AFSAR Call for Proposals
2015-2016 Aboriginal Fund for Species at Risk Call for Proposals The Aboriginal Fund for Species at Risk (AFSAR) program enables the Government of Canada to help build the capacity of Aboriginal communities/organizations to participate in the implementation of the Species at Risk Act (SARA), and to support Aboriginal involvement in activities that protect or conserve habitats for species at risk (SAR). Now into its 12th year, the AFSAR is being expanded under the National Conservation Plan to continue to enable Aboriginal communities to take voluntary on-the-ground stewardship actions to restore and conserve species at risk and their habitats, while also proactively preventing priority species, other than species at risk, from becoming a conservation concern. Going forward, funding under AFSAR will be separated into two streams: • The AFSAR Species at Risk (SAR) Stream will focus on species at risk recovery projects; and • The AFSAR Prevention Stream will focus, for the first time, on projects addressing other priority species beyond the protection and recovery of species at risk under the Species at Risk Act (SARA) to prevent them from becoming a conservation concern. The AFSAR program is one of several funding programs operated by Environment Canada for the recovery or species at risk or the conservation of wildlife. You can only receive funding from one federal funding program for each proposed activity. Any proposals submitted to the other federal funding program, (e.g., Habitat Stewardship Program, National Wetland Conservation Fund, EcoAction, etc.) must be for different activities than those listed in your AFSAR proposal. AFSAR Species at Risk Stream Expected Results and National Priorities Proposed projects must contribute to one or more of the expected results of the SAR Stream of the AFSAR program, which are as follows: 1. Strengthen capacity in Aboriginal communities for SARA implementation. 2. Mitigate threats to SAR, be they individuals or populations. 3. Protect, improve or manage critical and important habitat1 of SAR. 4. Help gather and conserve Aboriginal traditional knowledge (ATK) and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) on SAR and, where appropriate, help ensure their use in the development of recovery objectives. The national priorities for the AFSAR SAR stream are projects or activities that focus on the following: • Endangered and Threatened SARA-listed species; • Protection of critical habitat; • Implementation of priority activities described in recovery strategies or action plans; • Implementation of large-scale, multi-species recovery initiatives, involving a collaboration among multiple stakeholders/partners; The program defines “important habitat” as habitat that is considered as candidate for Critical Habitat or habitat that is important for the species but that is not actually identified in a recovery strategy/action plan/management plan. 1 • Implementation of signed Section 11 agreements which focus on contributing to legal or effective protection; • Agricultural lands and associated waters; • The consideration of Aboriginal Traditional Knowledge (ATK) in SARA processes; • Recovery actions for the Monarch (Danaus plexippus); and • Invasive species which are negatively impacting the recovery needs of species at risk. AFSAR Prevention Stream Expected Results and National Priorities Proposed projects must contribute to one or more of the expected results of the AFSAR Prevention Stream, which are to: 1. Strengthen capacity in Aboriginal communities for their participation in preventive action to conserve the target species. 2. Stop, remove, or mitigate potential threats, caused by human activities, to individual target species, and/or their habitat. 3. Protect, improve or manage important habitat2 of the target species. 4. Help gather and conserve Aboriginal traditional knowledge (ATK) and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) on the target species. The national priorities for the AFSAR Prevention Stream are projects or activities that focus on the following: • Species not assessed as “at risk” by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC); • Species of cultural significance to Aboriginal people (i.e. Food, Social and Ceremonial species of conservation interest); • Supporting the enhancement of wildlife that are of socio-economic importance to Aboriginal communities; and • Building capacity in Aboriginal communities and organizations to participate in wildlife conservation actions. Project Eligibility Please refer to the attached 2015-2016 AFSAR Application Guidelines for additional information on the following and other eligibility requirements. Separate guidelines are provided for each funding stream. 2 The program defines “important habitat” as habitat that is important for the species’ ”conservation”. Species Eligibility (differs by funding stream) AFSAR SAR Stream Proposed projects must, at a minimum, target species that have been assessed by COSEWIC as Endangered, Threatened or of Special Concern, with priority being given to proposals that target species listed under the SARA. Species that are awaiting addition to Schedule 1 of SARA through the Governor in Council (GIC) process are, of course, eligible. However, any species that the GIC has considered but declined to list on Schedule 1 are not eligible for funding under the SAR stream of the AFSAR; although these species may become eligible during reassessment by COSEWIC. Annex 1 lists these ineligible species. AFSAR Prevention Stream: Projects must target species that are not listed under Schedule 1 of the SARA. Eligible Lands (both streams) a. Reserves and Lands set apart for the use and benefit of Aboriginal peoples under the Indian Act or under section 91(24) of the Constitution Act, 1867 b. Other lands directly controlled by Aboriginal peoples (e.g., Métis Settlement lands, and land claim / treaty settlement lands), and lands set aside in the Yukon and Northwest Territories pursuant to Cabinet Directive, circular No.27 c. Lands and waters where traditional activities (hunting or other) are carried out d. Federal waters Eligible Activities (both streams) • Habitat and Species Protection • Habitat Improvement • Program Planning and Development • Monitoring and Data Collection • Project and Program Evaluation • Aboriginal Traditional Knowledge: Gathering and Use • Outreach Outreach-based activities in the AFSAR SAR stream will need to clearly demonstrate that they are focused and targeted on achieving the goals of recovery for target species at risk, by being linked to the expected program results. Any proposed outreach or awareness-building activity will need to be framed as a necessary component of a larger project plan that is directed at achieving one or more of the expected program results. Project proposals will need to describe in detail how each activity will lead to action in implementing an expected program result, and must indicate how the activity will lead to on-the-ground species recovery, either within the project’s time frame or some time afterward. Please review the program application guidelines and template to understand how to demonstrate this aspect of your outreach activities. Outreach-based activities in the AFSAR Prevention Stream will need to clearly demonstrate how they directly engage Canadians to participate in activities that support the direct conservation of the target species. Projects funded under AFSAR SAR stream must support the implementation of priority activities identified in recovery strategies or action plans, where these are in place or under development. For your reference, we have included a list of Endangered and Threatened species at risk for which recovery documents are available on the SARA Public Registry website (Annex 2). To help advance SARA implementation efforts, successful proponents are encouraged to provide species occurrence data collected using AFSAR funds, to either Environment Canada, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, and/or their respective provincial/territorial wildlife data repository center. SARA Section 11 Conservation Agreements (SAR Stream) Proposals for the implementation of activities under any signed Section 11 agreement are eligible for funding consideration under the AFSAR SAR Steam, with preference given to specific conservation measures that effectively or legally protect the individuals, residences, and/or critical habitat of specific species at risk in a specific area. The AFSAR SAR Stream on-line application has been modified to accept proposals for these activities, and the same eligibility rules will apply, including matching funding. It should be noted that the following Section 11 agreement activities will not be eligible for funding under AFSAR: • Development of recovery strategies, action plans and management plans; • Research projects on the species; and • Establishment of the agreement (e.g., drafting and negotiating activities). Matching Funding (both streams) Applicants must obtain matching non-federal funds (cash and/or in-kind) equal to, or greater than, 20% of the total AFSAR funding request (calculated over the life of the project). Projects with matching contributions in excess of 20% are preferred. Regional Priorities 2015-2016 Regional priorities are available in the cover letters distributed with this Call for Proposals. Please contact your AFSAR regional coordinator for further information. Consolidating Projects and Multi-year Proposals If a proponent organization wishes to do several projects under AFSAR, it is encouraged to consolidate multiple small proposals into a single, large application that outlines the different priority activities. These amalgamated projects are often carried out in multiple years because they consider the longer- term conservation outcome. In fact, multi-year project proposals are encouraged because they help to improve conservation progress over the longer term and increase assurance of funding approval from one year to the next. Current recipients of AFSAR multi-year funding can apply to receive additional AFSAR funding to undertake new and additional activities as part of their current project, by way of an amendment to their existing contribution agreement. How to Apply to Both Streams Expressions of Interest An Expression of Interest (EOI) form allows for feedback on your project idea, and allows you to develop an application that meets your objectives and the national and regional priorities of the AFSAR program (template attached in Annex 2). Please refer to the 2015-2016 AFSAR Application Guidelines or contact your HSP regional coordinator for additional information on submitting an EOI. The EOI deadline is Friday, October 10th, 2014, with the full proposal submission deadline being Monday, November 3rd, 2014. Note: while the EOI process does not guarantee the acceptance of the proposal, it will increase the quality and suitability of the submission. Application Forms Applications to the AFSAR for both streams should be made online using the program’s tracking system (address below). Application Guidelines for each funding stream, provided with this call for proposals, cover basic project and proponent eligibility and a summary of project selection criteria. This document also includes an application form template, for informational purposes. The AFSAR online application and tracking system can be found at: http://www.recovery.gc.ca/AFSAR-FAEP Interested applicants are required to contact their regional coordinator for access to the online tracking system (or to activate existing accounts). AFSAR is co-managed by Environment Canada (EC) and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) in cooperation with Parks Canada Agency (PCA), and with the support of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC). Thank you for your interest in species at risk and preventing species from becoming a conservation concern. We wish you the best in your application.
