British Chelonia Group Makes 2007 the Year of the Sea Turtle


The British Chelonia Group (BCG) is a registered charity dedicated to the care and conservation of chelonia worldwide ( <http://www.britishcheloniagroup.org.uk>). Each year the BCG launches an appeal designed to raise funds to help finance projects aimed at the conservation of endangered species. The year 2007 has been nominated as the Year of the Sea Turtle when the BCG will be concentrating on assisting organisations or individuals who are actively engaged on worthwhile schemes to safeguard sea turtles or are planning to do so in 2007.

The intention is to allocate monies to projects that fall under the headings of Research, Protection or Education or a combination of these. Grants will be small and will not exceed £1000 sterling. It is therefore expected that any BCG grant will probably supplement funds already raised or promised.

Proposals for consideration are invited and must contain the following:
a. Full details of the project which show clearly its contribution to Marine Turtle conservation;

b. A detailed budget which covers the costs and shows where applicable other contributions either current or expected;

c. The applicant where applicable must provide a CV which shows any previous experience with Marine Turtle research etc together with the names of two suitable referees.

The BCG will expect acknowledgement of any contribution in any written reports published and may itself require an original report on the results of the project for publication in its annual journal TESTUDO.

Two copies of the application should reach the undersigned by 1st March 2007 at the latest:
