| Description: | The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (FWS) mission is to work with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The International Affairs Program (IA) delivers this mission through its financial assistance programs by supporting strategic projects that deliver measurable conservation results for priority species and their habitats around the world. The Central Africa Program is administered by the Africa Branch of FWS/IA and focuses on developing the capacity of protected area and conservation managers, at multiple levels of implementation, to sustain healthy wildlife populations and benefit those communities with which they co-exist. One of the greatest threats to the wildlife populations in Central Africa is the unsustainable commercialization and trafficking of meat illegally harvested from wild populations of protected species for trade and consumption in cities. In support of the overall Central Africa Program goal and in combination with other strategies, the purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity is to address the threat of the unsustainable urban trade of protected species. |
