Species Protection: Limiting Federal Aid to Native US Wildlife and Domestic Land Use.

This bill changes federal wildlife protection rules, restricting endangered or threatened status only to species native to the United States. Furthermore, it prohibits using federal conservation funds to purchase land or property in foreign countries. This ensures that US taxpayer money for species protection is focused exclusively on domestic conservation efforts.
Key points
Federal protection (Endangered Species Act listing) will only apply to species that are native to the United States.
Federal funds designated for species conservation cannot be used to acquire land, water, or property interests in any foreign country.
