Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Fish and Wildlife Service |
| Description: | The FWS Endangered Species Program provides Federal financial assistance on a competitive basis to States, other Federal agencies, landowners, educators, non-profit organizations, researchers, and other partners to secure information about endangered, threatened or candidate species, to aid in the recovery of these species, to avert listing of species pursuant to the Endangered Species Act, and to help conserve the ecosystems upon which these species depend. The FWS and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), which is part of the Department of Commerces NOAA Fisheries office, share Endangered Species Act responsibilities for several species such as sea turtles. We have responsibility for sea turtles when they are on land, and NMFS has responsibility for sea turtles when they are in the water. Projects for NMFS-managed species are not included in this funding opportunity.
This Candidate Conservation opportunity is intended for projects that will contribute addressing threats to candidate and at-risk species in the United States to help remove threats so that listing is not merited, and is limited to projects carrying out actions described in Candidate Assessments, or other conservation plans or projects. Projects that address species response to climate change will receive additional consideration. |
