This grant, focused on Recovery Implementation, is dedicated to supporting critical actions for the recovery of federally endangered and threatened species. It emphasizes the vital role of recovery plans as guiding documents under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). These plans define when ESA protections are no longer needed and identify the most effective, feasible actions for species survival and recovery. They also provide essential estimates of time and cost, enabling progress measurement and resource allocation. This initiative aims to facilitate collaborative efforts with various partners, including “the Service”, to improve the status of imperiled species and achieve their successful recovery.

| Description: | Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022— Administrative Provisions (Pub. L. 117-103 [H.R. 2471—305]), Endangered Species Act, 16 U.S.C. §1531 et. seq.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. |
