The Wildlife Conservation Department is offering this grant to support a new, dedicated facility essential for the recovery of the critically endangered Attwater’s Prairie Chicken (APC). This grant is for the purpose of significantly increasing captive breeding efforts, vital for a species with fewer than 50 birds remaining in Texas coastal prairies. While propagation and release have been ongoing since the 1990s, the current population necessitates intensified action. The new facility will allow for a substantial annual increase in captive-raised APCs, directly supporting the goals of the 2010 APC Recovery Plan and bolstering the species’ chances for long-term survival in the wild.

| Description: | The AttwaterÂ’s prairie chicken (APC) is a critically endangered grouse found in the coastal prairie of Texas. Currently, fewer than 50 birds exist at three locations. Efforts to propagate and release APCs into the wild have been ongoing since 1992 and 1996, respectively. In an effort to attain the goals established in the APC Recovery Plan (2010), captive breeding needs to be increased to provide more birds for release. This new, dedicated facility will increase the number of APCs raised in captivity, thus providing more birds for release annually. |
