Conservation of wild places and ecosystems. The EOCA aims to significantly contribute to the conservation of wild places and ecosystems for future generations.
Funding is for field-based projects that protect a threatened species or habitat, and have a link to the outdoor user. Thematic areas are wildlife conservation; protection of forests and wetlands; litter clean-up on trails and mountains; and environmental education in local communities.
Grants are to nonprofit organizations for projects anywhere in the world except North America (which has a separate funding program).
Grants are up to €30 thousand for periods of one or two years.
