and Wildlife Recovery
Implementation Fund; September 30, 2011

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
Recovery Implementation funding opportunity is intended for projects that will
contribute to the recovery of FWS-managed endangered and threatened species in
the United States, and is limited to projects carrying out actions described in
a species’ approved recovery plan, in the implementation schedule of a species’
approved recovery plan, actions recommended in a completed 5-year status review
of the species or in a spotlight species action plan, or projects documenting
species’ response to climate change. For example: securing scientific
information about endangered or threatened species, implementing restoration
actions that will lead to delisting of a species, help prevent extinction of a
species, or aid in the recovery of a species. Projects that address species
response to climate change will receive additional consideration.
