Initiative
SOS African Wildlife

Projects funded under the initiative will also empower civil society organisations which will work with relevant authorities and involve local communities in finding solutions to prevent their extinction. Concrete outputs expected include increases in the populations of species targeted by each project, increases in the availability of critical habitat areas, and a reduction of direct threats and conflicts.


About our projects on the ground
SOS African Wildlife provides two main types of small to medium sized grants:
- Threatened Species Grants are awarded through periodic Calls for Proposals for projects that have a programmatic approach to addressing existing conservation threats to carnivores and prey species, and are available to Civil Society Organisations only.
- Rapid Action Grants are awarded through an open-ended Call for Proposals. They are designed to enable immediate responses to new and emerging threats.
Any active Calls for Proposals are posted on the Calls for Proposals web-page.
