Title: WWFHK: Asian Waterbird Conservation Fund ¨È¬w¤ô³¾«O¨|°òª÷
Post by Carrie Ma on Jan 23^rd, 2006, 3:38pm

Message from WWF HK:

Asian Waterbird Conservation Fund
The 'Asian Waterbird Conservation Fund' has been established to provide financial support to projects at site of importance for migratory waterbirds in the East Asia - Australasian Flyway.
   
Cathay Pacific placed an initial donation of HK$500,000 (approx. US$65,000) into the Fund which is administered by WWF Hong Kong, and further donations are actively being sought to increase the amount in the Fund so that a greater number of worthwhile projects can be supported in future.

Each year, up to 25% of the amount in the Fund will be earmarked for disbursement to support approved projects. At present, the maximum amount that can be applied for each project shall not exceed US$4,000.

There will be a single call for applications to the Fund each year with the deadline currently being 31 March 2006. For further information, please check http://www.wwf.org.hk/eng/maipo/awcf/ or contact the AWCF Administrator by e-mail awcf@wwf.org.hk.
