MEC's response

Yesterday I received a response from MEC to my email and it looks like we're on our own...

"Hi Brad,
We do support conservation projects and we are definitely interested in conservation initiatives within the Y2Y corridor. We fund these kind of project through different programs, such as our Research, Capacity Building and Advocacy and Education Grants. We evaluate these project proposals based on specific criteria for each grant category. Your project sounds fantastic, but unfortunately we don't have unlimited resources and we can't support all of the great projects that come our way. I wish you all the best with this expedition and with the film."
