The Traditional Conservation Grant Program gives money to states to help protect and recover threatened or endangered animals and plants. Grants can fund projects that directly help species already on the federal list, those being considered for listing, or recently removed species. States can use the money for managing habitats, doing research, monitoring populations, or educating the public. Applications must clearly explain how the project will help the species survive, recover, or avoid needing federal protection. Projects that show a clear, direct benefit to the species or its habitat are most likely to be funded.
Full Description
the principal objective of the traditional conservation grant program is to support the development and implementation of state and territorial (hereafter, "state") programs to conserve and recover threatened and endangered species under fws jurisdiction. financial assistance, provided in the form of grants, can be used to support projects that have direct benefits for federally listed species, candidate and eligible unlisted species, and recently delisted species. states may apply for funding to conduct conservation work on federally listed resident species that are included in the state"s cooperative agreement. states may also apply for funding to monitor candidate, eligible unlisted, and recently delisted species. projects proposed for funding may involve management, research, monitoring, and outreach activities or any combination thereof. applications should include clear and specific information about how the proposed work would contribute to species recovery or prevent the need to list a species under the endangered species act (esa). successful applications will be those that clearly demonstrate a direct benefit to the species or its habitat.
