- This $100,000 Cooperative Agreement, awarded on January 2, 2024 by the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service (CFDA 15.657 Endangered Species Recovery Implementation), supports the Atlanta Botanical Garden in implementing critical recovery actions for two threatened plant species native to the Southern Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Key deliverables include conducting population censuses, assessing threats, developing propagation protocols, and establishing seed...
- Rutgers University will conduct a spatially explicit population viability analysis for the piping plover within the New York-New Jersey recovery unit under a $118,066 cooperative agreement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The analysis aims to determine the population size, demographic rates, habitat amounts and configurations necessary for viability and recovery of the subpopulation, including under scenarios of coastal storm impacts and sea level rise. Results will provide targets for...
- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, through the Endangered Species Recovery Implementation program (CFDA 15.657), awarded a $592,000 Project Grant to the State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR).

- This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Endangered Species Recovery Implementation program (CFDA 15.657) provides $673,655 over 10 years to support the identification of climate-resilient plant translocations and maintain ex situ collections for future translocations in Hawaii. The key objectives are to: 1) provide propagules for experimental plant translocations, and 2) conduct research on cryopreservation techniques to enable long-term storage of...
MONITORING, SURVEYS, AND RESEARCH WILL BE CONDUCTED BY THE ARKANSAS NATURAL HERITAGE COMMISSION TO DETERMINE THE HEALTH AND STATUS OF THREE FEDERALLY THREATENED OR ENDANGERED PLANT SPECIES AND ONE PETITIONED SPECIES. THISINFORMATION WILL BE USED FOR HABITAT AND RECOVERY MANAGEMENT PURPOSES, OR TO SUPPORT LISTING DECISIONS. THE WORK INCLUDES MONITORING AND SURVEYS FOR PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN POPULATIONS OF GEOCARPON (GEOCARPON MINIMUM), SMALL-HEADEDPIPEWORT (ERIOCAULON KOERNICKIANUM), HARPERELLA (PTILIMNIUM NODOSUM), AND PONDBERRY (LINDERA MELISSIFOLIA). IT ALSO INCLUDES SUPPLEMENTAL SEEDING EXPERIMENTS FOR GEOCARPON AND PONDBERRY, IF CONDITIONS ARE SUITABLE. PONDBERRY SEEDS, ROOTS, AND SOIL SAMPLES MAY ALSO BE COLLECTED TO SUPPORT ACADEMIC RESEARCHERS, PENDING THE SERVICE S APPROVAL OF THEIR RESEARCH PERMIT APPLICATION.
