National Geographic Big Cats Initiative (BCI)

About

 The goal of this fund is to identify projects that will help reduce the decline of African big cats in the wild. It will support projects which advance conservation efforts benefitting big cat populations, protecting and restoring them and their habitats via field-based, action-oriented, direct, and quantifiable strategic programs. 

Eligibility

Organisations can apply for grants, however the project leader within the organisation should apply directly. Payments can still be made and administered by the affiliated organisation. They encourage applications from around the world. If you are planning to work outside of your home country or community, you must include the name and contact information for at least one local collaborator as a project team member in the application.
