Biodiversity and Nature tenders
315 listings tracked right now · page 1 of 7
Grants for nature restoration, habitat protection and biodiversity-positive business. Typical funders are the Global Environment Facility, EU LIFE and Horizon, national environment ministries, and conservation philanthropy. Listed below are the open biodiversity and nature tenders and contract notices that landscape produces, taken from each buyer's own notice and re-checked on every refresh.
Contracts here are largely technical assistance, monitoring and restoration delivery, tendered by environment agencies, development banks and national parks authorities. Many are let against a donor-funded programme rather than a domestic budget, which means the procurement rules follow the donor, and the eligibility can extend well beyond the country the work happens in.
This page lists open biodiversity and nature tenders and public contracts currently tracked by Raise Lens — 315 of them right now, sorted with the soonest deadline first. Every listing has been classified against the sustainability taxonomy rather than matched on keywords, so what appears here is biodiversity and nature work rather than anything whose description happens to mention it.
37 distinct buyers are publishing the biodiversity and nature tenders and public contracts on this page. Who is funding matters as much as what: eligibility, reporting burden and the realistic timeline to a decision vary far more between buyers than between individual calls, which is why the listing names the buyer on every opportunity it opens.
Geographic coverage on this page spans SUBSAHARAN-AFRICA, OCEANIA, LATAM. Eligibility is usually tied to where the work happens or where the applying organisation is registered, and the two are not always the same — worth checking before investing time in an application.
48 of these close within the next 30 days. Deadlines are taken from the source listing and re-checked on every refresh, but the originating buyer remains the authority — always confirm against the official notice before you submit.
