The Ocean Park Conservation Foundation solicits projects on threatened animal species in Asia. This refers to giant pandas, Chinese white dolphins, and other threatened Asian species and habitats. Thematic areas for 2016-2017 are: (i) Effects of climate change on Asian wildlife and habitats; (ii) Effects of marine debris on Asian wildlife and habitats; and (iii) Saving Asian biodiversity. The Foundation supports conservation research and management, as well as community education and capacity building. Priority will be given to projects from eastern, southern, and Southeast Asia. Coastal countries connected to Asia, where funding is limited and with threatened wide-ranging Asian species, such as the Far East Russian western gray whales, are included. The majority of projects are for one year, but the Foundation will separately consider multi-year projects of around HK$1 million per year if they show promise of clear conservation outcomes. The application deadline is 31 January 2016.
