The National Geographic Society is seeking proposals for “Big Cats Conservation Initiative” to advance conservation efforts benefitting big cat populations, protecting and restoring them and their habitats via field-based, action-oriented, direct, and quantifiable strategic programs.
The goal of this fund is to identify projects that will help halt the decline of African big cats in the wild.
BCI conducted an evidence-based analysis to assess big cat conservation in Africa, identify funding gaps, and determine a focused engagement strategy for lion conservation funding (Jacobson and Riggio, 2018).
