What sort of conservation work would qualify for funding from the Rufford Small Grants Foundation?
A. The Foundation has a broad scope of interest. As well as the conservation of animals in their habitat, it is also keen to support conservation work focusing on threatened habitats, and on other organisms such as plants, fungi, or insects. Beyond this, the overriding requirement is that the work must be of a pragmatic nature, and make a substantial and long lasting impact on the issue in question. There will often be a significant human element to a successful proposal, with community education / involvement being very important.
