The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has awarded a $471,000 Project Grant under the Endangered Species Conservation-Wolf Livestock Loss Compensation and Prevention program (CFDA 15.666) to the State of Idaho. This two-part grant funding will provide $221,000 to compensate livestock producers for confirmed wolf predation losses, and $250,000 to support proactive, non-lethal prevention measures to reduce wolf-livestock conflicts. The compensation component will reimburse producers at fair market value for livestock killed or injured by wolves, based on investigations by USDA Wildlife Services. The prevention program will provide funding to Idaho producers for activities like guard dogs, scare devices, temporary fencing, range riders, and carcass removal to mitigate conflicts before they occur. The State of Idaho will contribute in-kind match to administer both the compensation and prevention program elements. This federal grant award began on August 15, 2023 and is scheduled for completion by November 1, 2026.
