To encourage this cooperation, the service has four grant programs available through the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund. These programs include Traditional Conservation Grants, Habitat Conservation Planning Assistance Grants, Habitat Conservation Plan Land Acquisition Grants, and Recovery Land Acquisition Grants.

Eligibility

Participation in this conservation fund is only available to state agencies that have a current cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of the Interior; however, individuals or groups (e.g., cities, land conservancies, counties, and others) may work with a state agency on conservation efforts as a subgrantee.
