Save Our Species (SOS)

closed

The objective of the Save Our Species (SOS) Project for Global is to support the establishment of a viable funding mechanism for the conservation of globally threatened species and their habitats supported by private sector contributions and administered by a competent organization with global reach. There are four components to the project, the first component being threatened species grants program. This component will support a competitive grants program for threatened species conservation with two subcomponents according to three strategic directions: (1) threatened species or taxonomic groups; (2) vulnerable ecosystems; and (3) corporate priorities (species or taxonomic groups or species conservation actions of particular interest to corporate and private sector donors). The second component is the species action strategies and monitoring. The third component is the funding and communications. The project will specifically target private sector donors and support a strong communications and marketing campaign to raise additional support and funding from private companies, foundations, governments, and the general public. Finally, the fourth component is the project management, monitoring, and evaluation.
