Opportunity Information: Apply for F21AS00170
The Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund (CESCF) offers Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) Land Acquisition Grants to support the conservation of endangered and threatened species on non-Federal lands. Recognizing that many listed species rely on these lands, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) collaborates with States to enhance conservation efforts.
Under Section 6 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), these competitive grants are available to eligible State agencies to help develop and implement effective conservation programs. The current Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) includes updated guidelines regarding application eligibility, evaluation, and selection processes, which applicants should thoroughly review.
Historically, landowners faced risks regarding the protection of species before the 1982 ESA amendments allowed for incidental take permits, encouraging the inclusion of HCPs that outline conservation strategies. These plans not only address listed species but can also incorporate efforts to protect candidates and at-risk species, fostering broader ecological benefits.
Established in 1997, the HCP Land Acquisition Grant program focuses on reducing the conflicts between land use and species conservation by providing matching grants for land acquisition. This includes fee simple purchases or permanent conservation easements aimed at conserving habitat. Though these grants only go to State agencies with a confirmed Cooperative Agreement under Section 6(c) of the ESA, local entities can partner with these agencies as subgrantees to advance shared conservation goals. Overall, the program aims to bolster species recovery and prevent extinction through strategic land conservation.Apply for F21AS00170
