PTES Conservation Insight Grants

Conservation Insight Grants are for projects focusing on endangered species for up to two years. PTES award funds between £3,000 and £10,000 per annum up to a maximum total of £20,000.

Funds will be awarded for work that seeks to either:

  • Find the critical scientific evidence that will facilitate the conservation of a species
  • Provide the answer to a key conservation question, which will enable conservationists to undertake critical conservation action
  • Undertake the implementation of a key local action which will result in a significantly, positive impact for an endangered species

High priority projects include:

  • Gathering evidence needed to undertake necessary mitigation work
  • Using scientific evidence to get changes made to local, national or international policy
  • Devising and testing a new methodology for monitoring a species or group of species

Priority is also given to applications for conservation and research work on species classified as endangered, critically endangered and extinct in the wild by the IUCN.

They only accept grant requests from applicants already working and established in either the UK, UK overseas territories or any country NOT classified by the World Bank as high-income. Please go to the World Bank web page to check if your country applies. Priority is given to native project leaders working in their own country.

Please note they are no longer accepting any grant applications – for either worldwide or UK work – on bird species. For organisations that do support projects on birds please visit Terra Viva grants.
