Conservation efforts must be a priority for us as a global society. There are, of course, untold numbers of people and organizations that contribute much of their time and resources (financial and in-kind support) to ensure that conservation and clean-up efforts remain steadfast. See below for biographies (bios) of some of the most well-known &#8220;Conservation Heroes&#8221; whose past contributions have been invaluable. One thing is clear: conservation efforts must continue and expand to address present environmental needs that demand attention now. Grant funding is an excellent resource for nonprofits, for-profit businesses, and other organizations dedicated to advancing conservation and clean-up efforts. Grants help fuel these initiatives, enabling more projects, research, and solutions to preserve and protect our planet for future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/\">GrantWatc<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">h<\/a> <\/strong>wants to ensure successful conservation efforts by providing a hand-picked list of 10 conservation grants.

Since then, the conservation movement has continued to grow and expand its mission to include restoring endangered species, removing toxins from the environment, and ensuring our nation&#8217;s natural resources are passed on to future generations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>John Audubon (1785-1851) took a keen interest in nature from an early age, particularly with birds. In 1820, he committed (himself)] to create life-size watercolor paintings all of the birds of North America. His goal achieved in 1838, all exquisitely detailed (435) bird painting are permanently displayed at the NY Historical Society. His significant influence brought about the conservation movement near the end of the 19th century.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jacques Cousteau (1910-1997) was a lifelong explorer. From a young age, his attraction to the marine environment &#8211; and later identifying the need for better exploration equipment, propelled him to collaborate on many innovations, including the &#8216;AquaLung&#8217; and an underwater research vehicle (<em>diving saucer<\/em>). His adventures, documented in over 50 books and 120 films, along with the series, &#8220;the Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau,&#8221; raised global awareness about the diversity of sea life. His passion &#8211; and legacy &#8211; expressed through [his] tenacious efforts to stop ocean dumping of nuclear waste and end commercial whaling, lives on through his descendants, who continue his work to protect and improve the quality of marine life for present and future generations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conservation Grants, Cooperative Agreements, and In-Kind Support<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Grants to government agencies, Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs), Tribes, and nonprofit and for-profit organizations to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/173908\/grants-to-usa-agencies-ihes-tribes-nonprofits-and-for-profits-for-projects-to-protect-and-restore-wetland-habitats-for-birds.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">protect\/restore\/preserve wetland bird-habitats<\/a>.<\/strong> Funding supports projects to protect, enhance, and restore wetlands and associated upland habitats to benefit wetlands migratory birds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grants <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/174212\/grants-and-in-kind-donations-to-usa-nonprofits-groups-and-businesses-to-protect-water-habitats.html\"><strong>up to $5,000<\/strong><\/a> and in-kind donations to nonprofits, groups, and businesses to conserve, protect, and restore important wildlife habitats in ponds, rivers, swamps, wetlands, and streams.
