Rufford Small Grants 10th Anniversary

In 2009, the Rufford Small Grants will have been supporting grass-roots conservation projects for 10 years. Our awards scheme is only small in name - since we began we have supported over 1,000 projects worldwide.

We would like to mark this occasion with a review of our work. We would like to hear from past RSG recipients to know how a Rufford Small Grant made a difference to your long-term conservation work. In what way did it enable your research to progress? What significant conservation findings came about as a result of your RSG project(s) that have had an impact on the conservation world? We would particularly like to hear from our early RSG recipients and know what stage their work is now and how it developed following their final report to us.

Please send a short summary together with up to three photos as jpeg attachments to sian@rufford.org by the end of June 2008. We look forward to hearing from you.
