Unique funding opportunity: Conservation of Critically Endangered Endemic Species Project

WNPS and HEMAS HOLDINGS have partnered together to launch a new conservation project aimed at preserving critically endangered Sri Lankan Endemic Species. The scope of the project is to implement conservation activities for fifty-two (52) species over a period of five (05) years and the species will be selected based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red list. WNPS intends to cover a minimum of 10 species per annum, starting from 01st of January 2023.

WNPS is requesting proposals from conservation organizations and individuals to help conserve critically endangered endemic species. The Society is looking for innovative and sustainable solutions to protect these species and their habitats. The proposals should broadly focus on increasing the population of that particular species or removing any direct threat to the species. The Society will review all proposals and select the most promising ones to receive funding and support. This is a vital opportunity for conservationists to make a real impact on the survival of these endangered species.
