About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking applications for projects that implement high priority recovery actions for endangered and threatened species, conserve upon which these species depend, and align with the President's climate priorities. Applicants must be non-federal partners able to provide at least 50% cost sharing and propose work that secures species information, aids recovery, or develops recovery plans. Applications will be evaluated based on technical merit, project priorities, budget appropriateness, and partnerships. Applications are due by December 19, 2023.
Awards are expected to range from $1,000 to $1.7 million, with a total of $4 million available and approximately 18 awards to be granted. The work will fund on-the-ground recovery actions throughout the United States and its territories to benefit species and ecosystems. An anticipated award date is June 1, 2024.
Synopsis
The purpose of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) is to conserve endangered and threatened species and the ecosystems upon which they depend, and to take appropriate steps to achieve the purposes of treaties and conventions set forth in the ESA. Section 2(a)(5) of the ESA authorizes the use of Federal financial assistance to encourage the States and other interested parties to develop and maintain conservation programs to safeguard the Nation's heritage in fish, wildlife and plants for the benefit of all citizens. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) Ecological Services Program provides Federal financial assistance on a competitive basis to states, other Federal agencies, landowners, educators, non-profit organizations, researchers, and other potential partners to secure information about endangered or threatened species, to aid in the recovery of these species under the ESA, and to help conserve the ecosystems upon which these species depend. The Recovery Challenge funding opportunity specifically provides a unique financial assistance opportunity for eligible, non-Federal longstanding and new partners working on high priority recovery actions as identified by the Service for ESA endangered and threatened species.
