Writer

The Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund makes grants to recognize individuals, communities, and organizations in the world for their threatened or poorly known animal, plant, and fungi species conservation efforts. The Fund uses IUCN Red List as the primary guide to the conservation status of a given species. Preference is given to species that face a high threat of extinction (Endangered and Critically Endangered species) and those listed as Data Deficient or unlisted but are suspected as highly threatened. Projects that support the professional development of young conservationists are prioritized. The Fund focuses on ​in situ​ conservation work, but a few ex situ ​conservation projects may also be considered under certain circumstances. Applications must be submitted in English. The application deadlines for the three rounds in 2023 are 28 February, 30 June, and 31 October.


Maximum Amount: up to US$25,000

Submission Deadline: 30 June, 2023 (00:00am GMT)

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.
