Description: The Fund for Wild Nature provides money for campaigns to save and restore native species and wild ecosystems, including actions to defend wilderness and biological diversity. The fund supports advocacy, litigation, public policy work, development of citizen science, and similar endeavors. The fund does not support basic scientific research, private land acquisition, individual action or study, or conferences, and rarely supports proposals from organizations with annual budgets greater than $250,000. The fund will only support media projects that have a clear strategic value and a concrete plan for dissemination of the final product. The fund gives special attention to ecological issues not currently receiving sufficient public attention and funding. The fund seeks proposals with visionary and yet realistic goals to create tangible change. All proposals must be highly cost effective and be for projects in the United States, Canada, or Mexico.

Wal-Mart's "Acres for America"
a partnership with National Fish and Wildlife Foundation: This is a new partnership between the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) and Wal-Mart Corporation to conserve wildlife habitat and offset the footprint of Wal-Mart's domestic facilities through land acquisitions. The new program is entitled "Acres for America" and will permanently conserve at least one acre of priority wildlife habitat for every acre of Wal-Mart's current footprint, estimated at 88,000 acres, as well as the company's future development over the next 10 years, estimated at 5,000 acres per year, putting the minimum total acres to be protected at 138,000. The NFWF is currently accepting applications for projects to acquire lands that meet identified criteria and will have a minimum 1:1 match of cash or contributed goods and services. Federal funds may be considered as match and higher ratios of matching funds will at times aid in making applications more competitive. The NFWF website at Error!
