The Herpetofauna Grant Program supports projects dedicated to reptiles and amphibians. Through grants and donations, we encourage research, education, and habitat restoration to help ensure a brighter future for these remarkable animals.
On this page, you’ll find an overview of all grants awarded through the Herpetofauna Grant Program, including the original applications. This allows you to see which initiatives have received support and what the goals and plans of each grant were.
Of Nepal's 17 turtle species, 13 (76%) are globally threatened (IUCN, 2024). Tapil Prakash Rai aims to promote turtle conservation in Jhapa District partly through free educational resources and programs in (high) schools.
The gharial (Gavialis gangeticus), a Critically Endangered crocodilian, is found only in Nepal and India, with about 238 individuals in Nepal. Bishal Prasad Neupane aims to raise conservation awareness for gharials in the buffer zone of Chitwan National Park (Nepal), a key habitat for this species.
Mhd Muhajir Hasibuan studies the critically endangered Bleeding toad ( Leptophryne cruentata). This study focusses on bioacoustics of these animals in relation to their changing surroundings. With this data it will be possible to create better conservation strategies of these remarkable and beautiful species.
Ardgard Essau Mwamgeni studies the dietary composition of two Critically Endangered Frogs (Callulina hanseni and Callulina meteora). This study will reveal the feeding ecology of these animals and therefore aid in better protection strategies on habitat for these amazing animals and similar species in related habitat.
