Restoration of wildlife habitat to restore and protect sage grouse, desert tortoise, and other upland habitats for priority species as well as instream and riparian habitat for migratory birds, endangered or special status aquatic species and other native and priority species. Increase on-the-ground project work to conserve, restore, and reduce the threats to sage-grouse and other sensitive species in high priority habitats. Continue consistent habitat monitoring across the range of the Greater Sage-Grouse and other landscape species using the Habitat Assessment Framework (HAF) and the land use plan habitat objectives for sage grouse and other priority species. Continue seed collections within priority species habitat and continue to develop genetically appropriate native and non-native plant material for use in habitat restoration. Continue to work with partners to prioritize and implement priority species conservation actions. The BLM manages these resources in cooperation with states, tribes, other federal agencies, and non-governmental organizations.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
