This grant, offered by the U.S. Geological Survey’s Wetland and Aquatic Research Center (USGS WARC), is for research dedicated to mitigating the direct and indirect impacts of border wall construction on threatened and endangered plant species within the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. Specifically, this Cooperative Agreement seeks a CESU partner to provide crucial information that can be utilized by recovery teams to protect these vulnerable plants. The project will focus on two key areas: identifying and evaluating pollinators essential for threatened and endangered species, and developing effective propagation facilities and approaches. These efforts aim to supplement established plant populations or facilitate the establishment of new plant communities on suitable protected lands, thereby assisting USGS WARC and conservation partners in their critical preservation efforts in the region.

| Description: | The Wetland and Aquatic Research Center (WARC) of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner in plant ecology and restoration ecology. Specifically, there is a need for research that provides information to mitigate the direct and indirect impacts of border wall construction on threatened and endangered plants within the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. This project will provide information that can be used to mitigate current and future impacts to threatened and endangered plants in this region by working with recovery teams. Potential focal areas include: (1) the identification and evaluation of pollinators for threatened and endangered plant species; and (2) the development of propagation facilities and approaches to supplement threatened and endangered plant populations within established plant communities or establish new plant communities on suitable protected lands. This opportunity will provide an avenue for assisting the USGS WARC and conservation partners in efforts to mitigate the direct and indirect impacts of border wall construction on threatened and endangered plants within the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. |
