Conservation of Wetlands and Grasslands in the Rainwater Basin Joint: The activities completed through this Cooperative Agreement will support RWBJV partnership activities. The agreement that will result from this funding opportunity will provide financial support from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to the recipient to support the RWBJV partnership with implementation of projects that will be directly linked to migratory bird habitat conservation as described in the RWBJV Implementation Plan and associated bird plans. To successfully implement migratory bird habitat conservation the RWBJV partnership is implementing the Strategic Habitat Conservation (SHC) business model. This business model is built on four interrelated critical elements. Critical elements of the SHC framework include: Biological Planning, Conservation Design, Research/Monitoring/Evaluation, and Implementation/Project Delivery. When implemented these elements provide a feedback mechanism that refines conservation delivery through time. This agreement will facilitate funding to support the critical elements of the SHC business model.
