The MBZ Fund would like to encourage applicants to consult the Conservation Evidence Project as they develop their applications as this initiative provides information about different conservation interventions that have been carried out across the globe. This could help applicants develop their own conservation interventions, although the information is more comprehensive for some taxa than others. The initiative is expanding its scope, and so the MBZ Fund would also like to encourage successful grant recipients to submit the results of the conservation interventions to Conservation Evidence. Further information is available through Parks et al. (2022) Funding Evidence-Based Conservation and supporting materials.

The MBZ Fund is partnering with the Prince Bernhard Nature Fund (PBNF) and other species conservation donor organisations to develop a database of successful conservation projects and conservationists which is called Conservation Connect. This is in order to help highlight the work and raise the profile of grant recipients amongst participating donor organisations and eventually amongst the broader donor community. Successful applicants to the MBZ Fund will be included in this database, which will necessitate making information and data relating to the general project and grant recipient contact information publicly visible. By ticking this box you consent to the above.
