The Nagao Natural Environment Foundation

Founded in 1989, the Nagao Natural Environment Foundation (NEF) is a non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting nature conservation in developing countries. The Research Grant Scheme has supported researchers from research institutions mainly in the Asia-Pacific region. In addition to the original Research Grant and Scholarship Schemes, in 2007 NEF extended its support to include the intensive production of scientific work and filed activities under a new scheme called the 'Comprehensive Programme for Conservation Research and Activities.' NRF provided CeREC staff a number of grant for their study on biodiversity conservation.
