Pacific Northwest and Pacific Islands Endangered Species Recovery Program: Funding for potential opportunities under this program is only an estimation. The FWS ESRP seeks to maximize the public benefit by encouraging potential applicants to present proposals that maximize the cost sharing or cost matching benefits. The ultimate goal of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) is the recovery (and subsequent conservation) of endangered and threatened species and the ecosystems on which they depend. A variety of methods and procedures are used to recover listed species, such as protective measures to prevent extinction or further decline and on-the-ground activities for managing and monitoring endangered and threatened species. The collaborative efforts of the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and its many partners (Federal, State, and local agencies, Tribal governments, conservation organizations, the business community, landowners, and other concerned citizens) are critical to the recovery of listed species. The FWS Recovery Program staff works with its many partners to take necessary measures to prevent extinction of species by implementing actions to reverse the decline of listed species and expedite full recovery. Recovery plans provide a blueprint for private, Federal, and State cooperation in the conservation of threatened and endangered species and their ecosystems. The recovery of many listed species cannot be accomplished solely on our National Wildlife Refuges, National Forests, National Parks, and other Federal lands because many species occur primarily or solely on private lands. Achieving recovery for most threatened and endangered species therefore requires cooperative conservation efforts on private lands. To stabilize, recover, and ultimately delist endangered and threatened species, the FWS engages, and encourages the participation of, multiple stakeholders including landowners who do or could provide key habitat for an endangered or threatened species. To assist stakeholders, the FWS Recovery Program has limited funding available to implement conservation projects for listed species in the Pacific Norwest and the Pacific Islands. In addition, we will consider proposals on candidates and species of concern. Please Note that Recovery Program funding is not available for the acquisition of real property either through fee title or easements. Any individual or agency is eligible to apply for this funding.
