This grant is for the purpose of enhancing the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (FWS) capacity to attract diverse and skilled individuals in natural resources management and strategic habitat conservation. A core need is to cultivate youth into future conservation professionals. The initiative aims to achieve this by partnering with The Wildlife Society (TWS) to support student professional development. TWS will employ interns to work with both TWS and FWS, fostering practical experience. Furthermore, the program actively encourages diversity within the conservation field by sponsoring youth affiliated with TWS’s Native People’s Wildlife Management Working Group, College and Education Working Group, and the Ethnic and Diversity Working Group, ensuring a broad talent pool for critical conservation roles.
