What this bill would do

The Critically Endangered Animals Conservation Act of 2026 aims to assist in the conservation of critically endangered species in foreign countries. The Secretary of the Interior will manage a competitive grant program using the Critically Endangered Animals Conservation Fund. These grants are intended to help recover and sustain viable populations of species outside of the United States. Eligible applicants include foreign wildlife management authorities or experts with demonstrated capacity. The bill establishes specific goals for projects, such as habitat restoration and the prevention of illegal trade. It also creates a dedicated fund to support these conservation efforts through appropriations and donations.
