Bring Back the Natives: A Public-Private Partnership for Restoring
Populations of Native Aquatic Species
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), in cooperation with
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), Bureau of Land Management
(BLM), U.S.D.A. Forest Service (FS), and Trout Unlimited (TU), is
pleased to request pre-proposals from nonprofit organizations,
universities, Native American tribes, and local, state, and federal
agencies interested in restoring, protecting, and enhancing native
populations of sensitive or listed aquatic species, especially on lands
on or adjacent to federal agency lands. Funding for the BBN program is
administered through NFWF from federal agencies cooperating to support
this program. This funding suggests a $2 non-federal match for each
federal dollar requested by applicants. Since 1991, BBN has supported
279 projects and benefited over 120 species, 29 of which are federally
listed as threatened or endangered.
