NC-CASC Consortium Partner Wildlife Conservation Society has released a call for proposals for the Climate Adaptation Fund , which supports the implementation of on-the-ground conservation actions designed to help wildlife and ecosystems adapt to a changing climate. In 2021, up to $2.5 million will be available in competitive grants. Awards will be made to non-profit conservation organizations applying for one of two grant categories:

* Adaptation Implementation projects that include evidence gathering and results sharing components to advance learning in the field. Grants will be up to $300,000 over 3 years.
* Adaptation Mainstreaming projects that pursue pathways to unlock the potential of an adaptation approach with known benefits to be adopted at a large scale. Grants will be up to $100,000 over 2 years.

Pre-proposals are due Wednesday, April 28, 2021 by 4:00pm PT / 7:00pm ET. The 2021 Request for Proposals and a detailed Applicant Guide are available at this link .
