If you would like to speak with someone about submitting a project, please contact SavingSpecies.

To help you write a successful proposal, your first step is to read proposals for the Save the Golden Lion Tamarin and the Save the Greater Bamboo lemur projects. Although these projects involve mammals, we will consider proposals to save any species. Our primary criteria are that the species or area concerned is threatened and buying land will reduce the threat.

SavingSpecies welcomes proposals regarding projects. We have an informal review process, but we do request that you provide enough information for us to make a sound conservation decision.

An ideal project will meet some or all of the following criteria:

• Preserves or restores an area of high biodiversity and/or habitat for critically endangered species
• Provides administration by local or host-country NGO
• Includes proactive measures to reclaim degraded land or preserve existing habitat
• Involves local people to ensure accrual of benefits to them

Please review the requirements below to be sure your project proposal provides the necessary information to be considered. When you have gathered the information, please contact SavingSpecies for additional details on submitting your proposal.

Project proposal requirements:

• Species name and conservation status (e.g., CITES)
• Location of proposed land purchase (geographical coordinates required)
• Area of land to be purchased
• Approximate cost of land to be purchased
• Proposed activity (e.g., reclamation of degraded land, engage local community to preserve existing habitat)
• Name and address of local NGO to act as in-country liaison
• Names and addresses project managers
