Recently introduced Senate legislation that looks to invest $1.3 billion in wildlife and habitat conservation would bolster voluntary conservation programs for farmers and landowners.
Recovering America’s Wildlife Act co-sponsor Roy Blunt of Missouri said the legislation recognizes the need for immediate wildlife and habitat restoration calling for voluntary efforts from farmers.
“It establishes a new wildlife conservation and restoration program within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to promote voluntary conservation efforts to work with private landowners and others,” he said.
