Recovering America's Wildlife Act was introduced in the U.S. Congress as House Resolution 4647 (H.R. 4647). Congressman Jeff Fortenberry (R-NE) and Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (D-MI) introduced this bipartisan legislation. The Act would dedicate $1.3 billion annually to the Wildlife Conservation Restoration Program to conserve fish and wildlife. The funds would come from the development of energy and mineral resources on federal lands and waters.
"This is a very important and creative legislative initiative to enhance wildlife ecosystems across our nation through constructive partnerships in states," stated Representative Fortenberry in a release from the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies.
