Description
The Born Free Foundation provides this grant through the Primate Society of Great Britain’s Conservation Subcommittee. It particularly targets primate range-state nationals working in the field on endangered primates or the resolution of conflict between humans and non-human primates. The subcommittee identifies suitable projects and passes them to the Born Free Foundation for acceptance.
The grant sits within PSGB’s broader commitment to work that directly benefits primate conservation and conservation education. This includes addressing threats to populations or constraints on recovery, shifting incentives through education, training, compensation schemes or policy influence, and conducting surveys that direct conservation effort to important locations. Proposals should have specific, attainable conservation goals and demonstrate their significance for the survival of wild primate populations.
