The grant seeks to increase global grassroots civil society engagement in combating nature crimes by forming consortia with grassroots organizations across different countries. The goal is to deploy community-led approaches that expose nature crimes, hold perpetrators accountable, reduce profits from these crimes, and support the environment and local livelihoods. Private Institutions of Higher Education are eligible to apply for this grant. The grant has an award ceiling of $4,000,000 and an award floor of $1,000,000. The expected number of awards is 2.
