AI Contract Overview
Tribal Wildlife Grants provide financial and technical assistance to federally recognized Tribes for conserving fish, wildlife, and their habitats, with a focus on species of cultural or traditional importance, regardless of whether they are hunted, fished, gathered, listed as threatened or endangered, or included in official conservation plans. Funding supports a wide range of activities including planning, research, field surveys, population monitoring, habitat mapping, protection and enhancement, and conservation education, and may cover salaries, equipment, consultant services, subawards, materials, and travel. Projects must align with federal conservation goals and may contribute to broader initiatives such as America250.
