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 focuses on conserving and recovering threatened and endangered species under the Service’s jurisdiction, specifically targeting the Southern United States, including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Financial support is offered for projects benefiting federally listed species, candidate and at-risk species, and recently delisted species. Eligible projects can encompass management, research, monitoring, and outreach to aid species recovery or prevent the need for listing under the Endangered Species Act.
