Wildlife Migration Corridors: Grants for Safe Crossings and Habitat Conservation.
This Act establishes new grant and research programs to fund projects aimed at improving habitat quality and safety along migration routes for big game and other wildlife. Citizens benefit from potentially fewer vehicle collisions with animals and healthier wildlife populations, while the law explicitly protects private property rights and existing agricultural or resource development practices. Funding is available to states, tribes, non-profits, and landowners who voluntarily participate in conservation efforts.
Key points
New federal grants are available for building wildlife crossings, modifying fences, and improving habitats in migration corridors to reduce human-wildlife vehicle collisions.
Participation in conservation projects is voluntary and cannot require changes to farming, forestry, water rights, or existing energy/mining access on private land.
Financial and technical support is provided to states and tribes for mapping and protecting key movement areas, ensuring sensitive data remains confidential.
The law explicitly safeguards public access for hunting, fishing, recreational shooting, and other compatible outdoor recreation.
