25 million Euro fund for species conservation worldwide

A new fund has been established to boost species conservation and to help push it to the forefront of the environmental debate.

The fund was initiated by His Highness Sheikh Mohames bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Unites Arab Emirates. The Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund amounting to 25 million Euros, is now open for grant applications in the field of species conservation.

The Fund will provide grants targeted at individual species conservation initiatives, recognize leaders in the field and help to raise the importance of species conservation in the broader conservation debate. The focus of this Fund is global and eligibility for grants will extend to conservation efforts relating to all plant and animal species, without discrimination.

Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed is a passionate conservationist and environmental protection is one of his highest priorities. With the establishment of the Species Conservation Fund he hopes to make a genuine contribution to species conservation worldwide.
