Where are the best current conservation opportunities?
If you personally were given a million dollars to spend on conservation with no strings attached, where
would you spend it? Or ten million or a hundred thousand?
I ask this of fellow SCB members not as an escapist fantasy but because your answers would provide
useful guidance to a new conservation organization that has money to spend and is looking for the best
current opportunities in the tropics and other priority areas. The International Conservation Fund of
Canada works by partnering with experienced NGOs and individuals and focuses on direct conservation
action rather than research or ICDPs (integrated conservation and development projects). We are
particularly interested in helping with underfinanced protected areas and effective programs already in
existence.
We are asking for specific suggestions that you personally think are highly worthwhile, rather than a list of
projects needing funding at your affiliated organization.
message to Anne Lambert, (Lambert@ICFCanada.org) and will be gratefully received.
