I'm trying to figure out how I can get the World Bank to fund me, and a few of my friends, to save the elephants, bolster tourism and alleviate poverty in Moz. I need someone with experience is writing for grants.

Is killing an endangered animal for sport the best way to save the species from extinction? The World Bank—one of the largest sources of financing for biodiversity conservation projects in developing countries—thinks it is.

The World Bank approved a U.S. $46 million grant to Mozambique, one of the world’s poorest countries, late last year to bolster tourism and alleviate poverty. Now, $700,000 of that has been earmarked to bolster trophy hunting of elephants and lions.

Very interesting, I don't know any hunting company that is receiving funds or involved in the 700 000$. Would like to know which company is getting funds.

Oh Simon, the administrative fee in Maputo is $699,900. Thought they would have told you that.

Wheels, do you really think that they would let 100$ slip through their fingers....
