The Department of Environmental Conservation is offering a grant to establish a new breeding facility for the critically endangered Attwater’s prairie chicken in Texas. With less than 50 birds remaining in the wild, this facility aims to increase captive breeding efforts to meet the goals of the APC Recovery Plan. By raising more APCs in captivity, the facility will contribute to releasing more birds into the wild annually, ultimately aiding in the conservation of this species. Closing date for applications is September 14, 2012.

| Description:: | The AttwaterÂ’s prairie chicken (APC) is a critically endangered grouse found in the coastal prairie of Texas. Currently, fewer than 50 birds exist at three locations. Efforts to propagate and release APCs into the wild have been ongoing since 1992 and 1996, respectively. In an effort to attain the goals established in the APC Recovery Plan (2010), captive breeding needs to be increased to provide more birds for release. This new, dedicated facility will increase the number of APCs raised in captivity, thus providing more birds for release annually. |
