In the summer of 2000, Chuck

Rambo, Conservation Chair of the American Cichlid Association (ACA), announced the establishment of

the Paul V. Loiselle Conservation Fund for the conservation of rare and endangered cichlid species.



Paul V. Loiselle is a founding member of the ACA and has held numerous positions in the

organization. He is an ichthyologist and currently Curator of Fishes at the prestigious New York

Aquarium. Because of Paul's long standing efforts in addressing the conservation of cichlids

and other fishes, the ACA was proud to name this fund for someone who has done and continues to do

so much, in the name of cichlid conservation.

When the principle of this fund generates

an annual interest of at least $1000, it will announce the availability of its funds for

grants.

Proposals dealing with the conservation of cichlid species and/or their habitat

should be submitted to the ACA Conservation Chair. The Chair will then distribute them to a panel

of scientists and conservationists for their recommendations. These recommendations will then be

sent to the ACA Board of Trustees for final consideration for funding.
