Opportunity Information: Apply for RTCF2011
The Rhinoceros and Tiger Conservation Fund is inviting proposals aimed at the conservation of rhinoceroses and tigers in their natural habitats. Established by the Rhinoceros and Tiger Conservation Act of 1994, this fund provides financial support for programs that impact these species and their environments.
Key areas of focus for funded projects include:
- Conducting applied research on rhinoceros and tiger populations and their habitats, including surveys and monitoring initiatives. - Developing and implementing effective management plans for rhinoceros and tiger conservation. - Ensuring compliance with relevant treaties and laws to prevent illegal activities affecting these species. - Engaging in conservation education and outreach within local communities. - Enhancing protection measures for threatened rhinoceros and tiger populations. - Addressing and reducing human-wildlife conflicts involving rhinoceroses and tigers. - Managing and conserving habitats critical to these species. - Overseeing protected areas and reserves that serve as vital habitats. - Building local capacity for effective conservation program implementation. - Facilitating cross-border conservation efforts for rhinoceroses and tigers. - Improving wildlife inspection, law enforcement, and forensics capabilities.
Proposals must primarily target activities within the natural ranges of these species, but work conducted outside these areas must demonstrate clear relevance to rhinoceros and tiger conservation. Research proposals should focus on addressing specific management needs and tackling emerging threats like disease and climate change that impact these animals and their habitats.Apply for RTCF2011
