WWF India Small Grants Programme.
With the aim of encouraging young Indians to respond innovatively and
independently to the conservation issues which affect the country, WWF-India is
offering eligible individuals a one-time grant of up to Rs. 200,000 for
carrying out conservation research or undertaking a conservation project. The primary
objective of this grant is to provide financial capacity to individuals based in
India, who have developed and wish to implement short-term conservation research
or initiatives that can contribute to larger conservation goals. The SGP will provide grants to individuals for activities and/or research that address
issues and offer solutions or insights towards: species and habitat related
problems and concerns – with a focus on immediate threats and issues (e.g.
vulture conservation); enabling communities and other stakeholders to address local
environmental concerns; improving local livelihoods through conservation and
natural resources management or promoting livelihoods that reduce impacts on biodiversity;
aspects of trade involving wildlife species; increasing understanding on the
status of lesser known or lesser studied species of wildlife; innovative approaches
to awareness raising regarding environmental concerns; and demonstrating
individual or collective action towards conservation outcomes. Applicants must
demonstrate a mature breadth and depth of knowledge on the area of
environmental conservation and the particular geographical area or issue that
they wish to contribute to through their project. The duration of the project
should be between 6 to 12 months and the scale of the project should
be such that funding awarded covers the total or the majority of the
requirements.
