The Bureau of Land Management's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
The Arizona Threatened and Endangered Species Program seeks applications for projects that are state or regional in scope, or that provide a programmatic approach to enhance the Bureau's effectiveness or efficiency in species conservation. It prioritizes projects that have the potential for national implementation or that promote tangible, on-the-ground actions leading to the improvement of species populations or the reduction of population-level threats. The program emphasizes support for projects that align with its strategic goals and are funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (regarding Ecosystem Restoration) and the Inflation Reduction Act (focusing on Resilience, Ecosystems Restoration, and DOI initiatives).
