Climate Adaptation Fund, Supported by Duke Foundation, To Enable Conservation Projects In Urban Centers
A grant program managed by the Wildlife Conservation Society is exploring new methods for helping wildlife in the United States to adapt to rapidly shifting environmental conditions brought about by climate change.
WCS is calling for project proposals for grants provided through the Climate Adaptation Fund, a program started in 2011 and made possible by a gift from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. This year’s round of grantmaking will extend the range of potential grants to include applications for wildlife and ecosystem adaptation projects located in and around urban centers.
“The Climate Adaptation Fund’s additional focus on supporting biodiversity-focused climate adaptation projects in and around urban locations will complement the Fund’s existing emphasis on less developed areas and the wildlife they support,” said Darren Long, Program Director for the Climate Adaptation Fund. . .
