Recommendations for organizations that fund story telling conservation projects.
Hi wildhub family,
Please could you recommend organizations or donor institutions that fund story telling conservation projects?
I am josephine from Kenya and currently working with Angaza Vijiji Ecoventures www.angazavijiji.co.ke as the projects coordinator and gender liason officer.
Angaza vijiji is an umbrella encompassing many segments and bat conservation is one of the segments. Currently we are in partnership with Bat Conservation International trying to conserve the Hildegarde's Tomb Bat along the Kenyan Coastal areas.
Previously, being an alumni of the prestigious Conservation Leadership Programme i have worked on the conservation of the Hildegardes Tomb Bat in Kilifi County, Kenya.
I am also a proud alumni of the Rufford Small Grants Foundation and the project was geared towardsthe conservation of the straw colored fruitbats in Western Kenya.
I am writing this because I am thinking of using a different approach to conserve the bats. I want to do storytelling conservation of bats ie interviewing people to get both the indigenous and modern stories about bats, their attitudes and perceptions about bats and myths surrounding bats. My main aim is to do videography and photography of the interviews share with locals, media stations etc to enhance public awareness about conservation.
The above can't be achieved without funding proper or enough funding. I kindly request for recommendations about organizations or donor institutions that fund storytelling conservation projects. May it be organizations that fund individuals or NGOs just any. Please share names or links to the funding institutions.
Kindly looking forward to your recommendations.
Regards.
Josephine

Thanks alot Thirza.
Effective conservation should be led locally
Local communities know more about the species more than conservationists and researchers. Local communities are enriched with indigenous knowledge and traditional methods of species conservation.
Conservation is an ever-changing field, and citizen science is essential. Trainings that improve the capacity of local communities promote effective species conservation.
I wish I had known about the power of capacity building earlier. All environmentalists and conservationists should put training first.
Because conservation is dynamic, individuals are shifting from traditional conservation methods to technology-based conservation methods. As someone working on endangered species conservation, conservation technologists should assist us in developing an application or methodology for monitoring bat population dynamics.
Love these videos! Thanks for sharing Josephine!
Thanks Thirza
