Puerto Rico Cnsrvation TR Fund

Puerto Rico Conservation Trust Fund (Fideicomiso De Conservacion De Puerto Rico) is a non-profit organization based in San Juan, Puerto Rico that has been registered to receive federal awards since February 2006. The organization partners with government agencies on endangered species conservation and habitat restoration efforts throughout Puerto Rico, providing critical support for environmental protection and species recovery initiatives in the U.S. territory. Through federal grant awards, the organization delivers specialized conservation services focused on endangered species propagation, habitat restoration, and infrastructure improvements necessary to support long-term ecological recovery.

The organization has received multiple prime federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, demonstrating its expertise in conservation project management. Most notably, the Puerto Rico Conservation Trust Fund received a $5.3 million Cooperative Agreement awarded on September 1, 2025, under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination and Assistance Program (CFDA 15.664) to repair and rehabilitate Puerto Rican parrot aviaries and wild introduction sites, including access road repairs and underground electrical grid installation, with completion scheduled for August 31, 2030. Prior awards include a Cooperative Agreement from DOI Fish and Wildlife Service Region 4 for the propagation and recovery of endangered plant species in Puerto Rico's central mountain region (October 2021 through October 2024), and a Project Grant from DOI Fish and Wildlife Service Headquarters Region 9 under the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act to restore degraded coffee plantation habitat for migratory bird species (July 2021 through June 2026). The organization has also served as a sub-grantee under awards from the Governor's Authorized Representative and the Puerto Rico Department of Housing, receiving sub-grant allocations for public works projects and non-federal matching programs, indicating its role as both a direct federal grantee and a partner in broader territorial conservation and infrastructure initiatives.
