Terra Viva Grants Directory. Terra Viva Grants (TVG) https://www.terravivagrants.org/ is the go-to grants database for agriculture, energy, environment, and natural resources for the world’s developing countries, and it is now part of ISTF. TVG saves you time by searching for grants for you. This is very helpful for low-income countries where internet connections are slow and expensive and libraries are often not available. The Basic Search, Funding News and Profiles of Grantmakers on the website are open access. Funding alerts via email and the searchable database are available with modest paid subscriptions. Subscribe at THIS LINK. If you have any questions, or problems placing a subscription, please send a message to tropicalforesters@gmail.com

List your business/NGO/government agency with ISTF! ISTF can help raise the visibility for your organization. If you would like to participate, please complete the form at THIS LINK. The directory is now on the ISTF website at https://tropicalforesters.org/about-us/istf-members-organizations/ .

Put your project or research on tropical forests out there in the ISTF blog! You may think you have nothing new to share, but you do! Consider these possible categories (and you can think of others): My ¡Eureka! moment in facing a project or research problem. An initiative that made a difference. Learning from my mistakes. Adventures of a young professional (forestry or other). Field trip adventures. Women protecting forests. Please complete the form at THIS LINK
