About this scheme
The THT Conservation Grant for Critical Habitats 2026 is a flagship funding initiative by The Habitats Trust aimed at strengthening biodiversity conservation in India. The grant is designed to support organisations working on lesser-known species, data-deficient taxa, and overlooked or threatened habitats.
The grant is awarded over a three-year period, enabling organisations to design and implement long-term, science-backed, and holistic conservation programmes rather than short-term interventions. Supported projects are expected to integrate ecological research, habitat protection, and community engagement to ensure sustainable and scalable conservation impact.
For the 2026 cycle, two shortlisted organisations will receive funding under this programme. The grant prioritises projects aligned with national biodiversity priorities and those that demonstrate measurable outcomes, strong methodologies, and the potential for large-scale, long-term conservation impact across India.
