Grants to this Grantee
for building fundraising capacity for China Global Investment and Impact program
This grant will support Wildlife Conservation Society's representative office in China to improve the fundraising capacity of its China Global Investment and Impact program.
for support of the Ecological Connectivity in the West project
This grant would support efforts to protect large, ecologically important landscapes in the West by connecting wildlife movement corridors. Three demonstration corridors have been identified by state and federal land managers as a result of the Society’s work. In 2013, the Society will work to secure decisions in federal land management plans regarding these movement corridors.
for support of the Ecological Connectivity in the West project
The Wildlife Conservation Society saves wildlife and wild places around the world through science, global conservation, education, and the management of the world's largest system of urban wildlife parks, led by the flagship Bronx Zoo. This grant supports the Society's North America Program in its efforts to protect large, ecologically important landscapes in the West by connecting wildlife movement corridors. They will accomplish this by working to increase understanding of wildlife migration patterns, supporting landowner efforts to maintain intact ranches, and ensuring that western states incorporate science-based recommendations into habitat protection plans. The Wildlife Conservation Society will focus its work on the ecosystem surrounding Glacier National Park in Montana, the High Divide wildlife movement corridor in central Idaho, and the southern Arizona desert.
