Description:
The purpose of this program is to help federally recognized tribes to engage in fish and wildlife conservation efforts on their lands. Funding will support the initiation, development, and implementation of activities and programs that benefit wildlife and their habitat, including species of Native American cultural or traditional importance and species that are not hunted or fished. Projects may increase fish and wildlife populations, allowing for hunting and fishing opportunities on and off tribal lands. In addition, this program supports projects that align and assist the funding agency with Endangered Species Act (ESA) activities that downlist, delist, and prevent species listing under the ESA. Eligible project activities include:
  1. Planning for conservation of fish and wildlife and their habitats
  2. Conservation management actions for fish and wildlife and their habitats
  3. Field and laboratory research related to fish and wildlife resources
  4. Natural history studies
  5. Fish passages
  6. Habitat mapping or evaluation
  7. Field surveys and population monitoring
  8. Restoration of habitat
  9. Management of invasive species
  10. Public education relevant to the proposed project
