The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering a cooperative agreement grant to the Wildlife Management Institute (WMI), a non-profit organization. This single-source continuation award supports active conservation of vital fish, wildlife, and plant species and their habitats within the Gulf Coast Prairie, Great Plains, and Desert Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs). WMI was selected due to its unique and extensive multi-state and international experience in landscape conservation, having been a key partner in other LCC processes. This partnership is crucial for establishing landscape priorities and outreach activities, particularly in the Southwest Region and with Mexico. Awarding this grant without competition is deemed essential to avoid delays in critical conservation progress and to safeguard the Service’s mission.

| Description: | Cooperative agreement is a continuation to a Single Source Award to Wildlife Management Institute (WMI), a non-profit organization. This award is made though a cooperative agreement between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) with WMI as the recipient. This Single Source Award-Continuation applies to and includes the Gulf Coast Prairie LCC, Great Plains LCC, and Desert LCC and is being made in accordance with Department of the Interior Policy – Interior Manual (Departmental guidance to implement provisions of the Federal Grant and Cooperative Agreement Act and the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act – Departmental Manual Release) 505 (DM 2) 2.14 (B) numbers (1) and (4). WMI is the only organization with extensive multi-state and international landscape conservation experience; WMI has been an integral part of the North Atlantic and Appalachian LCC process. We are confident the success achieved in the Northeast Region can also become a success in the Southwest Region. Because we expect a long-standing relationship with Mexico in this LCC, the international experience is truly unique. The single-source award to the WMI is necessary to assure active conservation of important fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats in the Region 2 LCC¿s. Competition could delay important conservation progress and would have a significant adverse effect on the Service’s mission, especially establishing landscape priority of the LCC and outreach activities. |
