Legacy Landscapes Fund is incredibly pleased to announce its first open call for proposals. With this call, LLF makes strides towards protecting the world’s most important conservation areas by funding 7-12 new sites.

All documents and further information required to apply, including the grant program guide, glossary, and templates, can be found over on our Call for Proposals page.
