Research/conservation grants and experience/exchange grants were awarded to applicants by IBA in April for the coming year (see accompanying articles). Funds from the Bevins Foundation gift allocated to conference travel will be held over until 2010, to help deserving students and others attend the next IBA conference in Tbilisi, Georgia. The Bear Specialist Group (BSG) Action Fund, new last year, will provide a small pot of money to support specific conservation actions initiated by the BSG. click here>>> to read the BCF 2009 End-of-Year Update!
