FIELD ACTION RESEARCH GRANTS


(Project NP0023)

his project supports small scale research projects relevant to WWF's conservation priorities for Nepal. Grants of up to US$5,000 are given. The project is successful in responding to urgent conservation needs such as anti-poaching, responsible nature tourism, and field research projects conducted by independent researchers, NGOs, local scientists, conservationists, and university students.

Beginning with a field research grants programme with the Natural History Museum of Nepal in 1990, a total of 36 research projects have been funded during the period 1992-95. The programme is administered by WWF Nepal, and the proposals are reviewed by a panel of experts. The work undertaken collectively strengthens the national database and the Nepali researchers who contribute to it.
