This grant, structured as a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement, is being awarded to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The core purpose of this funding is to undertake vital control measures targeting two highly invasive plant species: buffelgrass and giant cane. These critical conservation efforts are designated for specific sensitive ecosystems located on the Texas bank, within the bi-national experimental reach of the Big Bend-Rio Bravo. The scope of work encompasses the stretch between Gravel Pit and the lower end of Boquillas Canyon, both significant areas within the expansive Big Bend National Park. This targeted initiative aims to preserve the native flora, mitigate the detrimental ecological impact of these non-native species, and support the long-term health and biodiversity of the park’s unique riparian and desert environments.
