The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is seeking applications for the €100,000 Land Acquisition Fund to provide funds for local NGOs and CSOs to acquire threatened nature, create safe reserves and connect wildlife habitats for endangered species.
.
The fund supports land purchase, long-term lease of land and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECM). Since its foundation in 2001, LAF has enabled the purchase/lease of over 320,000 hectares. The LAF is supported by a growing number of private donors. This project proposal briefing outlines the practical details and requirements for applications.
.
Funding Information
- The maximum financial assistance provided by LAF is 100,000 euro. Co-funding of projects is possible when the impact of the IUCN NL grant is clearly visible and constitutes a substantial part of the overall budget, or when the IUCN NL grant can trigger other donors to contribute. Besides the acquisition of land, the LAF grants can also be used for initial investments to secure the sustainability and conservation impact of the purchase (fencing, signboards, guard’s salary and accommodation, etc). Please note that costs for these investments may take up a maximum of 25 to 30% the requested budget.
Eligibility:
- Proposals can be submitted by local NGOs and CSOs with:
- experience and capacity concerning the effective management of a conservation area, and
- experience and capacity in the field of project management, financial management and – control
