Asian Elephant Conservation Fund | Apply Online

Opportunity Information: Apply for F16AS00404

The Asian Elephant Conservation Fund is inviting proposals aimed at conserving the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus), a species currently facing significant threats. Established by the Asian Elephant Conservation Act in 1997, the fund supports projects across the elephant's range, focusing on activities that enhance conservation efforts.

Eligible projects should include applied research on elephant populations and habitats, initiatives to mitigate the removal of wild elephants, and strategies to curb illegal activities such as poaching and ivory trade. Other areas of focus encompass developing conservation management plans, promoting compliance with relevant laws, and enhancing community outreach and education. The fund also supports efforts to reduce human-elephant conflict, improve habitat management, and strengthen local capabilities for conservation initiatives.

Proposals should ideally take place within the Asian elephant's habitat, or if conducted elsewhere, must be clearly connected to Asian elephant conservation. Research projects should directly address management needs and emerging threats like disease and climate change. The fund emphasizes the importance of informed decision-making among stakeholders, including policymakers, educators, and community members, to foster a collaborative effort in wildlife conservation.
