Current Projects
The process for Project Funding allows each member of the EOG Association for Conservation to submit up to three projects.
The EOG Association for Conservation is growing and with it so is the amount that the Association is able to grant to conservation projects, in 2009 a funding milestone was reached when over EUR€500,000 had been awarded to projects. The Association has now funded 26 projects since it first started in 2006.
Global Nature Fund – Mangrove Swamp Restoration (Sri Lanka)
The Nagenahiru Foundation in Sri Lanka is specifically concerned with the conservation and protection of wetland resources through programmes of educational, awareness and action. Mangrove forests are unique habitats, adapted to the living conditions of brackish estuaries and coastal areas. Their habitat is shared by vast numbers of salt and freshwater creatures, with extensive root systems protecting against tidal waves and erosion. This particular area consists of 10 major wetland vegetation types and 303 species of plants. more…
The Breathe Foundation – Rainforest Restoration (Brazil)

Bumblebee Conservation Trust - Pembrokeshire Bumblebee Path Project (UK)
The UK’s bumblebees have suffered huge declines due to widespread habitat loss. Bumblebees are major pollinators of a majority of wildflowers and many agricultural crops. If they continue to disappear, plants will set less seed, causing sweeping changes with catastrophic knock-on effects for other wildlife. The Bumblebee Conservation Trust was set up in 2006 with the purpose of halting and, if possible, reversing declines in bumblebee populations in the UK. more…
