Mars, Thanks!
We do not fund the following areas:
1. Bird watching - this is mostly for fun and also similar to mountian climbing and outsiding. This should not be paid by a grandma in the USA.
2. Bird watching camp -- this is group fun
3. re-granting to other groups -- if you group itself needs funding, you should try to make most of out of your own work. Besides it is not the money which attract other groups to follow you, but your passion, expertise and work model. But we support you get other resources for these kind of activities and we also believe this is a good work to do. It is just that we can not provide funding for the above areas.
As I said over the phone, we would like to use our funding to support your group\'s work and products which invovle and benefit the lowest and poorest in the communities around you or your region. To bring them closer to nature and environmental conservation. We do not want just see elite environmentalists being funded, while the majority of laymen are brushed outside general environmental movement.
As to the resources center at Xiamen, we are aiming at making it happen. So we are not accomulating funding for the possiblity.
The accurate name is China Students for Birdlife. Birdlife as one word, like that in Birdlife International and Birdlife Asia. You may google these groups. Also if you are aiming at having a new Chinese name, better use it now. Otherwise all your efforts in promoting the old name and brand would go wasted. Attached are two forms, please get them to me soon.
