Description
The
FWS Endangered Species Program provides Federal financial assistance on a
competitive basis to States, other Federal agencies, landowners, educators,
non-profit organizations, researchers, and other partners to secure information
about endangered, threatened or candidate species, to aid in the recovery of
these species, to avert listing of species pursuant to the Endangered Species
Act, and to help conserve the ecosystems upon which these species depend. The
FWS and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), which is part of the
Department of Commerce’s NOAA Fisheries office, share Endangered Species Act
responsibilities for several species such as sea turtles. We have
responsibility for sea turtles when they are on land, and NMFS has
responsibility for sea turtles when they are in the water. Projects for
NMFS-managed species are not included in this funding opportunity. This
Candidate Conservation opportunity is intended for projects that will
contribute addressing threats to candidate and at-risk species in the United
States to help remove threats so that listing is not merited, and is limited to
projects carrying out actions described in Candidate Assessments, or other
conservation plans or projects. Projects that address species response to
climate change will receive additional consideration.
