CONSERVATION PARTNERSHIPS
Conservation Research and Projects
Each year, CuriOdyssey’s Conservation Department offers an open call to apply for a small grant through our Conservation Partnerships Grant Program. We are honored to support other nonprofit organizations and academic research initiatives that are addressing the intersectional challenges of biodiversity loss, climate change, resource degradation, environmental justice, and human-wildlife coexistence. Funds may be used to cover the purchase of equipment, laboratory fees, and other project-related expenses as well as operational costs that directly support organizational activities. These partners help extend the impact of our conservation efforts, and provide crucial contributions to their areas of study.

Foundation for Environmental Conservation and Community Enhancement (FOECOE) | TANZANIA
FOECOE works with Tanzanian communities (schools, households, government partners, and community groups) to improve the well being of people, animals, and environments through education and community-based projects. Learn more
RAPTORS ARE THE SOLUTION | California

RIVER OTTER ECOLOGY PROJECT | California
The presence of river otters (Lontra canadensis) indicates a healthy watershed habitat, but little is known about the habits and ecology of river otters in the Bay Area. The River Otter Ecology Project has been studying river otters since 2012 to discover more about our local otter populations and promote conservation of otters and their habitat. Learn more
URBAN WILDLIFE RESEARCH PROJECT | California
BAY LANDS GRAY FOX
Gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) are predators on the Bay Area Peninsula that may be impacted by urban development along the San Francisco Wildlife Corridor. The Urban Wildlife Research Project looks at the genetics of local fox populations to see how they're being affected and what can be done to help them. Learn more
