The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service recently announced a record $1.5 billion in annual funding for wildlife and habitat conservation efforts. The funds, which funnel through the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program (WSFR), were earmarked under the nation’s infrastructure law.
“Many Americans are unaware of the remarkable conservation impact of the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program,” said Fish and Wildlife Service Principal Deputy Director Martha Williams. “State wildlife agencies dedicate WSFR funds to a variety of conservation projects and programs, such as hunting and fishing education, fish and wildlife management, scientific research, habitat restoration and protection, land and water rights acquisition and hunting and boating access. Everyone benefits from these investments, which have ensured a legacy of wildlife and outdoor opportunities for all.”
