Environment

ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

Through our environment fund we want to support projects which can help mitigate the damaging effects that humans are having on the environment and contribute to a positive change both now and in the future. The fund has two main themes:

• Marine – support for projects working to halt declining fish stocks
• Tropical Forests – support for projects protecting tropical rain forest, principally through avoided deforestation

Some examples of organisations which TWF has provided grant support to can be found here. Some useful publications and web links relating to the environment can be found here. 

WHAT WE WILL NOT FUND

We are not able to offer funding for:

• Tree planting projects
• Projects focused solely on the use of fuel-efficient stoves – we have selected one partner to undertake forest-related efficient stove interventions
• Projects with animal conservation as the sole focus
• Projects focusing on environmental education

In addition, we are currently not accepting proposals for:

• REDD projects, pending a review of projects already funded
