Description
The Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund provides small, targeted grants to support the conservation of individual species globally, with a focus on field-based (in situ) initiatives. Projects may address any plant, animal, or fungi species, with particular priority for those that are endangered, critically endangered, or data deficient according to the IUCN Red List or other credible assessments. The Fund aims to empower conservationists and elevate the importance of species in the global conservation dialogue, supporting both established and grassroots efforts without regional or taxonomic restrictions.
