The
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service awarded more than $7 million in grants to 37 tribes in 16 states.
The money will be used for a wide range of conservation projects.
“Tribal lands provide important habitat for hundreds of species across the nation, and Tribal Wildlife Grants are a critical tool to help conserve them,” Rowan Gould, the acting director of FWS, said in a
press release.
Recipients include the
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, which will use $200,000 for long range integrated resource management, and the
Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation, which received $167,269 to study a proposed groundwater pipeline.
