About this program
The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service administers Wildlife Without Borders–Mexico (CFDA 15.641), which funds capacity-building training projects that develop Mexican personnel expertise in biodiversity conservation and natural resource management, with the most recent grant award issued on June 30, 2017.
Program activity has declined materially. The Fish and Wildlife Service issued 119 awards over two decades, averaging 14–21 awards annually from 2013 through 2015 before dropping to 10 awards in 2017. No awards have been disbursed since mid-2017, and no grant opportunities have been posted since October 2015.
Recent funded activities span species-specific conservation training, community-based natural resource management, environmental education, and institutional capacity building for Mexican environmental enforcement. Representative recent awards include: $485,465 for community recovery of native rainforest species in Veracruz (2017), $343,500 for coral reef conservation in the Mexican Pacific (2017), $926,366 for sustainable productive projects across conservation areas (2016), training programs on invasive species and monarch butterfly conservation, jaguar habitat management through community engagement, and development of professional environmental educator networks in southeastern Mexico. A smaller number of projects address cross-border policy and enforcement coordination with U.S. agencies.
The program obligated $4.9 million in federal dollars across 119 awards, with combined federal and non-federal dollars totaling $13.3 million, indicating recipient cost-share participation. Typical award magnitudes ranged from $26,000 to $485,000, with a median around $75,000–$125,000. Nearly all funding came through the Fish and Wildlife Service's main office (110 awards, $3.9 million federal dollars), with a small portion directed through Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 Headquarters (9 awards, $1 million federal dollars). Project Grants comprised 97 percent of awards, with Cooperative Agreements representing the remainder.
The program solicited applications through an October 2015 opportunity (F15AS00439) that remained open to higher education institutions and 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits. No subsequent opportunities are evident in recent public records.
