This grant is for supporting the crucial implementation of priority recovery actions for federally endangered and threatened species. The Endangered Species Act (ESA) mandates recovery plans as central tools, providing a comprehensive vision for each species’ recovery. These plans define the point at which ESA protections are no longer needed, identify and prioritize the most effective and feasible recovery actions, and offer estimates for the time and cost required. Furthermore, they enable the Service to measure success, manage resource needs, and foster collaboration with partners to improve the status of imperiled species. This funding aims to translate these vital plans into tangible progress.

| Description: | The principal objective of this Recovery Implementation funding opportunity is to support the implementation of priority recovery actions for federally endangered and threatened species. The ESA conveys the importance of recovery plans as a central organizing tool for guiding each species’ recovery process by requiring their development for every listed species. Recovery plans establish an overall recovery vision that, among other things: • Defines the point at which protections under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) are no longer needed, • Identifies and prioritizes the most effective and feasible suite of recovery actions that will promote species survival and recovery, • Provides the public and policy makers with an overall estimate of the time and cost to recover species, and the ability to measure success and resources needs, and • Aids the Service in working with others to improve the status for imperiled species. |
