Recovering America's Wildlife Act bill<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Recovering America's Wildlife Act \u2013 introduced July 12, 2019 This bill (H.R. 3742) is a bold effort to reverse America's wildlife crisis. Recovering America's Wildlife Act will address this with a once in a generation investment to fund wildlife recovery efforts in each state including Colorado. The Colorado Wildlife Action Plan lists 55 \u0153tier 1\u009d species of greatest conservation need and an overall 159 such species. The bill has passed out of the House and Senate committees and will be next on the House and Senate Floors. Stay tuned. We are working to gain support among each of Colorado's 7 Representatives.
\nPlease help!<\/em><\/p>\n
