save the tiger fund accepting proposals

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

This came through my inbox this morning and I thought it would maybe be of

interest to some. I don't know anything about the award, so please don't reply

to me, but I think you can look at the NFWF website for more info.

Save The Tiger Fund Issues Request for Proposals

 

Deadline: December 1, 2005

 

The Save The Tiger Fund ( http://www.nfwf.org/programs/stf.htm ),

a partnership of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation,

the ExxonMobil Foundation, and the Critical Ecosystem

Partnership Fund, invests in a variety of projects that

increase cooperation and communication, build local leader-

ship, and deliver effective on-the-ground conservation to

tigers in human-dominated landscapes. STF supports tiger

conservation projects across tigers' range, in the U.S.,

and in Europe.

 

Applications to STF should demonstrate conservation need

and anticipated benefits to wild tiger populations;

improved management/protection of occupied and/or suitable

tiger habitats; enhanced prey protection measures for

in situ efforts; substantive cooperation and coordination

with other conservation organizations; integration of

tiger-range governments and local communities into the

project; capacity building among local organizations and

government staff; lack of duplication and conflict with

other ongoing conservation efforts; methods for resolving

conflicts between tiger conservation and the livelihood of

surrounding communities; an understanding of and strategy

for integrating the specific project into the larger

context of the broad conservation needs/goals of the

relevant tiger landscape; appropriate qualifications and

strong track record of staff; integration of program

monitoring and evaluation; and ability to use an STF grant

to leverage additional resources.

 

STF does not require pre-proposals but encourages appli-

cants to submit a brief email or letter notifying the

fund of their intent to submit a project proposal.

 

Visit the NFWF Web site for complete program guidelines

and an application form.
