Grant Description

Cooperative agreement is a continuation to a Single Source Award to Wildlife Management Institute (WMI), a non-profit organization. This award is made though a cooperative agreement between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) with WMI as the recipient. This Single Source Award-Continuation applies to and includes the Gulf Coast Prairie LCC, Great Plains LCC, and Desert LCC and is being made in accordance with Department of the Interior Policy - Interior Manual (Departmental guidance to implement provisions of the Federal Grant and Cooperative Agreement Act and the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act - Departmental Manual Release) 505 (DM 2) 2.14 (B) numbers (1) and (4). WMI is the only organization with extensive multi-state and international landscape conservation experience; WMI has been an integral part of the North Atlantic and Appalachian LCC process. We are confident the success achieved in the Northeast Region can also become a success in the Southwest Region. Because we expect a long-standing relationship with Mexico in this LCC, the international experience is truly unique. The single-source award to the WMI is necessary to assure active conservation of important fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats in the Region 2 LCCкs. Competition could delay important conservation progress and would have a significant adverse effect on the Service's mission, especially establishing landscape priority of the LCC and outreach activities.
