The Abilene Zoo is offering this grant to support critical conservation efforts for the Attwater’s Prairie Chicken (APC), a critically endangered grouse native to the coastal prairies of Texas. With only around 100 birds remaining across three locations, this grant is for the vital purpose of continuing the zoo’s successful captive breeding program. Established in 1992, the program aims to propagate and release APCs into the wild. Funding will directly contribute to increasing wild populations, aligning with the comprehensive goals set forth in the APC Recovery Plan and ensuring the long-term survival of this imperiled species.
