The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering the Traditional Conservation Grant Program to support states in developing and implementing robust programs for conserving and recovering threatened and endangered species under the Service’s jurisdiction. This grant provides crucial financial assistance for projects that directly benefit federally listed, candidate, at-risk, and recently delisted species. States are encouraged to apply for funding to conduct essential conservation work on their federally-listed resident species, and to monitor candidate, at-risk, and recently delisted populations. Projects can encompass various activities including management, research, monitoring, and outreach. Successful applications must clearly articulate how the proposed work contributes significantly to species recovery or prevents the need for federal listing, demonstrating a tangible direct benefit to the species or its habitat.
