About the Organization

People’s Trust for Endangered Species was set up in 1977 to save our wildlife. We are governed by a board of volunteer trustees and our team of staff are passionate about protecting endangered species and places.

Everything we do is based on scientific evidence. We gather this through surveys, which you can take part in, and by awarding research grants to the most inspiring scientists worldwide. This evidence guides our conservation efforts and is shared through our events and publications.

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.
