State Wildlife Grants Increased to $73.8 Million in 2008!
The recently passed “omnibus” appropriations bill includes $73.8 million for the State Wildlife Grants Program, our nation's core program for preventing wildlife from becoming endangered in every state. In this budget climate, an increase of $6.3 million is a big victory and it wouldn’t have happened without hard work from thousands of Teaming with Wildlife Supporters like you. Out of the total amount, the bill sets aside about $4.9 million for a to-be-determined competitive grants program and about $6.2 million for Tribal Wildlife Grants.

Committee Approves Climate Legislation with Wildlife Funding
On December 5, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee approved the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act (S.2191), including provisions that would provide substantial dedicated funding for the Wildlife Conservation and Restoration Program. The bill aims to reduce CO2 emissions to 57% below 1990 levels by 2050 and addresses the wildlife impacts of climate change through funding for the state wildlife action plans and other landscape-scale conservation initiatives. For more information and ways you can help keep these provisions in the bill, please visit our climate change page.
