Shenzhen Zhilan Foundation

The Zhilan Foundation was established with the approval of the Shenzhen Civil Affairs Bureau. It is a pure grant-making foundation that promotes sustainable development through biodiversity conservation. The Zhilan Foundation promotes biodiversity conservation, as well as rural revitalization and ecological civilization construction, by providing small, flexible, and long-term funding support to frontline researchers and practitioners. The Foundation focuses on conserving endangered and critical species/ecosystems beyond well-funded charismatic species/ecosystems and aims to provide the necessary resources to empower true actors.
