Whitley Wildlife Conservation Trust Grants (£1,500) to Individuals Undertaking Nature Conservation Projects

Deadline: 31 October 2018

Trust is currently inviting applicants for the December round of its 2018 grant program for individuals undertaking nature conservation projects. Projects may involve practical habitat or species management, research, training, education, awareness raising or campaigning.

The Trust will be accepting applications for work benefitting reptile & amphibian conservation. The Whitley Wildlife Conservation Trust is a registered education, scientific and conservation charity established in 1957 and based in Devon, UK.

Grant Information

The Trust awards grants to both UK and overseas projects, and they typically range in value from £500 to £1,500.

It is unlikely that the Trust would make an award for more than £1,500.

Eligibility Criteria

• The Awards are open to all, and each application is judged on its own merits, however there are a number of topics that the Awards Committee are particularly interested in, which are detailed below:
• Research into the ecology of rare and threatened species and habitats.
• Projects which aim to encourage increased awareness of ecology, conservation and environmental issues in local communities, and to educate people on how to develop and carry out sustainable management practices in those communities.
• Research into how human activity affects species and habitats, and how any potential human-animal conflict can be managed.
• Projects which aim to design and implement conservation education programmes.
• Research into the welfare and breeding success of animals in captivity.
