A Swiss non-profit that funds projects which benefit biodiversity in a wild landscape. Projects must conserve, protect, enhance, restore, and/or reconnect habitats within a given landscape that are particularly important for the biodiversity there. EOCA will consider projects which provide social/development benefits, but the primary goal of the project must be to address a conservation issue or concern, with a link to reconnecting people with nature. The funded projects will be chosen from a shortlist via a public vote and/or an EOCA’s members vote. Note that ‘the public vote involves some effort on the part of the projects involved, to mobilise supporters and generate votes for their project over a two-week period’.
Up to €30,000 over a maximum of two years. Any applications over this amount will not be considered. The total project budget may be higher if there are other sources of funding.
