Teaming With Wildlife: Seeking Federal Funding

Seeking Federal Funding

The State Wildlife Grants Program is our nation's core program for preventing wildlife from becoming endangered in every state and has created over $700 million in new funding for wildlife conservation nationwide. The Teaming with Wildlife Coalition will continue to seek increased funding for State Wildlife Grants, but is also seeking legislation to provide adequate, dedicated funding for wildlife conservation and related education and recreation.
