This grant opportunity by the US Fish and Wildlife Service aims to provide financial assistance to the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies for strategic conservation efforts based on the principles of adaptive management. The grant focuses on applying science to address threats to fish and wildlife populations, ensuring sustainable levels, and guiding habitat conservation decisions. The aim is to improve species conservation recommendations, defend regulatory decisions, and enhance overall species management. This grant opportunity aligns with various conservation acts and treaties to support the preservation of amphibians and reptiles in priority areas.

| Description: | This is an announcement for issuing a single source financial assistance award to the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (AFWA). This announcement is for notification purposes only. This award is authorized by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, as amended (16 U.S.C 703-712); The Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 742a-742j, not including 742 d-1; Stat.1119), as amended; Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 2901-2911; 94 Stat. 1322); Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531-1544, 87 Stat. 884). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) uses a science-based, adaptive framework for setting and achieving broad-scale conservation objectives that strategically address the problems fish and wildlife will face in the future. This framework, called Strategic Habitat Conservation, is based on the principles of adaptive management and uses population and habitat data, ecological models, and focused monitoring and assessment efforts to develop and implement strategies that result in measurable fish and wildlife population outcomes. This process uses the best available scientific information to predict how fish and wildlife populations will respond to changes in the environment, thus enabling the USFWS to focus habitat conservation and other management activities where they will be most effective. In addition, the USFWS needs focused, applied science directed at high impact questions surrounding threats to fish and wildlife resources for which management and/or mitigation is required to maintain species at healthy, sustainable, desired levels. USFWS must base its decisions on the best science available, in order to defend its regulatory decisions, biological opinions and species conservation recommendations to land managers. |
