Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00031
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is inviting project proposals aimed at combating wildlife trafficking, an urgent issue impacting the conservation of various animal and plant species. This initiative stems from President Obama's 2013 Executive Order and the subsequent National Strategy for Combating Wildlife Trafficking launched in 2015. These documents outline the government’s commitment to address the illegal poaching and trade of protected species.
Proposals can focus on several priority areas:
1. **Strengthening CITES**: Projects should help enhance the implementation of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), particularly in key countries and regions that need support to manage the legal trade of listed species effectively.
2. **Good Governance and Anti-Corruption**: Proposals should aim to improve governance and reduce corruption that hinders effective wildlife law enforcement, especially in countries involved in wildlife trafficking.
3. **Africa/Asia Nexus**: This involves fostering cooperation among African and Asian countries to enhance the investigation and prosecution of wildlife crimes, including improving communication and relationships among law enforcement agencies across borders.
4. **Social and Behavior Change Communication**: Proposals should address strategies for changing behaviors in key areas of the wildlife trafficking chain, particularly within demand markets and in transit and supply countries, using evidence-based theories of change.
5. **Conservation of Critically Endangered Species**: Projects should focus on conserving species listed as critically endangered, endangered, or vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, specifically those facing threats from illegal trade. Priority is given to certain species not already funded by other government programs.
The USFWS aims to fund projects that align with these priorities to enhance collaborative efforts against wildlife trafficking globally.Apply for F17AS00031
