Request for Proposals for Iguana Conservation

The International Iguana Foundation is pleased to announce their annual request for proposals for iguana conservation. To download the application and budget forms, please go to www.iguanafoundation.org and click on Grants. A sample of a model application is also available to serve as a guide for applicants and to ensure consistency in format.

If you wish to submit, please note that all applications are due by end of business day, October 8, 2010. Please do not copy the application for further distribution to others. Final decisions will be made early in November 2010 at the annual Board of Directors meeting.

The International Iguana Foundation awards were established to promote and enable iguana conservation through partnerships with scientists, educators, and organizations committed to preserving earth’s biodiversity.

PREFERENCE WILL BE GIVEN TO:

• Projects that are components of approved Species Recovery Plans
• Projects that are included in the ISG’s Conservation Action Plan for West Indian Iguanas or are ISG endorsed
• Projects that directly contribute to the survival of endangered iguanas and their habitats
• Projects that are part of an established conservation program.

1. The project has range country participation and has matching funds.
2. The project builds on previous work contributing to an established commitment to a conservation program OR is well suited to become/contribute to a long-term conservation program.
3. The project is grounded in sound scientific methodology logistically feasible, and has a high probability of success.
4. The project has conservation value and a measurable impact.

NOTE:

• A project final report is required one year from receipt of funds and is mandatory for consideration of any future requests for funding. In addition, this year the IIF will require a condensed report, with photos, that is ready for posting on our website: www.iguanafoundation.org. This report should be “web palatable” and geared for public consumption, and not highly technical in nature.
  
  New applications will not be considered if these reports have not been received.
