Click here to visit our RFP/RFQ, Bid Notices and Vendor Registration page and learn more. Congress allocates funding annually for bird, wildlife and habitat conservation programs in this country through its State Wildlife Grant program.

Each state is responsible for implementing its own plans and management strategies for effective wildlife conservation based on its State Wildlife Action Plan. States use these funds in a variety of creative and cost-effective ways to stop the decline of species. For example, some states have initiated programs to identify important bird areas and others have identified effective strategies to fight invasive species.

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission began receiving funding through State Wildlife Grants in October 2001. Federal funds are available to Arkansas through State Wildlife Grants to monitor, research and protect the needs of wildlife not addressed by funding available for game species or endangered species. To be eligible for these funds, Arkansas developed a comprehensive strategy to effectively allocate the money.

The strategy was authored by teams of wildlife professionals representing public agencies and private organizations. The Arkansas Wildlife Action Plan was approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on January 17, 2007. The Plan was revised and approved January 2015.

The Arkansas Wildlife Action plan implements the priorities determined by a database of scientific knowledge of wildlife. A total of 377 species of greatest conservation need are addressed in the context of 37 terrestrial habitats and 18 aquatic habitats in 7 ecoregions in Arkansas; the need to protect many species has never been greater.
