Opportunity Summary:
Wildlife Without Borders - Amphibians in Decline is a discretionary grant and cooperative agreement opportunity from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service designed to slow and reverse the global collapse of amphibian populations. The program focuses on conserving frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and caecilians, groups that are experiencing unusually high extinction risk worldwide. A key emphasis is directing support to amphibian species whose native ranges fall in countries with the greatest need for conservation funding, with the intent of filling critical gaps where local resources are limited but conservation action could make a measurable difference.
The grants are meant to pay for concrete, on-the-ground conservation actions that are likely to produce durable, long-lasting benefits for species facing extinction. The scope is intentionally practical and action-oriented. Priority activities include protecting at-risk populations in the wild, carrying out veterinary or wildlife health interventions (for example, disease response or other health-related actions), and implementing conservation and management of critical habitat. The program also supports applied, well-focused research, but only where the work clearly leads to near-term decisions or immediate conservation action rather than open-ended study. In addition, projects that help execute species survival plans are within scope, as are efforts that build and strengthen local capacity to conserve target species, such as training, institutional strengthening, and improving local management capability.
The opportunity explicitly welcomes proposals that address human-driven pressures on amphibians. That includes actions aimed at reducing or stopping unsustainable exploitation (such as over-collection or trade), mitigating or preventing human-wildlife conflict where it affects amphibian survival, and conducting public education and outreach that changes behaviors contributing to amphibian decline. Rehabilitation and rescue activities are also listed as eligible, indicating the program can support interventions that directly handle animals when appropriate and tied to conservation outcomes.
In terms of funding size and structure, the program anticipated making about 20 awards with an estimated total funding pool of $600,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a $5,000 minimum to a $50,000 maximum. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, which can reduce barriers for organizations or individuals that do not have additional funds available to meet match expectations. The funding activity category is wildlife conservation, listed under an "Other" category with clarification provided in the announcement.
Eligibility is broad and includes nonprofits (both with and without 501(c)(3) status, excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories), U.S. city or township governments, county governments, state governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and individuals. The opportunity was posted on May 17, 2010, with an application deadline of June 15, 2010, and it was archived on July 15, 2010. The funding opportunity number is DICWWBAD, and the CFDA number is listed as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified).
