This conservation grant program aims to support the continued captive breeding of the critically endangered Attwater’s prairie chicken (APC). With fewer than 100 birds remaining in Texas coastal prairies, ongoing propagation and release efforts are crucial to achieving the APC Recovery Plan goals and increasing wild populations. This grant is for organizations with a proven track record in breeding and rearing APCs, seeking to contribute to the species’ recovery. Eligible facilities must be AZA accredited, offer 24-hour veterinary services, and be within a 12-hour drive of Texas release sites. Successful applicants will need to provide a 1:1 non-federal match to the total funding, demonstrating a commitment to this vital conservation effort.

| Description: | The Attwaters prairie chicken (Tympanuchus cupido attwateri) (APC) is a critically endangered grouse found in the coastal prairies of Texas. Currently, fewer than 100 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 draft APC Recovery Plan, captive breeding needs to continue in order to increase numbers in the wild. APC breeding facilities must have a proven track record that shows that they are capable of breeding and rearing APCs and must be AZA accredited. Facilities must also have 24-hr veterinary services capable of treating sick or injured APCs. Facilities should be within 12-hours driving distance from APC release sites located along the mid- to upper Texas coast. Since funding for this project is from a challenge cost share source, facilities will need to match (1:1 ratio)the total funding with non-federal dollars (i.e., $110,000). |
