The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service offers this grant, the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund (CESCF) under Section 6 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), to address the critical need for species conservation on private lands. Recognizing that over half of all endangered or threatened species inhabit private property, this grant is designed to support voluntary stewardship efforts. It provides funding to States and Territories, enabling them to play a key role in catalyzing conservation initiatives. The grant’s purpose is to facilitate a wide array of voluntary conservation projects for candidate, listed, and recently recovered species. Through cooperative efforts with landowners, communities, and tribes, this funding aims to plan and implement projects essential for the long-term recovery and protection of vital biodiversity.

| Description: | Because more than half of all species currently listed as endangered or threatened spend at least part of their life cycle on privately-owned lands, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) recognizes that success in conserving species will ultimately depend on working cooperatively with landowners, communities, and tribes to foster voluntary stewardship efforts on private land. States and Territories (hereafter, “States”) play a key role in catalyzing these efforts. A variety of tools are available under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to help States and landowners plan and implement projects to conserve species. The Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund (CESCF) authorized through Section 6 of the ESA provides grants to States to participate in a wide array of voluntary conservation projects for candidate, listed, and recently recovered species. |
