This SARC grant is for establishing a new, dedicated facility to significantly increase the captive breeding of Attwater’s Prairie Chickens (APCs), a critically endangered grouse. With fewer than 50 birds remaining across three locations, current propagation and release efforts, ongoing since the early 1990s, are insufficient to meet recovery goals. This funding is crucial to boost the number of APCs raised in captivity, thereby providing more birds for annual release into the wild. The new facility will directly support the ambitious objectives outlined in the APC Recovery Plan (2010), playing a vital role in preventing the extinction of this imperiled species.

| Description: | The Attwater’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. |
