Over 1,000 scientists urge adoption of the Recovering America's Wildlife Act

Scientists Support Dedicated At-Risk Species Funding

The undersigned natural resource scientists and managers working in partnership with state and tribal fish and wildlife agencies stand in support of dedicated funding for the conservation of America’s at-risk fish and wildlife. We urge Congress to take up measures that work towards this goal, including the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act.

America harbors a remarkable array of fish and wildlife species, many of which face increased risk of extinction due to threats such as habitat alteration, invasive species, disease, and other problems exacerbated by the impacts of a changing climate. Over one third of these species are in need of immediate conservation action from these human-induced threats, including up to 40 percent of freshwater fish species, 42 percent of amphibian species, and 18 percent of bat species. On a global scale, a recent United Nations report detailed over 1 million species at risk of extinction, with approximately 680 vertebrate species already having gone extinct since the 1500s.

State fish and wildlife agencies operating on the front lines of this crisis have spent the past several years working to identify at-risk species and define appropriate conservation strategies to address their declines through the creation of State Wildlife Action Plans.

Unfortunately, since first mandated by Congress nearly two decades ago, State Wildlife Action Plans have remained chronically underfunded. Today, nearly 12,000 species are in need of urgent action in order to avoid costly scenarios such as Endangered Species Act listing.

Sufficient, dedicated funding for Wildlife Action Plans would provide states and tribes with the resources and certainty needed to plan long-term conservation and monitoring. This problem is exacerbated in tribal agencies, where tribal professionals have no reliable funding mechanism to work with partners on at-risk species conservation or the creation of action plans.

The passage of the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act would dramatically change this dynamic by providing state and tribal agencies with the funding needed to promote voluntary and cost-effective on-the-ground conservation work. By providing states, tribes and partner biologists funds to conserve these species today, we can avoid Endangered Species Act listings tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Alabama
