  • Conservation Science Support in Africa

    ASPIRE SUPPORTING CONSERVATION SCIENCE IN AFRICA: CARN SUPPORTS SCIENCE IN CENTRAL AFRICA BY PROVIDING SMALL GRANTS TO AFRICAN SCIENTISTS AND SUPPORTING LOGISTICS FOR SCIENTISTS WORKING COUNTRY. WE PROVIDE GRANTS TO YOUNG AFRICAN RESEARCHERS. GRANT MAKERS EXPLANATION FOR MONITORING USE OF FUNDS OUTSIDE US CARN REQUIRES GRANTEES TO PROVIDE MID-TERM AND FINAL FINANCIAL AND PROGRAMMATIC REPORTING ON THEIR USE OF ASPIRE FUNDS USING TEMPLATES WE PROVIDE. WE ALSO REQUEST THAT GRANTEES SEND ANY SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATION THAT RESULT FROM THEIR ASPIRE FUNDING, EVEN AFTER THE GRANT AND REPORTING PERIOD IS FINISHED. FINALLY, WE OCCASIONALLY CONDUCT SURVEYS OF PAST GRANTEES TO ASSESS THE IMPACT OUR GRANTS HAVE ON THEIR CAREERS AND PRODUCTIVITY.WELLS AND WATERTHIS PROGRAM AIMS TO FACILITATE ACCESS TO WATER BY VILLAGES PARTICIPATING IN A NATIVE TREE PLANTING PROJECT BY BUILDING WELLS LOCATED STRATEGICALLY NEAR COMMUNITIES. THE WELLS ARE BUILT BY A LOCAL VETTED CONTRACTOR AND MEMBERS OF THE TEAM VISITED THE SITE AND VERIFIED AND REPORTED WITH PICTURES AND VIDEOS ON THE WORK PERFORMED. CONSERVATION GENETICSCONSERVATION GENETICS: CARN SUPPORTED NUMEROUS PROJECTS TO USE ADVANCED GENETICSTECHNIQUES TO UNDERSTAND AND PRESERVE SPECIES. WE SUPPORTED WORK ON PANGOLINS, THEWORLDS MOST TRAFFICKED MAMMAL THAT ELUCIDATED ROUTES OF PANGOLIN TRAFFICKING FROMAFRICA TO ASIA USING THE DNA ISOLATED FROM PANGOLIN SCALES CONFISCATED IN HONG KONG.WE ALSO SUPPORT WORK TO USE ENVIRONMENTAL DNA TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT ANIMALS HAVE BEEN PRESENT IN RWANDA OVER TIME. THAT WORK TRAINED DOZENS OF STUDENTS ANDCONSERVATIONISTS FROM THROUGHOUT AFRICA ON THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF EDNA.
