Dr. Abigail Ross Foundationfor Applied Conservation: 2027 Applied Conservation Grants
All Information
This grant supports applied conservation research and community-based projects that contribute directly to the conservation of non-human primates and their habitats. Its global programme is designed for conservationists working in primate-range countries, including researchers, early-career professionals, graduate students and eligible NGOs. Projects may investigate threatened primate populations, habitat degradation, human-wildlife conflict, community conservation, conservation education or public and environmental health issues connected to primate conservation. Strong applications should show a clear conservation need, scientifically credible methods, locally grounded implementation and measurable outcomes. The 2027 round gives priority consideration to members of the February 2027 Conservation Masterminds cohort, but the public call remains open to all eligible applicants.
