The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking cooperative agreements through its Wildlife Resource Management Program to support comprehensive wildlife conservation efforts on public lands. The program prioritizes activities such as protecting and maintaining wildlife habitats, conducting wildlife population monitoring, reintroduction and propagation, field studies, and educational programs. Eligible applicants include state and local governments, tribal organizations, higher education institutions, and non-profit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)). Proposals will be evaluated based on technical approach, public benefit, applicant qualifications, and alignment with BLM wildlife management priorities, including habitat conservation, species protection, and ecosystem monitoring. The funding opportunity is open from June 23, 2025, to July 23, 2025, with proposals to be submitted through Grants.gov.
The total program funding is $10,000,000, with approximately 90 expected awards ranging from $10,000 to $1,500,000 per project. The anticipated project start date is September 1, 2025, with a project duration of 60 months, concluding on August 30, 2030. Projects will primarily focus on BLM-managed public lands, with an emphasis on conserving priority wildlife habitats, monitoring species populations, and supporting Department of Interior priorities such as conserving 30% of lands and waters by 2030 and increasing climate resilience. The program falls under CFDA Number 15.247 and aims to enhance wildlife conservation efforts across various regions and ecosystems.
