Opportunity Information: Apply for F16AS00106
The Combating Wildlife Trafficking grant opportunity aims to support projects that align with the U.S. government’s strategy to tackle the illegal wildlife trade, originally outlined by President Obama in 2014. The initiative focuses on three main strategic priorities: strengthening enforcement, reducing demand for illegal wildlife, and expanding international cooperation.
1. **Strengthen Enforcement**: This priority includes assistance for foreign governments to enhance their capacity to fight wildlife trafficking. Efforts may focus on creating stronger laws, protecting borders, and prosecuting traffickers. Additionally, community-based conservation is emphasized, encouraging local participation in wildlife protection while providing economic incentives to deter poaching. The use of effective technologies and analytical tools for wildlife trafficking investigations is also supported.
2. **Reduce Demand for Illegally Traded Wildlife**: The grant will fund initiatives aimed at raising public awareness about the impacts of wildlife trafficking and shifting consumer behavior to reduce demand. This may involve campaigns targeting specific consumer groups and collaborating with the private sector to inform consumers about the consequences of purchasing illegal wildlife products.
3. **Expand International Cooperation**: The grant will support strengthening international agreements that protect wildlife, particularly the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). Furthermore, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will encourage bilateral and regional cooperation with other governments to address wildlife trafficking effectively.
Proposals can address any of the objectives outlined in the implementation plan, with priority given to those that target these key areas of focus.Apply for F16AS00106
