HR 7408

The America’s Wildlife Habitat Conservation Act aims to bolster wildlife conservation efforts by providing supplemental funding to states, territories, the District of Columbia, and Indian Tribes. It establishes a Wildlife Habitat Conservation and Restoration Subaccount within the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act, specifically targeting species of greatest conservation need, including those listed under the Endangered Species Act. The bill also includes provisions for tribal wildlife conservation, a GAO study to assess conservation progress, and incentives for private landowners to participate in habitat conservation. Finally, it addresses forest information reform and provides for greater incentives to recover listed species.
