Support for Wildlife Habitats on Agricultural Lands

This act aims to expand an environmental protection program, allowing farmers to receive payments for maintaining seasonally flooded lands that serve as wildlife habitats. This enables farmers to continue their agricultural activities while contributing to nature conservation, benefiting citizens through improved conditions for wild fauna.
Key points
Farmers can now enroll additional agricultural lands into the conservation program, even if previously ineligible, provided it is critical for habitat protection.
The act permits seasonal flooding of working croplands to create wetland-dependent species habitats, allowing farmers to continue farming with best management practices.
Payments to farmers for maintaining these lands will be calculated fairly and consistently across regions, reflecting the costs of maintaining similar habitats.
