Recovering America’s Wildlife Act
How to Take Action to Pass the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act
The Recovering America’s Wildlife Act is out of committee in both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives. Later this month, this groundbreaking legislation could move to the House and Senate floors for full chamber votes.
Native prairies and grasslands are considered High Priority Habitats for the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act. Texas Parks & Wildlife states: “Many tallgrass prairie birds have declined drastically due to land conversion and fragmentation. This region is an important stopover habitat for migrant songbirds and wintering raptors.” The Eastern meadowlark is a Species of Greatest Conservation Need that is dependent on prairies.
TAKE ACTION! The nation’s wildlife has been in crisis for a decade or more with one-third of species—over 1600!—facing an elevated risk of extinction. The first significant conservation legislation in many years, the national bipartisan Recovering America’s Wildlife Act promises to transform area nature enterprises and spaces—if we act now.
