Northern Great Plains

Stretching from the foothills of the Rockies into the badlands of the Dakotas and Nebraska, the Northern Great Plains cover over 180 million acres. The landscape is characterized by expansive grasslands supporting a unique assemblage of wildlife adapted to require little or no disturbance to sustain their populations. 

Partnerships

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation works with both the public and private sectors to protect and restore the nation's fish, wildlife, plants and habitats for current and future generations. NFWF matches private dollars with public funds and uses science-based conservation and competitive grant programs to direct those resources to projects that produce the greatest measurable results for wildlife.

Mitigation Funds

Many different state and federal laws protecting the environment and natural resources require entities to apply for and secure permits, licenses, and other governmental approvals as a condition of undertaking certain activities. For example, there are various federal and state laws that apply to the protection of wetlands and threatened or endangered species, among them the federal Clean Water Act (CWA, codified at 33 U.S.C. §1251 et seq.) and the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA, codified at 16 U.S.C. §1531 et seq.).
