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.
Three projects have been funded in the first round of application
in June 2006 and one in the second round in October 2006. You may
visit <http://www.wwf.org.hk/eng/maipo/awcf/projects.html> for
details.
There will be a single call for applications to the Fund each
year with the deadline currently being 31 October 2007. For further
information, please check http://www.wwf.org.hk/eng/maipo/awcf/ or
