Deadline: 1-Aug-22
The Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking applications for its FY22 Recovery Implementation Grant Program to provide a means by which the ecosystems upon which endangered and threatened species depend may be conserved, to provide a program for the conservation of such endangered species and threatened species, and to take appropriate steps to achieve the purposes of treaties and conventions.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) Ecological Services Program provides Federal financial assistance on a competitive basis to states, landowners, educators, non-governmental organizations, researchers, and other potential partners to secure information about endangered, threatened or candidate species, to aid in the recovery of these species, pursuant to the Endangered Species Act, and to help conserve the ecosystems upon which these species depend.
Program Objective
The principal objective of this Recovery Implementation funding opportunity is to support the implementation of priority recovery actions for federally endangered and threatened species. The ESA conveys the importance of recovery plans as a central organizing tool for guiding each species’ recovery process by requiring their development for every listed species.
Priorities
Proposals will be prioritized based on the following:
- Enhance partnerships with states, non-governmental organizations, private landowners, other Federal agencies, and others,
- Leverage their resources and authorities with those of their partners, and
- Highest priority will be given to projects that develop and implement management actions designed to have a direct impact on recovery of listed species (e.g., reduce or eliminate threats).
