Voting opens for EOCA's new funding round
In line with the association’s two year focus, Wild for Nature; EOCA’s Landscape Legacy Project, all projects are tackling biodiversity loss in extraordinary landscapes around the world.
EOCA received nearly 250 applications for funding and the assessment process create a shortlist of 17 projects which best met the association’s criteria.
Catherine Savidge, Joint General Manager, said: “The number of applications received during this funding round demonstrates just how important and needed the funding that EOCA members provide is. Right now, COP 15 is taking place in China, where governments are meeting to agree a new set of goals to address the deterioration of nature and biodiversity worldwide.
“With healthy habitats vital for the health of the planet, EOCA is calling for ambitious goals to be set at that conference through its partnership with Business for Nature. At the same time, it is also, once again, funding vital, on the ground, conservation work around the world, to tackle this real threat of loss of biodiversity, thanks to the funding made available by its members. We encourage everyone to get involved, to support the 17 projects shortlisted by EOCA for funding.”
