Writer

The goal of this request for funding is to halt further biodiversity decline by implementing conservation plans for species and groups of species. It is required that all applications should include a letter of endorsement signed by Chair, Regional or Thematic Leader of the relevant IUCN SSC Species Specialist Group. This endorsement letter should indicate that the proposal either: 


  • Explicitly address priorities defined in a published IUCN SSC action plan, which you can find here and here.
  • Addresses a conservation action identified as a priority even though no plan for the particular species or group of species has yet been published Please note that applications without a completed and signed endorsement letter will not be considered.


Proposals that focus on the following themes are encouraged: 

  • Specific and defensible priority actions to avert decline of a species or group of species
  • Projects that include the active involvement of early career conservationists
  • Projects that support conservation leaders from the countries where the species or group of species occur


Typical proposal requests should be less than $30,000; however, applicants may request up to $50,000. 


Deadline: 22 April, 2020

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.
