The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to pass the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act, a bill to prevent wildlife extinctions by funding locally-led conservation efforts.

We can create jobs and prevent extinctions
Congress is considering a bold, bipartisan bill that would go a long way to addressing the wildlife crisis while creating jobs in every state and bridging the political divide. The Recovering America’s Wildlife Act (H.R. 2773) — led by Debbie Dingell, DMich., and Jeff Fortenberry, R-Neb. — would direct $1.4 billion of existing federal revenue toward proactive, voluntary, locally led efforts to help fish and wildlife species in decline.
America’s Conservation Enhancement Act is a Win for Wildlife and Sporting Traditions
The overwhelming bipartisan support in the U.S. Senate for America’s Conservation Enhancement (ACE) Act is a tremendous win for America’s wildlife and sporting traditions. Championed by Senators John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Tom Carper (D-Del.), and Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), the bill invests in wetlands, fisheries, Chronic Wasting Disease research, and habitat restoration projects in the Chesapeake Bay and throughout the country. The U.S. House of Representatives should quickly follow suit and pass this important legislation so it can be signed into law.
