HAPPY ANNIVERSARY State Wildlife Grants! This week we celebrate a decade of conservation success -- State Wildlife Grants have been funding the important work of state wildlife agencies and conservation partners since 2000.
That's when Congress created the program, providing the first comprehensive
funding for states to conserve the 90% of America's wildlife not hunted, fished
or on the Endangered Species List.
State Wildlife Grants have made an
impact across Missouri.All week, we'll celebrate the
10-year-old program and its successes.
Stay tuned!
Special 10 Year State Wildlife Grants Report for Missouri
2010 marks the 10th Anniversary of the State Wildlife Grants Program. In
celebration of this major accomplishment in conservation history, it is
fitting that we look back at the path that got us to this point and
review some of the milestones this partnership program made possible.
This special report is a summary of the inception, implementation, and
accomplishments in conservation made possible from the State Wildlife
Grants Program and its associated programs in Missouri.
Since its inception ten years ago, State Wildlife Grants has enabled our conservation community to make significant contributions to the restoration and management of habitats in Missouri and their associated fish, forest and wildlife resources.
Missouri has received more than $12.4 million over the past 10 years (averaging about $1.2 million annually) to help ensure that Missouri has healthy, sustainable plant and animal communities for future generations to use and enjoy.
