# National Geographic calls for grant proposals on the theme “Recovery of Species on the Brink of Extinction”

[National Geographic](https://www.nationalgeographic.org) in collaboration with the IUCN Species Survival Commission ([SSC](https://www.iucn.org/theme/species/about/species-survival-commission)) is providing grants for the recovery of species on the brink of extinction.

 Proposals that focus on the following three themes are encouraged:

 Specific and defensible priority actions to avert a species decline;

 Projects that include the active involvement of early career conservationists; and

 Projects that support conservation leaders from the countries where the species occur.

 A typical proposal request will be for less than US$ 30 000.  However, applicants may request up to US$ 50 000.  The application deadline is 10 July 2018, with decisions to be announced by November.
