The Department of the Interior looking to pay to protect land and wildlife

Thank heavens most of us understand its real value!

The Department of the Interiorhas announced the start of a public process to explore expanding incentives for voluntary partnerships with private

landowners and other land stewards in an effort to help conserve imperiled wildlife. The process is part of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service‘s commitment to try innovative approaches to protect and restore habitats for wildlife, improve implementation of the Endangered Species Act and strengthen local economies.

Targets for partnership will be farmers, ranchers and forest landowners, who also have a stake in ensuring the working lands remain healthy. The

program hopes to give these citizens more tools and support to provide habitat for at-risk wildlife.

At the outset there will be a comment period on the ways the Fish and Wildlife Service can make existing conservation tools more effective and also improve incentives.

This program follows the announcement of a partnership between the Fish and Wildlife Service and Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service to offer assistance to farmers, ranchers and forest landowners. This Working Lands for Wildlife Initiative will prioritize $33 million in restoration actions. The initiative will model these future plans with private landowners.
