<[link removed]> ConservAmerica Applauds Advancement of Bipartisan Recovering America's Wildlife Act April 7, 2022 ConservAmerica commends the members of the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee for advancing bipartisan legislation to strengthen local approaches to protecting at-risk fish and wildlife populations. The Recovering America’s Wildlife Act (RAWA <[link removed]> ) would provide additional federal funding under the Wildlife Restoration Act to states, territories and tribal governments to protect at-risk fish and wildlife populations and habitat. The legislation was advanced Thursday out of committee on a 15-5 vote. It now goes to the full Senate for consideration. “Strengthening protections for at-risk species through state-based management is among our highest priorities,” said ConservAmerica Vice President Todd Johnston. “We applaud the committee for advancing this important legislation on a bipartisan basis. RAWA will provide a stable source of funding for states, territories and tribes to protect wildlife before they must be listed on the Endangered Species Act.” ConservAmerica sent a letter <[link removed]> to the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee at the end of last year supporting RAWA. ConservAmerica applauds the lead Senate sponsors of the bill, Sens. Martin Heinrich (D-New Mexico) and Roy Blunt (R-Missouri), and EPW Chairman Tom Carper (D-Delaware ) and Ranking Member Shelley Moore Capito (R-West Virginia) for their continued efforts to improve protection for at-risk species, and urges the full Senate to move forward with its consideration.
