Details:
The TWG Program provides opportunities for federally recognized Tribes to engage in fish and wildlife conservation efforts on their lands, many of which are located adjacent to DOI-managed lands. Many of the TWG Program-funded project activities increase fish and wildlife populations, allowing for hunting and fishing opportunities on and off Tribal lands. Additionally, the TWG Program funds project activities that align and assist the Service with Endangered Species Act (ESA) activities supporting downlisting, delisting, and preventing new species listings under the ESA.
Goals
The outcome of the Tribal Wildlife Grants (TWG) Program is increased and enhanced fish, wildlife, and plant conservation on Tribal lands. Through projects funded in part by the TWG Program, Tribes protect and restore habitats and populations of species of Native American cultural or traditional importance, enhancing hunting, fishing, and other subsistence or ceremonial opportunities that support Tribal member well-being, economic development, and sovereignty.
