About this opportunity
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking cooperative agreements through its Threatened and Endangered Species Program to support conservation and recovery efforts for endangered, threatened, and sensitive species across BLM-managed lands. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofits, county and city governments, state governments, tribal organizations, and higher education institutions. The program's primary objectives are to streamline permitting processes, reduce regulatory requirements, and improve information supporting land use authorizations by conserving species habitats and preventing new endangered species listings. Proposals will be evaluated based on statement of need, technical approach, public benefit, applicant qualifications, and potential for leveraging resources. The application deadline is July 23, 2025, with a merit review committee responsible for selecting recipients.
The funding opportunity will award up to 30 grants totaling $4,500,000, with individual awards ranging from $25,000 to $1,000,000. Projects are anticipated to start on September 1, 2025, with a maximum project end date of August 30, 2030. The program supports diverse activities including species monitoring, habitat restoration, genetic analyses, and educational outreach, with specific state-level priorities varying by region. Cooperative agreements will be performed on or near BLM lands, focusing on comprehensive conservation efforts that align with Department of Interior priorities such as protecting biodiversity and increasing climate resilience.
Synopsis
The BLM T & E Program focuses on conservation and recovery of endangered, threatened and BLM sensitive species (cumulatively referred to as special status species) and their habitats to help ensure balanced and diverse uses of BLM-managed lands including the Nation"s need for domestic sources of energy, minerals, timber, recreation, and fish and wildlife habitat for future generations. The T & E Program focuses on implementing the Department of Interior"s priorities by emphasizing actions that help streamline permitting processes and reduce regulatory requirements for authorizations (e.g., minerals, energy, timber, recreation). Overall, this can be achieved by 1) conserving and recovering species and their habitats to help recover and delist or help preclude the need to list new endangered and threatened species thereby reducing future regulations and 2) improving available information and data that can be used to support approval of authorizations. To meet these goals, the T & E Program has an opportunity to work with partner organizations to increase program efficiencies and effectiveness.
