This grant is for the critical purpose of continuing captive breeding efforts for the Attwater’s prairie chicken (APC), a critically endangered grouse native to the Texas coastal prairie. With fewer than 75 birds remaining across only three locations, the species faces imminent extinction. Since 1992, propagation efforts have been crucial, followed by releases starting in 1996. To achieve the vital goals outlined in the Attwater’s Prairie Chicken Recovery Plan (2010), sustained captive breeding is essential. This initiative aims to produce a sufficient number of birds for release into their natural habitat, bolstering wild populations and preventing the extinction of this unique Texas species.

| Description: | The Attwaters 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. |
