A Sebastopol-based non-profit has gotten a big boost from the MacArthur Foundation.
The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation has awarded the Conservation Strategy Fund $400,000 over the next three years in support of their efforts to build natural resource economics skills to sustain biodiversity conservation in the Southern Tropical Andes, an area that spans southeastern Peru and northern Bolivia.
John Reid is the founder and president of the 10 year old Conservation Strategy Fun. The North Bay Report previously focused on CFS in December of last year.
