The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) awarded a $500,000 Cooperative Agreement to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) under the Partners for Fish and Wildlife (CFDA 15.631) program. This 5-year agreement, running from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2029, will support a public-private partnership to improve the quality of western migration corridor, stopover, and winter range habitat. The program aims to advance the goals of Secretarial Order 3362 and recent Executive Orders related to climate change by working with multiple federal agencies, including the Bureau of Land Management, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and U.S. Forest Service, as well as private sector partners like ConocoPhillips, to support western wildlife migrations, bolster local ranching economies, and improve ecosystem health to support biodiversity and species' ability to adapt to a changing environment.
