Summary
The visit will enable the Lead Applicants to visit the Malagasy Partners to scope out a full Darwin Initiative proposal. This will be an opportunity to meet the partners face to face, to review their facilities and to examine potential field sites. During this time, the consortium will design and write a draft of the main project. This will include investigating in detail the area of study, meeting the local communities, and exploring the main outputs required. The main thread of the project will be developing local capacity to document and understand patterns of soil biodiversity and the ecosystem services they provide. Then applying this to the land management practices currently in place.
Darwin Initiative Round 32 is now open for applications! A new round of funding to support ambitious projects delivering impact for biodiversity and communities.
From scaling successful approaches to strengthening locally led conservation, explore key lessons shared by projects working on the front line of biodiversity action.
