We support projects that help protect and sustain native, at-risk wildlife.
Examples of previously approved projects:
Implementation of direct actions to help imperiled species and their habitats in Texas (e.g. habitat restoration, threat removal, communications for behavior change or actions needed).
Strategic engagement of local communities and audiences in the conservation of threatened and endangered species in Texas.
Technical guidance and resource projects for local landowners to conserve at-risk species.
Monitoring of threatened or imperiled wildlife species for the purpose of land use planning that facilitates improved habitat quality and connectivity, and that demonstrates a direct link to conservation action.
