Atelopus Conservation Trust
MISSION:
Due to the spread of the chytrid fungus, Panamanian golden frogs(Atelopus zeteki) are facing extinction in the wild.
Project Golden Frog/Atelopus Conservation Trust (PGF/ACT) wants to continue to support the research and conservation of these and other harlequin frogs via funding.
GOALS:
The PGF/ACT Grant, newly established in 2007, supports conservation programs that seek to increase our basis of knowledge or continue to protect the endangered Panamanian golden frog and other Atelopus species throughout their range and in captivity.
WHO CAN APPLY:
Field studies and other projects that demonstrate a multidisciplinary approach to Atelopus zeteki receive highest funding priority, although projects involving ex situ conservation of other Atelopus species will be considered.
Research and projects that involve range-country collaborators are encouraged. Environmental education programs, development of techniques that can be used in a natural environment and captive propagation programs that stress an integrative approach to conservation are also appropriate.
Projects must directly affect biological conservation.
