Description
Canada Nature Fund: Community-Nominated Priority Places (CNPP) for Species at Risk is a
4-year (2019 to 2020 through 2022 to 2023) $15.6 million funding initiative administered
by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).
CNPP is seeking joint proposals (lead applicant plus one or more partners) that:
– Identify defined priority places where there are opportunities to protect and
recover multiple terrestrial species at risk listed under the Species at Risk Act and
their habitat; and
– Implement coordinated, multi-partner conservation actions in these identified
priority places.
Projects should result in a high return on investment and benefits to multiple species.
Examples of eligible places where an applicant could apply for funding under CNPP include
the following:
– Coastal Beaches, Dunes and Marshes
– Limestone Barrens
– Boreal Forest (Labrador)
– Coastal Barrens and Arctic Tundra (Labrador)
The deadline for the Formal Proposal submissions is April 26, 2019.
