The African Elephant Conservation Fund is soliciting project proposals to support the long-term conservation of African elephants across their range. Established by the 1988 African Elephant Conservation Act in response to declining populations, this fund provides financial assistance for sustainable conservation programs. Projects should enhance protection for at-risk populations, mitigate human-elephant conflict, manage habitat, strengthen local conservation capacity, and support transfrontier efforts. Other key areas include wildlife inspection, law enforcement, forensics, conservation education, applied research, and the development of elephant conservation management plans. Proposals must demonstrate clear relevance to African elephant conservation, primarily focusing on work within their natural range to ensure effective and comprehensive protection.
