The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.
The Traditional Conservation Grant Program aims to support the conservation and recovery of threatened and endangered species within Service Region 1, which includes Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam. This program provides financial grants to states for projects directly benefiting federally listed species, candidates, at-risk species, and recently delisted species. Eligible projects can involve management, research, monitoring, and outreach activities. States seeking funding need to demonstrate how their projects will contribute to species recovery or prevent the species from being listed under the Endangered Species Act, with successful applications showing a direct benefit to the species or its habitat.
