Fish and Wildlife Service

Description

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), Regions 4 and 5, intend to make a sole source award of a cooperative agreement to the NCBG at the University of North Carolina. This project was previously vetted through an internal USFWS review process, via the Cooperative Recovery Initiative (CRI). The CRI is a cross-programmatic effort to complete on-the-ground conservation to address the highest priority threatened and endangered species on and near wildlife refuges. Funding is directed toward preventing extinctions or for implementing recovery actions for species near delisting or reclassification from endangered to threatened status.
