Read about the conservation and research grants funded by the Snow Leopard Trust and Snow Leopard Network
Funding Research, Conservation, and Education projects across the snow leopard's range.
The Snow Leopard Conservation Grants Program supports researchers, conservationists, and educators in snow leopard countries who are working on projects that meet the needs identified in the Snow Leopard Survival Strategy. Grants range from $1,000 and $8,000 (US), with the average grant being about $5,000; the awards have totaled $15,000-$35,000 per year. This grant program began in 2008 and is funded by Snow Leopard Network members and donors, including the Snow Leopard Trust. Prior to 2008, the Snow Leopard Trust independently funded a Small Grants program.
To find out more about the program, including more details on how to apply, see the Snow Leopard Conservation Grants Program page on the Snow Leopard Network website.
The program provides crucial support to people working in snow leopard countries, where resources are often scarce an even a modest grant can make a big difference. It targets resources to the local level, where they can have the most immediate effect. Grant recipients include range-country scientists and educators, international professionals working closely with or hosted by range-country counterparts, and graduate students of many nationalities.
