About the Organization

Together we can stop this loss of wildlife. That’s why People’s Trust for Endangered Species exists. For over 40 years our charity has improved the outlook of endangered species in Britain and throughout the world.

Passion drives our work but it’s grounded in science. We invest in research and test the best ways to protect endangered species in their natural habitats. Then we put what works into action, creating vibrant wildlife havens.

We’re a team of 18 staff and five trustees, but our reach is far wider than this. Our wonderful volunteers give up their time to take part in our research, and we work alongside scientists, conservationists, landowners, government and the general public.

About the Grant

Our Conservation Insight Grants are for projects focusing on endangered species for up to two years. We 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.

We 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.
