Description
The Small Grants Fund, run by World Resources Institute through Global Forest Watch, provides financial and technical support to civil society organizations working in and around forested areas. Global Forest Watch has been renamed Global Nature Watch; the program continues to support organizations using its forest-monitoring tools and data in research, advocacy, and field work.
The fund seeks to help organizations turn forest information into action to reduce illegal or unplanned deforestation and sustainably manage forests. Past projects have used monitoring data to strengthen community land rights, alert authorities to illegal deforestation, and raise awareness of deforestation drivers.
