Funding Abstract: 

People’s Trust for Endangered Species is dedicated to funding scientific research into the conservation of endangered species and their habitats. We support projects all over the world, through our worldwide grants, and last year funded a range of projects including vulture conservation in Bulgaria and sun bear research in Sumatra.

We also focus much of our attention on British mammal conservation through our UK mammals grants. We welcome applications from voluntary conservation organisations, scientific researchers, individuals and consortia for financial support for work that relates to the conservation of mammals in the British Isles and Eire. We also offer internship awards to assist the next generation of British mammal and invertebrate conservationists and researchers.
