GMT+8)

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.
