The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering the Wolf Livestock Demonstration Project Grant Program (WLDPGP) for Fiscal Year 2010. Authorized by Congress with $1 million in funding, this grant aims to assist livestock producers in undertaking proactive, non-lethal activities to reduce the risk of livestock loss due to wolf predation, and to compensate them for verified losses. Initially implemented with ten States, the program now also supports three specific Tribes. Selected States and Tribes are responsible for establishing procedures to disburse funds to qualifying projects. These projects must fulfill either purpose and require a 50 percent non-federal cost share, fostering collaborative efforts to manage wolf-livestock conflicts effectively.
