Institutional fundraising for conservation projects

Abstract

As conservationists we need no reminder that the world’s people are currently facing the largest challenge in human history: to safeguard the planet and its precious biodiversity for current and future generations. Difficult choices need to be made and will become increasingly tougher during this century. Securing larger amounts of funds to protect species, sites, habitats and larger ecosystems is critical. Funding for public education and awareness-raising about environmental issues and for improving policy frameworks is equally necessary.
