ecosystems through carnivore protection and recovery
Posted by the Wildlife Network on May 11, 1999
This is a request for proposals for a Bioregional Strategic Planning (BSP)
pilot program to create healthy ecosystems through carnivore protection and
recovery. The purpose of this program is to bring together potential allies
to craft a 2 to 5 year strategic plan for sustaining healthy ecosystems
through carnivore protection and recovery.
Groups working on wildlife, biodiversity, animal, wilderness, habitat
protection and resource related issues are encouraged to apply. Applicants
must have a strong commitment to wildlife and/or resource protection, have
experience and skill organizing collaborative efforts, and have a 501.C3

The Wildlife Network, a project of Earth Island Institute, with the support
of The Summerlee Foundation, is coordinating a $25,000 grant for the
Bioregional Strategic Planning (BSP) pilot program as well as providing
technical and facilitation assistance.
The grant procedures include Phase I - the initial screening application,
and Phase II, the full application process. Five applicants who meet the
guidelines from Phase I will be asked to complete the Phase II application
procedure. Application deadline for Phase I is July 15, 1999. The funding
covers steering committee meetings, workshops, research, communication
networking, and a two-day summit.
