The Department of Environmental Protection is offering the Wildlife Conservation Grant for Latin America & the Caribbean to fund projects aimed at enhancing the management and conservation of species, habitats, and ecological processes in the region. The program focuses on strengthening the capacity of institutions to effectively manage natural protected areas, transitioning them from ‘paper parks’ to actively maintained landscapes. Priority is given to projects that support training for various key stakeholders such as protected area managers, community leaders, and decision-makers. Projects should be based in Latin America or the Caribbean, particularly in high priority ecosystems or locations associated with important species. Applications are due by April 15, 2009.

| Description: | The Wildlife Without Borders-Latin America and the Caribbean Program (WWB-LAC) funds projects designed to strengthen the ability of Latin American and Caribbean institutions to manage and conserve species, habitats and ecological processes for the benefit of the people of the Americas and the world. Of particular interest are projects that build the human and institutional capacity to effectively conserve and manage natural protected areas in Latin America and the Caribbean.Program objectives are:1) To advance, through capacity building, the transition of protected areas from legally established but under-implemented paper parks to effectively managed landscapes, benefiting species of regional concern; and2) To develop, strengthen and replicate high-quality conservation training programs that reach the priority audiences associated with protected areas.The priority audiences for the training supported by this Program include: Protected area managers and administrators; Protected area guards and rangers; Protected area outreach and education specialists; Community leaders (living in and around protected areas); Upper-level students (working on projects in and around protected areas); and Decision-makers who influence protected areas (including private landowners, legislators, public officials).Projects should take place in Latin America or the Caribbean, ideally in a recognized high priority ecosystem or ecoregion of biome, or a key location associated with flagship, endangered or migratory species of regional concern. If work is to be conducted outside that region, the proposal must explain why it is preferable that the project is implemented elsewhere. |
