正文(英文) | The Darwin Initiative will fund 52 projects around the globe sharing £10.6 million and delivering commitments in the 25 Year Environment Plan. ![]() On International Day for Biological Diversity (22 May) the UK Government has announced the latest round of successful funding bids from the Darwin Initiative to deliver on flagship commitments set out in the 25 Year Environment Plan. Environment Secretary, Michael Gove, awarded a total package of £10.6 million to 52 projects over the next three years from across the globe that will support and enhance biodiversity. Since 1992, the Darwin Initiative has funded 1,055 projects from 159 countries, with a value of £140m. Environment Secretary, Michael Gove said:
Darwin InitiativeThe Darwin Initiative is a grants scheme that helps to protect biodiversity and the natural environment around the globe. Many of the applications reflect the UK Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan commitments to protect the marine environment, to secure the benefits of biodiversity for the poorest communities, and to help prevent the extinction of species. The fund is administered by the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and uses the UK Government’s Official Development Assistance. Projects receiving funding include: ‘Biodiversity and Agriculture: addressing scale insect threats in Kenya’ and led by the Natural History Museum. Sir Michael Dixon, Director of the Natural History Museum, said:
Snow Leopard Conservancy has been given support for sustaining snow leopard conservation through strengthened local institutions and enterprises. Director of the Snow Leopard Conservancy, Dr Rodney Jackson said:
Another project is ‘Andean bears and people: coexistence through poverty reduction’ and is being led by Chester Zoo. Dr Alexandra Zimmermann, Head of Conservation Science at Chester Zoo, said:
A full list of projects, including a number of small schemes, to be supported by the Darwin Initiative is available on gov.uk Latest supportThe Darwin Initiative and the Illegal Wildlife Trade Challenge Fund have both re-opened for the next round of applications for funding. Projects are being encouraged that support the commitments in the UK Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan. For the first time the IWT Challenge Fund will provide funding for projects schemes aimed at the illegal trade in certain species of flora around the globe. Professor Kathy Willis, Director of Science, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew said:
In October 2018, the UK will host a fourth international conference on the illegal wildlife trade, bringing global leaders to London to tackle the strategic challenges of the trade. This follows the ground breaking London 2014 conference on the illegal wildlife trade, and subsequent conferences in Botswana and Vietnam.
