LORO PARQUE FUNDACION SUPPORT FOR PARROT IN-SITU CONSERVATION AND RESEARCH PROJECTS

The total funds committed by the Loro Parque Fundación to projects beginning or continuing in 2012 have been US$1,266,014.

NOTICE FOR APPLICATIONS FOR PROJECTS TO BEGIN IN 2013

The Loro Parque Fundación supports projects which have parrot species as their focus of attention. Its main interest is to utilise these projects to improve the conservation prospects of threatened parrots and to promote biodiversity conservation.

The Loro Parque Fundación supports projects in two categories:

A “Principal Projects”: these tend to be long-term and have a significant proactive input by the Loro Parque Fundación; budgets are usually above US$ 20,000 per annum.

B ”Small-scale grants”: created to address short-term parrot conservation research priorities, with a relatively small input by the Loro Parque Fundación.  Individual project budgets in this category average US$ 5,000 per annum.

Applications for projects to begin in 2013 will reviewed at the 2012 Annual Meeting of the Board of Trustees and Advisors of the Loro Parque Fundación.

To be included in the review, applications must be received by the Loro Parque Fundación by Friday 26th October 2012.
