The Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation received a $200,000 Project Grant award from the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 under the Tribal Wildlife Grants program (CFDA 15.639) for the period of January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The grant will support the continued implementation of the Canada Lynx Augmentation Project, an international effort to live trap lynx populations from British Columbia and release them on the Colville Indian Reservation to help recover this culturally significant species. Key activities to be funded include trapping lynx, health assessments, GPS collar deployment, transportation, release into suitable habitat areas, and extensive post-release monitoring of habitat use, movement, reproduction and mortality. The project aims to increase lynx distribution and occurrence in the Kettle Range as well as parts of British Columbia and the Cascades over the grant period.
