- Although they commend the work of wildlife sanctuaries, wildlife rehabilitation facilities, botanical gardens, zoos, learning centers, and habitat restoration, these are beyond the scope of their mission and for that reason they do not fund this type of work.
- They will only fund media projects that have a clear, significant strategic value to biodiversity and a concrete plan for dissemination of the final product. They strongly recommend reading about their grantees’ work to find parallels, if any, with your work.
